Oh and I always feel tyred after
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There are two main possibilities. One is postural hypotension and the other is vasovagal attack. In postural hypotension, the blood pressure falls when you stand and causes all the symptoms that you are suffering. Dehydration, certain medications, heart problems, untreated diabetes, and nervous system disorders can all cause this. TIAs or transient ischemic attacks can also be the cause. Certain internal ear problems can also affect blood pressure monitoring by the body by not properly signaling a change in position. Blood pressure monitoring, tilt table test, EKG, heart echo, ambulatory blood pressure recording are all required for diagnosis.
In vasovagal attack, which almost acts the same way, the complex group of symptoms are 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.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Ok so you said stress could be related do you think that then that mabey being depressed is connected??? I'm not positive if I am depressed or not but I am almost positive that I am
depressed. When I go online and check out ute symptoms I match usualy all of them except substance abuse.
I'll say check beside all the symptoms I have
—Depressed mood or sad all the time- check
—Lack of energy feeling tyred all the time- check
—loss of intrest in activities once enjoyed- check
—with drawl from family or friends- check
—iratibility, anger or anxiety- check
—inability to concentrate- check
—significant weight loss- check (though I'm trying to lose weight and am willing to go a few or as many pound under weight to have a flat stumic but am helthy weight now)
—significant change in sleep patterns- check
—Feelings of guilt or worthlessness- check
—Aches and pains with no known cause- check
—Not caring about anything- check
—Thoughts of death or suicide- check
and yes these have lasted WAY longer than 2 weeks this has been going on for about a year since my brother was hit by a truck and killed last summer!!!
So do you think it is connected??? Though that wouldent explain the shaking legs because that happened befor my brother passed.
Sorry if it os completly off topic but I am just wondering if it os connected???
Or could it be related to extreme emotion from what I told you above???
Please I would like to know if their connected
