tachycardia / sweating / bleeding gums
Posted: 09-05-08 14:38pm

What would cause bleeding gums, intermittent tachycardia, bruising and over all feeling of not feeling well? I've read posts after posts and so far my doctor has not found anything! I'm under the care of a hematologist who has not seen anything remotely like leukemia, anemia, or difficulty with white or red blood cells. The white blood cells were low at one reading and ok the next. I was hospitalized for tachycardia and nausea a month ago, but nothing like that since. The dentist said that my gums were bleeding excessively but with no sign of plaque or gum disease. All other panels show normal thyroid function, with normal levels. The cardiologist ran tests and all is well with my heart. Still waiting for results of tests for RA, fibromyalgia (sp) HIV and lupus. I have shortness of breath after exercising or during it and daily doses of sweating and intermittent night sweats but I thought it was all menopausal in nature before I had bruising and all these other weird symptoms. Included in this is anxiety attacks as well but they are also the menopausal symptoms I've had before, just more frequent.

Decreased number of blood thrombocytes (platelts) could cause excessive bleeding.

What was your thrombocyte level?

Did you performe any blood coagulation tests?

Thank you for responding Dr. Nikola! My platelet count was in the normal range, the last four times it's been taken. The last reading was Hct 35.7 L, PLT (K/cmm) 243, and the only low count was with the Hct and Lipase was 372 which was high? Do not see the thrombocyte level on any of my blood tests results, what would that be under? Have one more round of blood tests that I don't have the results from yet. The blood coagulation tests have been ok. All pretty much in the normal range. I also have had 2 episodes of blacking out. They last less than a second and then I'm back and it has only happened once to a point where I fell into some furniture before coming to. The doctor has referred me to a neurologist. Received results of normal for the cardiac tests, echo, stress and nuclear too.

If platelt's number and coagulation tests are fine then you probably don't have any coagulation disorder that would cause excessive bleeding.

Sudden tachicardia attacks can be proved only with 24 hours holter monitoring.

Night sweating could be due to infection but has to be confirmed with laboratory tests.

Blacking out episodes could be due to low blood pressure (tachicardia).

You should wait for the rest of the laboratory tests.
