Any insight please?


I've been sick for about 6 months. Pcp mentioned pots but I think it's a endocrine issue. History of reactive hypoglycemia since 16 (34 now)  asthma and newfound allergies. Symptoms are : extreme fatigue, Vertigo, cold all the time, irritability, shaking, brain fog, losing periods of time, falling asleep (did this driving), not feeling rested, short of breath, weight gain, dizzy, bp fluctuates usually low reading like 100/68 but some higher, as high as 150/92, fast heart rate usually in 90 or 120 range resting.  Taking phenterimine helped me feel better.  Recently had labs,  b12 191 -  I've took a shot a week for a month now a shot a month, no difference. Glucose 93, sodium 144,potassium 3.8,wbc 5.8 rbc 4.27, a1c 5.2 free t3 3.4,free t4 1.12

All my doctors know and the surgery is set to continue with the precaution noted that I may have pots or addison's.   I guess I'm just trying to gain some insight beforehand, as I can't seem to find consistent normal levels anywhere.

If you are having surgery, you really need to let your doctor/doctors know how you are feeling.  They are the only ones qualified to evaluate all these issues, especially before surgery.  If you are ill, I doubt they will do a surgery on you.  Please call the doctor and speak with him/her.
