White Male 38yr
I have recently had a battery of scans, procedures, and visits with specialists
Cardiac Specialist - June 2010 - Everything Fine - BP 120/80
Gastroenterologist - August 2010 - Endoscopy - Erosion of Esophagus, and H Pylori - Nexium and Antibiotics
Neurologist - Brain MRI - Found Golf Ball Cyst in Cerebellum, EMG (Brain Waves) Normal
NeuroSurgeon - High Field Brain MRI with Dye - Suffered Panic Attack with BP at 180/120 - In ER for 2 hrs - NeuroSurgeon Consult - Surgery not recomended beacuse not causing my symptoms.
Neurologist - CTScan of Abdomen - Normal except Fatty Liver (Had since 2007 - nonalcoholic) AST and ALT slightly elevated
In April of 2010, I was working out at the Gymn on my shoulders and felt lightheaded and passed out. Could not work out again since I felt the same feeling everytime I would start to work out.
I started feeling chest pain, that was when I went to see the cardiologist. my neurologist found my CPK was 600 and said I had muscle damage, but not cardiac. The pain I was feeling in my chest was muscular pain of my pecs.
In July 2010, I went to home depot and felt weak and had to lay on the ground for 20 mins. I also had several episodes like this at work - I found out that this happened when I was hungry. I would also have panic attacks at night because I would wake up and feel like I wasn't breathing. I knew I wasn't suffocating, but it felt as though there was no air in my lungs. (I also have chemical induced asthma from work)
I have also not had normal hunger pain sounds (stomach growling) for three years, but instead I get throat spasms when I am hungry. My gastro said it was Acid Reflux Disease and to take the nexium.
My current symptoms are:
Ringing in the ears
Pressure around Temples and Eyes
Eyes have floating things in vision
I feel quick dizzy spells when I move my head too fast or when I eat (Hard chewing a lot brings it on)
BP is 130/90 and When they take my BP on my left arm, I get anxiety attack automatically
muscular pain that is sporadic over my body, sometimes like needle stabs
tremors in my feet, fingers, and groin - feels like vibrating cell phone - not constant
I also get rashes in groin, toes and underarms - smells like bo even after shower, I have a cream the dr prescribed but as soon as it gets better, I stop taking and it comes back.
Acne flareups all over, and really dry skin, my skin is like rice paper.
I also have testicular pain - had epididymitus was given antibiotics but the pain returns
I also had another instance where I was working and my heart rate was up to 200, but I wasn't even breathing heavy and I got all weak and sweaty. It was like they were disconnected. Usually when you run or work hard you start to breathe heavier, but I was breathing normal but my heart was racing so fast.
I have had blood tests for:
Diabetes
Liver Enzymes
Cholesterol
CPK
Yeast Infections
Bacterial Infections
Viral Infections
Getting a blood test for:
Vitamin Deficiency
Heavy Metal Poisoning
Scheduled a Hearing and Eye Exam for this month
They haven't found anything wring with me. The neurologist said I might have panic disorder, but panic disorder doesn't cause rashes or riinging in the ears. I have ruled out the symptoms I get when I have a panic attack, and the ones listed above are the constant.
I have read where GERD can cause nerve damage and give you asthma, and ear infections, can the ear ringing, head pressure, and dizzyness be caused by GERD? what else could it be? I am at my wits end, I cant even clean up my house or care for my daughter because I get weak, dizzy, and pressure in my head.
