I can't figure out why I feel like this

[Annabeans]

I wasn't sure where to post this because I'm having a number of issues at this point.

I've been feeling weak, tired, dizzy, and shaken for the past 3 weeks. I've also have had moments where I've almost fainted... these moments happen at least once per day and they feel like this (Sudden flash of heat, sharp chest pains, my heart begins beating fast, dizzy, and legs begin to shake and I can no longer stand) this lasts for about 10 seconds at a time... I went to the doctor and they said I'm fine accept that I have a "trace" urinary infection. Here's the thing I've always had "trace" amounts of bacteria in my urine since I was a child and every year I take antibiotics for it and it never goes away (and yes I take them correctly).. I'm a 24 years old woman and to suddenly feel like this makes no sense. I took the antibiotics I was prescribed but I still feel the same. I went back to the doctor and on top of that I have new symptoms... nausea, steady chest pains, and now a burning/itching rash on my legs and chest. Now I've been told I'm still fine it's just a viral thing and to take benadryl and motrin. Well, I've been taking that and I feel the same if not worse. The itching does not stop with benadryl and the pain in my chest does not stop. I've now developed pain on the sides of my breasts and standing for even a few minutes makes my legs shake. I also now have a heighten sensitivity to sounds. But I tell this to the doctors and they just don't know. They still point to stupid things, horrible guesses, and quick assumptions. A good one I got was that my iron is one point below normal so maybe that's causing my problem.

Any suggestions of what kind of tests I should be asking my Doctor to do? I just want to get better already!

I had chronic urinary infections and they were gonna put me on permanent antibiotics too, but then I found out from a NUrse Practitioner, that high doses of vitamin C prevent the urinary infections, and I have never had one since. I seriously think you should try it and get off those antibiotics. The dose you need is to start taking 4000mg of vitamin C in the AM and 2000mg at night, and do that for 4 days. then switch to 2000mg  twice a day. Then stop the antibiotic and keep taking the vit c. have your urine tested after a week or so, and you will see it is gone. The rash could be from a reactio to the antibiotic. The symptoms  of shaky legs and pass out feeling- does sound like you could have a low blood sugar at those times (one possibility). Try drinking orange juice when that happens and if it workd, you will know. If it is low blood sugar (which I also have a problem with), you just have to start eating a balnced diet with not too much sugar at one time.  Always have snacks available or juice for those times.
As far as the chest pains, could be diferent things, but I just had the flu, and have real bad chest pains. They said I got Pneumonia but I have no cough at all. Just chest pain, dizziness, faintness, and low grade fevers (I had high fevers for 3 days). Could you have a slight flu?
Most of all, get rid of those antibiotics (with vit c), and then see how you feel. Try treating the shakiness with orange juice. These may sound silly- but trust me. I had severe UTI's and now have none with no antibiotics.

This could be hormonal related, I would ask for some hormone levels in the form of blood work or the saliva test, sometimes when our progesterone or estrogen is out of whack, we will have these symptoms.

How is your blood sugar level ? Low blood sugar Hypoglycemia can give you some of the symptoms check it out ..

never-mind about the PID I just read about it and I have none of those symptoms nor am I sexually active.. either way I guess I will try the gyno any way...

I considered the iron thing but it's not low enough to cause me to feel the way I do. Plus I do take multivitamins every day.. They have taken all the blood tests and urin tests possible and I'm apparently perfectly healthy to them.

I did just get a good suggestion from a friend to see a gyno to check to see if it's pelvic inflammatory disease..

You could be low on iron if your feeling weak but it does'nt explain your other symptoms. Has your Dr done any other testing on you besides your iron? Like thyroid, blood sugar, blood cell counts, vitamin levels. I would ask for more testing and if your Dr refuses then find another one who will. Take care. Remar
