that was it! im going crazy :(
Just handed you information on panic disorders and that was that? Geez! He should have also referred you to a psychotherapist and/or prescribed some medication for you.
no he didnt? no plan just to kick along with it! nice huh?
Yes, panic disorders can cause symptoms 24/7. Did he recommend a plan of treatment for you? (psychotherapy, medications)
You can also post in the Anxiety Forum as well.
is it normal for your heart rate to increase when breathing in, and decrease when breathing out? my doc says it is?
i went to my doctor again today and he handed me some information on panic disorder.. but can that really cause 24/7 symptoms like mine. everyday allday, as soon as i awake!?
mine goes faster when i am up,i still say to discuss anxiety with your doctor.
my blood pressure is always within the norm, 120/80 and heart rate is pretty good, unless i am up and about walking around, it goes fast but doc said its normal.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Your symptoms sound like anxiety and panic disorder. Hence an assessment regarding this is a must. In females it can also be due to hormone imbalance and at your age, it can be due to PCOS. It can also be a vasovagal attack. The complex group of symptoms is mediated by the vagus nerve. This nerve is irritated by prolonged standing, standing up suddenly, stress, pain, hunger, dehydration, intense emotion etc. A tilt table test, holter monitor, echocardiogram etc are done for confirmed diagnosis. Internal ear examination by an ENT specialist too should be carried out. 24 hours blood glucose monitoring too should be done.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
I didin't think of thyroid issues when I first read your post. I though it sounded more like extreme anxiety. I would say it is not your heart if the echo, holter monitor and the ekg are clearing ok; would doubt it is cardiac.
What is your blood pressure and heart rate like?
I am still convinced this is anxiety.
hi sorry i forgot to mention that yes i have had my thyroid checked twice. does anyone think it can be heart related? even though tests are normal?
possibly anxiety and extreme stress. here is a website that you can check out to compare your complications and symptoms. http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-symptoms.shtml
have you been under any mental stress lately that could trigger off all these signs considering you have had all these tests done and are all normal maybe you should speak to your doctor about anxiety
Hi.
Please may i ask if you have had your thyroid tested?
If not please ask them to do it.
Also flushing can be due to some hormonal imbalance, so maybe some hormonal testing also.
You mention youve had 2 blood counts, but not thyoid.
Flushing can be seen in different illnesses, ie cushings, pheochromacytoma, etc
Good luck
