every day when I wake up I feel extremely weak and dizzy. Dr checked cortisol levels and they are fine. Had subclavian steal surgery two years ago and felt fine for a year. Now I am so discouraged because I never know when these dizzy spells will occur. One day Im fine and the next I cant function. My doctor has taken blood work and wants more done. I also have ringing in ears when my weakness comes on. My feet get very cold ..and some tingling in my hands....I feel like Im dying can you help me.

sorry for all your problems.  First have you seen a cardiologist specifically,  Start there especially going to a heart specialist and checking you out completely. If you get swollen quite often I can offer one suggestion as I have seen with my dad, my dad has plenty of problems and he continually swelled up with fluid especially around heart and swollen legs, feet etc.  Unitl finally he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  Doesnt sound like it means,when someone has heart problems as you describe fluid will tend to build up mostly from the persons diet.After many hospital visits we finally found a cardio doctor who diagnosed him and mandated he stay off salt, and anything containing salt. he has been on a salt free diet and  It has now been 11 months since this happened and he has not seen a swollen day since.  He also has high blood pressure, history of heart attack and is on many meds inlcluding coumdin to ward off blood clots.  Please go to see a cardio since you list many symptons similar.  I wish you well.
