Do YOU think this is thyroid related ???

[TOLD YOU]

I don't know what to do or where to turn anymore (Doctors I mean) !
We went into Wal-Mart for school supplies today, while we were in there, I got really shaky, sorta like all the blood was draining from my body...like maybe I was gonna fain,  like my head was full.  I got to the point where people were talking but I could not even listen,  I know this makes no sense but it happen and no one believes me.  I get really TIRED after and really depressed.  i came home took and bath and cried.  My hubby had to teach a mens class at church and I was scared for him to leave me alone with the kids but I don't tell him becuase he thinks nothing is wrong with me and I KNOW IT IS !!!   This is what I experience from time to time, and it has been going on for 4 years now and I just can't take this much longer.  I told my endo. about all this and he said it is NOT thyroid related, so that is as far as it goes.  My ENT did a 5 hour glucose test and said I was hypoglycemic but the Endo. said NO WAY you can know that from that test, but he doesnt do any other test to see what it is.   ****HELP*****...LOL..I just want to scream kick and cry !!  Oh my last labs were 6 months ago, I go in September.

I did take my sugar in Wal-Mart while I felt this way and it was 90 so that wouldn't be it.
I don't know where else to turn.

THANKS for any input !

I have had the same thing going on since I began taking Synthroid in March for Hashimoto's throiditis. I described it the same way. I feel like I can't focus on anything and I'm dizzy, like I'm in my own world. Then I feel like the blood is draining out of my body. I'm always sure that I'm going to faint, then I just want to go to sleep and cry about it. My upper back and neck ache when it happens. My doctor suspected hypoglycemia because it happens often after I eat, but the 3 hour glucose test was normal. I've been afraid to be alone, too. It has happened to me several times while shopping too. My doctor is stumped and my endocrinologist says my labs are normal. Just letting you know you aren't alone. I refuse to believe it is anxiety, because I'm pretty carefree and it happens so randomly. I'm going in for more labs this week to see if they can find anything. Let me know if you find out something!

It's summer over there, right? It is common to feel faint after going into an air-conditioned building. Are you having enough fluid? This can cause the feeling of fainting in the warmer weather too, if you are not hydrated enough. Are your iron levels checked regularly? I kow all these things, as I have had them happen to me. Some people are more prone to this type of problem than others. I can't recall the name of it, but it has to do with the blood pressure falling due to stress to the body, like heat, dehydration etc.

Sounds like you were on the verge of fainting. Could it be a heart or low blood pressure condition? Maybe a Cardiologist to rule out a heart condition. I have experienced this when my blood pressure dropped suddenly and I just about fainted. I also have a prolapsed value in my heart. Also some medications can make you feel this way. Are you taking anything new? Start to keep a diary of when these episodes occur and what activity you were doing when it occurred along with any other info. you feel is necessary.
