Sorry i know this isnt diabetes related but as an endocrinologist I hope you can please help me with my mysterious problem, i have seen a cardiologist who dismissed my problem as being non cardiac and sent me back to my regular doctor.
I just don't get it. I'm a 30 yr old male who 5 months ago started having heavy chest pain and severe lightheaded spells. During lightheadedness, my blood pressure can often elevated 50 points higher than my normal. But I can also just be sitting around doing nothing and my blood pressure sharply drop off to 55/40 and then quickly jump back to 130/80. I feel a combined nausea and breathless feeling alot..it is quite distressing. Often I get heart palps which seem to focus on the area just below my heart on the left hand side, and moving or changing positions tends to agrivate them when i get in the heart palp "mode". I have also had periods of o2 desaturation into the 80's where i feel extra lightheaded and confused, but i can still feel lightheaded with higher BP than normal and o2 in the high 90's.
I've had a brain and neck MRI, holter, many EKG, the usual labs, resting echo, regular stress test, and chest xrays.
Please tell me what can I do, who can I see, do you know what it could possibly be?

Dear Friends,
I have very much enjoyed my time on Medhelp and have learned from you even while hosting our Ask-A-Doctor forum for Diabetes. Sadly I am leaving the Medhelp community as my own practice has become busier and time constraints have proved quite challenging. So from April 7th 2008 I will be officially away from Medhelp, but you can still find me at our practice website www.endocrinehelp.com, so please drop me a line if you wish. Most likely a new physician will be hosting the Diabetes forum for Medhelp in the future, so please continue to check in with the Medhelp community.
All the best to you and blessings for the future,
Sincerely,
Anita Ramsetty,MD
