In need of some serious help.

Hi, I am 18 year old male. For the past 5 months I have been experiencing following: really hot in my upper body almost 24/7, feeling almost like sunburn all the time. Heart palpitations, sometimes with dizzines and fast heartrate. Blood pressure has been normal around 120/60, but occasional it has spiked. I have also been experiencing occasional headaches. Occasionally out of breath. Finger and toenails are occasionally turning to bluish colour. Also some chest pressure. Sometimes my eyes feel dry and also my skin seems sometimes pretty dry. Also occasional pain in the kidney region. The cause is still undiagnosed.

When I first started having these, I went to the ER 6 times in two weeks. They couldnt find nothing wrong with me. I went to doctor too, I had thyroid tests which turned out to be normal, my TSH was 0.65. It had been 2.2 just 2 months earlier. Kidney and liver tests were normal too. I had echocardiogram and stress test on heart. They diagnosed me with mitral valve prolapse and mild valve regulation. But that doesn't explain all my symptoms. Cortisol levels were normal, I tested DHEA-S also, the doctor said it was high'ish if I remember correctly but haven't still got the results on paper. I feel really ill all the time and the heat is really horrible. Also it feels like it is affecting my heart too because it pounds really hard 24/7, I have been taking beta blockers for it, which helps slightly.

I really want to find the cause to this before it causes some serious damage. Could it be something wrong in my adrenals? That could explain the pain around kidneys. If anyone has some insight that would be awesome.

I strongly urge you to see a natropath doctor.  One of the best in the buisiness is Dr. Reed Sainsbury.  Look him up - he can test you, diagnose you and find the core issue causing these symptoms.  Not only that, but he has helped to cure many people.  He works out of Alabama, but in some cases he is willing to travel to see his patients.  Look him up - Dr. Reed Sainsbury  he has a website that you may find helpful.

If you are still experience heart problems, you should get back to your doctor and ask for a referral to a cardiologist.

With regard to the pain around your kidney area despite the fact that the blood kidney function has come back clear, you need to discuss this with your  doctor.  Every time you have he symptoms and the pain, you should take I a urine sample to be tested.  

The urine should look a light straw colour, but this doe not always mean there is no infection, especially if here are symptoms.  A dark coloured urine could mean you are dehydrated or there I blood in the urine.  A foul smelling urine an one that is cloudy usually can be indicative of a urinary tract infection.

Ask the doctor to refer you for an ultrasound on your urinary tract t make sure you have no kidney stones.  Kidney stones can be as small as a grain of sand, but can still cause problems, especially when they start to move.  Sometimes you may notice a sediment at the bottom of a urine sample.

Make sure that you drink plenty of fluids (not alcohol) so that you do not become dehydrated.

Make an appointment to see your doctor.
