Unexplainable things

[PrettyKiity808]

I have all these symptoms myself. My blood pressure doesn't drop when I stand. I guess this has something to do with the blood being in the legs. The heart is beating fast to try to compensate because the blood is not coming back to the heart. It stays in the legs. The body is not getting enough blood pumped out or oxygen. That is why the faint, lightheaded, dizzy, tired, tackycardia. I feel like ****. I use to be happy and healthy. I was very active. I couldn't drive, go to work, or barely walk across a room three years ago. I'm a little better with being on antidepressants. They only give me energy physically. Some doctors think it's stress. I know and so does everyone else in my life there is something wrong. Now, I'm going to be getting my adrenal glands investigated. I was on Skelaxin, Ibuprofen, Mono Mac-antibiotic when this all started.

Try the disautonomia forum here - go through the articles on POTS, NCS and OI - you've mentioned some things that fit in there...not saying you have it - just read up on and it ask your cardiologist or GP if they know anything about it; sometimes it's very hard to diagnose

If you want to heal your stress and anxiety and depression, i do not recommend pharmaceuticals.
How do you know you make progress when you're not being sober?

People who take heroin or ecstasy feel happy too,
so if the psychiatrist says that someone is making progress... how do you know it's because they have learned to control themselves or whether they are just feeling the effect of the drug?

The answer is usually revealed when people try to get off their pharma drugs.
In many cases people can't because they still feel bad.
The truth is that they probably have never learned to control themselves properly,
and unfortunately also because they are feeling withdrawal from the drugs.

The doctors say that this withdrawal is depression so the patient need to go back on the drug.
This is a classic drug-dealer situation that pharmaceutical companies are profiting from.

benzo's and ssri's have many side-effects, effectively once u want to withdraw from them. i suggest u read horror stories from places like paxilprogress.org or benzoisland.org if you or one of your loved ones ever decide to use pharmaceutical drugs to combat depression or anxiety.

i recommend relaxation techniques such as vipassana.

there you can read a free book that contains all the information you need to learn to transform anxiety and depression into peace and happiness.
it takes a couple of months to adjust your behavior but after 1 or 2 years you will have made incredible progress.


some people fail at adjusting their behavior even though they have made a serious effort for a period of time that is long enough for it to start to work,
through techniques such as vipassana meditation.

for these people, as well as people who experience lifethreatening depression or anxiety,
pharmaceutical drugs may be the best option... but they should only be used for as brief periods as possible.

if it's not even necessary, don't bother going on them.
it's not worth the potential side-effects.
