Weird Symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. Just wondering if anyone has experienced these

symptoms. I am still undiagnosed and have lots of questions.

Last Friday, I felt strange all day. I felt as if I were literally

going to fall in the floor all day long. Although I never did, it

felt very weird. I was not dizzy but more off-balance. Earlier in

the week, I was talking with my family. Suddenly, it felt like my

heart stopped (although I know it didn't). When that happened, I

couldn't say any more but began to cough. After coughing a minute, I

returned to " normal. " I have not had that problem again. Over the

weekend, my heart acted up quite a bit and I was pale and grayish at

various times.

I have had 4 echos (each one with different doctors). I wonder if my

orthostatic condition is acting up...I am not on any medication for

it but my pulse is not high as it normally does with orthostatic

condition. I've been researching tonight-trying to diagnose

myself - and saw many links to the orthostatic condition and

autoimmune conditions (RA, lupus, and fibromyalgia). Right now I am

not under a cardiologist care. With 4 echos, I know my heart is OK,

but it is always unsettling when it acts strange. My last echo (a

year ago) did not even show up the MVP which a previous one did. Who

knows? All of this gets so confusing. I was told today the

immunologist is trying to work me in March 31 but could be into mid-

April.

My hands have also been swelling some with a lot of joint pain in my

hands especially the small joints in my hand. They were red and hot

over the weekend. I'm worried that my pinky on my right hand is

crooked but think maybe it's just swollen. Swelling certainly

changes the look. Also, I've noticed my tremor a little more

pronounced.

Just wondering if anyone ever had the off-balance feeling. I'm

really looking forward to getting some answers. Just scared to death

he's going to say fibromyalgia (been on those meds before and don't

respond well). It's so strange to have perfect blood work and feel

so rough. Hope you all are better...looking forward to brighter days!

Thanks for letting me share!!!
