My 80 year old mother is being treated for high blood pressure 174/108, excess acid reflux, and more recently lack of appetite (she's taking Megesterol to stimulate appetite), shortness of breath, chronic fatigue and even difficulty concentrating. She's had numerous tests performed (EKG, MRI, CAT, nerve conduction, etc. etc.) and to date all have come up clear.
She was diagnosed with diverticulitis and has an anuerysm in her stomach which they are monitoring. Doctors advised these (diverticulitis & aneurysm) have no relationship to her current symptoms of extreme fatigue and shortness of breath or lack of appetite. Also, she reports feeling very dizzy when she gets up in the morning. Are these more like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? has anyone had success in treating a combination of these symptoms?
Sorry so long winded. I'm very worried about her and frustrated that no solution appears eminent.
