To many symptoms and no answers!!
by method007, Feb 04, 2006 12:00AM
So sorry for writing so much but thought I would include everything, as I am really worried about what is going on as don’t seem to be getting any answers.
It all started about a year and half ago when I started getting pains on my right side where my kidney lies. The pain would start when I drank alcohol. Saw the doctor and he said to not drink, which did stop the pain, but I had various tests done (blood, urine, x-ray, ultra sound, Endoscopy, and one where they eject dye and take pictures) and they all came out normal. Also had an abdominal scan as well which came out fine. I don’t drink any alcohol no more but still get pains in my side and when I play football the pains get worse. Saw the urologist and he’s final say was that it was just muscular Few months after I noticed the pains in my side, I started getting chest pains and palpitations. Would get chest pains straight down the middle and then some on either side of the chest. Saw the doc and over the past year have had all the tests done (x-ray, blood, 24hr and 48hr tape monitor, running machine tests, ECG, blood pressure, cholesterol tests) which all came out fine and the final word on the matter was that it was probably just muscular, AGAIN, as everything was fine from the results. So that was he’s final diagnoses. Also from this my heartbeat on average is around 55 beats a minute, which the doc said, was fine from the exercise that I did and sometimes-even drops below 50, which he said was fine as well. But I told him that I only exercised 3 times a week and was not even strenuous. In the last few months my symptoms of my chest have got worse. For no I get attacks where my heart starts racing and pounding for no reason and feels like I am going to have a heart attack. About two months ago I had an attack from just laying on my bed and lasted for 3 days. In them days I was rushed to ER as couldn’t control my heart rate and I started to burn up. The tests came out normal and took a temp and that was fine as well. That was the third time I was rushed to ER! Have started to notice that I my leg, arm and cheek (all on the left side) starts to burn up for no reason and when that happens my heart starts pounding and feels extremely hot (even when it’s winter) and have to take a cold shower and have the windows open to cool down. Also from the last yr I noticed that when I drink alcohol, tea, coffee, coke my heart starts fluttering and feels like that I am anxious or scared for no reason. So have completely cut this out and has worked but the burning on the left side is getting worse and just feels like I am going to have another attack. Also had a food intolerance test done and that said that I was intolerance to alcohol, tea and wheat, which I have taken out of my diet but keep getting these attacks (this was taken out of my diet about 5months ago). I also had thrush, so got tested for every sexual disease and for Candida and that came out fine. When I do cardio now I get slight pains in my chest but not that bad. But when I do weights I start to burn up on the left side again and feels like I will have to stop that as well. I thought the food intolerance was the Key to all of this but even the doc said that if that was the case that it would have shown up from all the blood and urine test I have had. Also since I was about 16 I always getting constipation, even if I eat the rights foods (veg, fruit, bran) and when I am bloated causes pain in my sides. Also, if I go to sleep for an hr or so, I wake up with my heart pounding and feel really shaky and feel like ****. I get really awful sick feeling in my stomach when I start to burn up as well. I have researched everywhere and there are so many things that have the same symptoms as me but my doc keeps thinking that it’s in my head. Basically the following has happened in the last year
* Palpitations, racing heart beat, chest pains, pains in my right side, burning up on the left side, hair loss, extreme tiredness, can’t eat or drinks things because the effort they have, get sore muscles very easily even when I stretch properly. Get tingly sensations in my hands now again, when I am typing. Also find it hard to put on weight. Left leg below the knew is hurting for no reason and sometimes feels numb.
I am 27, I keep myself healthy and fit, stop drinking alcohol and quit smoking 2 and half yrs ago and this is all happening to me. I am meant to be getting married in 6 months and don’t know if I can with all this happening to me and is really scary as no one knows what is wrong with me. Heard that I might have an overactive gland somewhere but I don’t know. Also has a thyroid test done and came out fine. The main problem is my heart and chest and these attacks I am having for no reason at all. I am not stressed at all as everything is going for me apart from my health. All in all this has all happened in the last year and a half and symptoms are not improving after all the times I have been to the doctors.
Please could you help as I don’t know what to do or where to turn to as I have given up with my doc and I really can’t carry on feeling like this and these burning sensations on my left side is getting worse, especially down the lower half of my left leg, which I think also causes the heart palpitations and makes it race.

You said you had thyroid testing done but make sure they've did the thyroid antibody testing (Tg and TPO antibodies).

Many thanks again

The doctor did say that it might be aniexty attacks but something doesn't fit. It's the burning up that is really bothering me as i really can't stand the heat now, and my left leg just starts to burn up and start having these palpitaions and even light excerise causes me to burn up and it's driving me mad of what it could be. I am meant to be getting married soon and am really worried because i am feeling all if this now and it's only Winter, and don't know how i am going to react when the summertime comes as that is when the wedding is and i don't know how i am going to react to the heat!??
