Please help..Tired and confused

[jazzmynn]

I am so miserable and I don't understand.
My symptoms are that I have pain that stays in my right arm and hurts on and off in different places on my body, and fatigue like I have no energy, and my heart feels like it's jumping.  I feel like crying sometimes cause of the pain and feeling tired.

I have been to many doctors and hear everything from fibromyalgia to hormonal.

My current dr says it could be from sleep apnea (which I'm being treated for)), he just tested my vitd and b12 levels because they have been low in the past.

All of my blood tests for thyroid and other stuff come out normal.

Can low vitb or vitd cause this?

Has anyone else had these symptoms and what helps?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, low Vit B and Vit D can be the cause of your symptoms. Low Vit B causes neurological pain and low Vit D causes bone pain. Combined the two can cause over all general fatigue and low feeling. Wait for the results. If they are low then correct supplementation will help relieve the symptoms. Also get a complete profile to rule out anemia. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

You could ask to be referred to  a rheumatologist, who can check you for trigger points- doctors have a minimum number of these trigger points that have to be positive for pain for them to come back with a verdict of fibromyalgia.  The other stuff besides thyroid they checked- did it include checking for lupus & also for iron and ferritin levels?  Low iron can cause fatigue and irregular heart rhythms & rapid heart rate.  Even if your CBC is normal, low iron or ferritin (iron stores) can cause symptoms.  Your pain stays in your right arm- have you had that one MRI'd?

Is your doctor treating the possible fibromyalgia?  Many folks take Lyrica, Gabapentin and other meds.  For many this is the right treatment. Fib. cant really be diagnosed, it is just an elimination game. Good luck
