Hi there, hoping someone reads this and
can help!
About 3 or 4 months ago I was stood
working when I suddenly felt a pounding in
my chest and became immediately weak and
dizzy with pain and a locking sensation in
my right knee area. Obviously frightening
as id never experienced this before, id
been having bouts of tiredness for about
12 months but just put it down to working
conditions and lack of sleep.
This has over the months progressed to
bouts or attacks which seem to be getting
increasingly worse. It starts where I
feel fuzzy,dizzy, light headed and very
irritable with muscle pain and fatigue.
My muscles in my arm and legs especially
my left arm / shoulder feel burning and
tired and weak, a bit like when youve
banged your arm or over worked.
My legs seem to stumble like im catching
the bottom of my feet on the floor.
My vision doesnt blur but becomes a
little dull and darkened and I get very
sensitive to noise.
Until recently ive had no real headaches
but now these have started, on a daily
basis , never a pain I could position or
pinpoint but seems to be worse around the
top of my spine and over my eyes, making
my eyes feel bulging and very tired. The
back of my nose / throat seems to swell
and I can smell what I can only describe
as blood, like when you get a nose bleed
but in my case nothing comes out. I also
feel nauseus.
I have been to 3 different doctors, the
first prescribed me with stomach ulcer
pills and sent me for blood tests which
came back clear and told me it could be
stress / anxiety.
The second gave me beta blockers and said
it was migraines, even though there was no
headache at this time, he said its a type
of migraine that has no headache or it
could be anxiety
the third prescribed me antibiotics , 8 a
day and stemetil 3 times a day and told me
it was a viral infection and anxiety.
Well my pills have all ran out , I still
feel as bad as ever, I live in the uk
where everything has to be stress related
and it seems like you actually have to be
continually bleeding from at least 7
orifices to get tested for anything. Any
ideas??????
You need to undergo a electrocardiogram,
endoscopy of ugi tract, random blood sugar
examination to have an idea about the
cause of your symptoms.
