The doctor said everything was fine I just needed to walk more. The stress test was over in five minutes I was out of breath in three. The neurologist said I had a few spots on my brain and some bulging disc in my neck emg look normal but maybe I should take zonegran 100 mg and he will run doppler tomorrow. On my right carotid My gp says I am borderline anemic but would like to know why and Endocrinologist says I am diabetic two but I am on no medication and my blood sugar is 96 on waking and he also says I am hypothroid but has dropped me from 75 to 50 synthroid. I have had weak spells where my body feels like it is on tranquilizers sometime I cant get my sentence complete My throat is mildly sore and right side get odd sometime blood pressure 142 over 94 or 120 over 70 Pulse good. I hade a normal day with more energy today hope it stays this has lasted a month started with the flu. I was so embarrassed my stress test was over so quickly but really do not want to bother doctors if they think I am a quack. Is it horrible my stress test was over so quickly I have been weak for a month My husband thinks this is chemical like maybe lead poisoning wants me to have keylation What should I do.
