Hi Everyone!
I know it's been too long since I've been on here. I've been doing better. My ankle brachial index test came back normal and the pain in my legs has disappeared. Go figure.
Now I have another problem. For the last few weeks I've been feeling lightheaded off and on throughout the day. The first day this happened I actually had the room spinning and had to lay down. It went away after about
5 minutes and then I just felt bad afterwards. Since then I've had periods off and on throughout the day where I feel lightheaded. The room doesn't spin but I feel like it's on the verge of spinning. It's and odd feeling. I've checked my blood pressurewhile i've felt this way and it's never low. Last time it was 117/73. I've also still got the shortness of breath issue. I've noticed that they seem to coincide. I feel like I can't get a deep breathe of air and when I try to breath in deeply I'll get to a certain point and then it feels like the muscles in my chest tighten and won't let me get anymore air in.
I'm going to call my doctor and make an appointment again. I was there about
a month ago with the shortness of breath and leg pain issue. She did blood work to check my thyroid, iron levels, and a complete blood count. All of it came back normal. And I had an EKG while in the office which was normal as well. She seems as stumped as I am at this point. I believe at this point the shortness of breath is related to anxiety which I'm still working to get under complete control. Does anyone else get this funky lightheaded feeling along with the shortness of breath? I'm not taking any meds except for my prenatal vitamin, which I've been taking for about
a year now so I doubt that's the cause.
