I've had too many Dx's in the past 10yrs for my multiple symptoms. I'm with the best Doc I've had yet, but now he's even confused...he said he's never thought about another pt's symptoms as much as mine. I'm sorry about the length of this but you really need my whole med hx:
I'm 37, male, high bp x's 20yrs, hypertension, tachycardia, high chol and tryglicerides, 6mo ago Dx w/stage 2 Kidney Dz...now back to stage 1, low blood sodium, high urine sodium and protein levels----but my sodium and kidney levels go up and down week to week and my regular Doc and Kidney Doc are so confused by the varying levels that they are sending me to a lung specialist now. I cough all the time, I'm always tired, weak, dizzy, heartburn, daily headaches, nausea all the time, extreme nausea frequent involuntary vomitting after eating lunch, swollen eyes ankles (painful) and feet, and confusion, concentration, memory probs, focusing problems. AND my BP has been plummitting when taken after I lay down ( diastolic in the 50's ). PLEASE HELP ME...MY DOCTORS HAVE CHECKED ALL THE USUAL DZ'S AND ARE STARTING TO LOOK AT THE RARE ONES---CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US LOOK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

Are you on any meds now? If so, which ones?
