I am a 24 year old female, normal weight (though with some fluctuations, thank you antidepressants-ugh.) the normal aches and tiredness of Fibro/possibly CFS? plus the irritable bowel. These are my ongoing conditions. Generally, I can muster the energy to exercise every day without it exacerbating symptoms. not these past two weeks. started last week with a serious lack of energy. have had a low grade 99s fever as well. but the fatigue was so much worse than normal. Although this week was a little better, I'm still..low on fuel ;) this past Thursday, I thankfully had a doctors appointment, but I had terrible cramps in my stomach that would radiate all over my torso. that got better by Friday. then Saturday (yesterday 5/21) my appetite was way down. a couple bouts of nausea.
And then I was hit by terrible chest pain, and my heart rate shot up, and I was really extremely faint. my mom took me into the urgent care, they did an ekg which looked fine, but they noticed my oxygen levels dropped to about 80% for a few minutes which looked very odd to the doctor. They did some blood tests and called for an ambulance. In the ambulance and ER they gave me aspirin, did more ekgs, took a chest X-ray, gave IV fluids, an anti nausea medicine, more blood tests, and well everything came back normal, and I started to feel a little better, albeit sleeping from anti nausea meds, so they discharged me. but the pain has returned now a couple hours later. I did look up the pain and it seems to be benign chest wall pain. good that it is benign, but I did get a few of the urgent care test results back. My sed rates were elevated. My neutrophil and leukocyte counts were off. protein level was slightly high. slight anemia.
I'm basically..extremely confused. I can't quite fit these puzzle pieces together.
there've also been a few days this month that I felt like I had a UTI, but the test strips (and doctors testcame back negative. In the past I've had a few strange symptoms with UTIs so had it been positive this may not have been such a surprise (freshman year college, movie theater, had sudden shooting pains in my inner left foot, and then I really did faint..friend found me just outside auditorium door, went to the hospital, and all they could find was the infection. so weird.)
does this ring any bells with anyone? any similar incidents? the ER docs came up with nothing, but something was out of whack with my CBC and those other blood tests, and something cause my oxygen levels to drop..they just don't know what..
