I have been experiencing dizzyness(not spinning), light headedness, fainting, loss of feeling in arms, heart palpatations, I periodically have a cough and some chest pain and have had general miserable feelings for 8 weeks. I have been into ER 3 times-I thought I was having a heart attack. The 1st 2 times they said I had Benign Positional Vertigo, but have seen an ENT and he said definitely not and referred me to a cardiologist and neurologist. The 3rd trip to ER was because I lost feeling in my arms and hands and passed out and was kept overnight and had tests run.
I have seen an ENT, Family Doctor, Cardiologist, Pulminary specialist, and a Neurologist. I have had a shearing test, tress test echo; EKG, EEG, MRI on my head; CT on my chest/lungs; extensive blood workup (thyroid, white blood cell count, sugar, etc). All tests came back negative and show that I am in excellent health except for the stress test which showed that I have PAC's periodically. I am on a beta- blocker for that and have a follow-up visit to my cardiologist. My Cardiologist says that the PACs would not be causing my extreme dizziness.
My question is that all specialists say I am healthy and they can't help me. BUT - I currently miss 1 -2 days/week of work where I feel so dizzy and sick that I can't get out of bed and certainly can't drive. My sick feelings are kind of like having a hangover.
I need to know what kind of specialist to go to next or who can I get to help me continue to investigate and find a solution to my illness? Are there other tests you would recommend that I have performed? I cannot live like this - I can't function.
