Other than that, I have lots of other medical issues - such as:
I've suffered from migraines for many years and self-medicated. I finally had to seek treatment for having a continuous migraine that lasted 3 straight days causing vomiting and spiked HBP of 177/115 w/105 Pulse. They performed a CT scan without contrast dye and several white spots appeared in the white matter of the brain (deep inside the middle area). What are those? I have been suffering from some short term memory loss too. Are my migraines causing them?
I have the following diagnoses and/or take medication for them:
Migraines (finally on a rx instead of self-medicating)
PCOS, with Endometriosis and Insulin Resistance
Peptic Ulcer Disease with 4 Pyloric Ulcers less than 1cm from Pylorus
Incisional Hernia from last c-section in which I suffered a hematoma - small instestine is possibly bound (surgery coming up)
Cervix biopsy (results still unknown) - may have hysterectomy with ovaries/tube removal
High Blood Pressure
PAD due to family history of stroke, sudden cardiac arrest and attacks, incl my own small heart attacks
High Bad Cholesterol and Low Good Cholesterol (VAP performed)
Chronic Bronchitis
Seizures due to eclampsia (15 minute and 8 minute seizures with aura, fell down, rigid, shaking, bit tongue, etc)
Head Trauma (CT uncovered something unknown right now) - One neurologist thinks its head trauma - wierd thing is that it seems to resemble a look of a lightening strike to the white spot area. And the bubble looking thing at the brain's edge is in the exact place where I feel my blood pressure rise to the point that it feels like an ax hit me in the head.
I know I'm a mess at 37 years old. I'm trying to figure out what is truly wrong with me because I feel like a few of my symptoms may be connected. Please advise - any help is appreciated.
