4 years ago, my heart went out of rhythm and I had a virtual blackout. At the same time, I also started having psychological symptoms, especially chronic derealization. I don't have anxiety or panic attacks, I feel like something toxic is effecting my mind, like the psychological side effects of Chantix or a similar drug but it won't ever wear off. Now of course at first, I had no idea about any of these terms I'm throwing out, but this is where I am 4 years later. I went on to develop internal cystitis and lower IBD. I now suffer long periods of severe sleep disturbance in the form of repeated awakenings and nightmares, not being able to sleep longer than 5 hours a night, but then inexplicably after a week of this torment, I sleep like a baby and feel so much better. I'm telling you there is no rhyme or reason. My PVC's come and go as do my IC and IBD symptoms, in January my heart went out of rhythm for 5 minutes and I blacked out. Then after a few weeks of PVC's, my sleep became seriously disturbed again, all the while suffering for IC symptoms on and off.
Will I ever know what's wrong with me? My EKG and echo were normal.
