Help with my daughter

[sayaprayer]

She has been having trouble since she hit puberty.  She is 18 years old.  Heavy periods, darker hair on legs and arms, acne.  before puberty she has had fainting spells, nausea, cold sweats and gets pale.  She is getting worse witht the fainting, nausea, cold sweats as she gets older.  She has been to doctor on top of doctor.  They found that she has mthfr heterozygous but said this is not a problem.  Her heart doctor has recently said she has sinus tachycardia.  The meds he put her on for this is causeing chest pain and shortness of breath.  They have checked her thyroids, checked for seizures, anemia and almost everything that you can think of.  Does anyone have any suggetions?  we are at a loss trying to find what is going on with her.

Sorry I didnt really want to post and extremely long question so I failed to mention that she has tried 6 different types of birth control and none worked.  They just made her gain weight.

I'm not a doctor so I can only speak by my own experiences when I was 18. Have you spoken to your daughter about starting her on birth control? I know it wont stop the fainting, nausea and cold sweats but it should help with the heavy periods, hair and acne. Some women are just born with more testosterone thus causing darker thicker hair. Birth control has different side effects for each woman however it cleared up my face, lightened and regulated my periods, helped me loose weight and made me generally happier. Try speaking to your doctor about this. Helping her with the smaller issues may boost her confidence and help the larger issues, its a long shot but its worth a try. Best of luck.
