Thank you for your suggestions. blood pressure was normal. Haha about the panic attacks. when the dr asked what meds i was on and i said none for 20 years I could see the gleem in his eye thinking"alright finally a virgin clean body I can pump with meds. Don't worry I won't fill out the perscription if he does. I found out yesterday I have parasites and one of them ***** the blood from my heart every time my heart tries to pump blood. That is really gross to think about

What is your blood pressure? know that heart scans use technetium radiation, TC 99 aka Cardiolite, you don't need this, really, did they do an ekg? That's where they start, no meds, menopause can do this. I'd see an MD that you trust to give you bio identical hormones for awhile. YOu do not have panic attacks. YOU DO NOT HAVE PANIC ATTACKS, ok?
read www.****.com re menopause and various ways to treat. I saw him for about 2 years and the skin cream he Rx'd helped alot with sweats/sleep, but when it continued past menopause and I got skin sores not from testosterone, as it was not a high dose and never reached wnl, the skin sores persisted, I knew it was from the MRI gadolinium. I'm having more sores again, tonight,they just appear, itchy, no bugs here, too dry, animals clean, nothing , I'm sick of it, I took pics, weird pattern,
as far as shakiness, you could be hypo/hyperglycemic or reacting to the artifical sweetners in the soda? Thyroid is first tested with blood test, do not do thyroid scan with radioactive Iodine 131.injected.

forgot to mention that I don't drink but maybe four coffee's a month but i do drink pop. My shakiness doesn't last terribly long but when your among people it feels like forever. And I get a prickly feeling in my hands when that fear comes on

thank you so much for your suggestions. i'm going for my blood test this morning and the cardiologist told me the results will take at least three weeks cuz their doing it the same time as  the blood work. I hadn't been to the dr for seven years and so i'm really freaking out.My dr was suspecting thyroid or that maybe my hormones are all out of wack. My period stopped in January so i assumed I am heading to menopause. Plus my skin gets so clammy and the hotflashes are really annoying.
I was diagnosed with panic attacks years ago and I find that when i'm standing to sing in church with a crowd I feel an angst and panic and with it comes a feeling like i'm going to faint. Yes it is scary. But hearing from others makes me feel less alone. again thank you.

I have tachycardia and mine gets that high and higher,it just started all of the sudden last year,I get very shaky and very weak,  how long does it last? Are you drinking a lot of caffeine or alcohol? Could be your adrenal glands,I would also check you blood sugar while this happens.it could be so many things,did your doctor tell you any results of tests yet? Could be heart related, and besidses heart it could be dehydration, hyperthyroidism,anxiety,Lyme,drug use anemia,so many things that hope the blood work can find,I try to drink a lot of water and lay in a cool quiet room,and do deep breathing or hold my breaths a few times or cough to try and reset it,it doesn't always help but I'm also on beta blockers to slow it,but I can't tell you what to do cause I don't know what's causing yours, mine is heart related,but I know exactly how you feel,it's very scary, but it will get worse while it happens if you stress about it,anyway hope you feel better soon.
