Just a note on this subject. I have MS and there is a syndrome called the MS HUG which fits your symptoms exactly. Not saying you have this, but I'm pretty sure that this experience can be caused by...
Does anyone ever experience an increase in heart rate (not shortness of breath) just by walking around a little? This happens once in awhile after I've just walked out to the back yard. By the time I...
This might get complicated but I'll try to keep it simple. For years I've thought and been told that my anxiety was causing me to have White Coat Syndrome and random increases in blood pressure. Now...
I hate to tell you this but I cough every day, all week, all months, all years... all the time. And it's always chalked up to allergies. I used to take shots, but they never helped. So now I just...
Thank you. I had forgotten about this question. By the way... what is a UC?...
Has anyone ever had terrible chest pains first thing in the morning? I had this one day last week and thought I was having a heart attack. Actually it was a sharp pain in the upper left chest that...
I have chronic Gastritis and had a small bowel resection back in 2008. My anxiety level soared ever since then! I've been told that people with MS have a high incidence of gastric problems and I know...
Hallelujah.... I took a whole Unisom last night and slept all night! I fell asleep on the couch again, watching tv. Missed most of the show. Woke up almost disoriented. Guess I was surprised I was...
Thank you all so much for the suggestions. This whole week has been torture. I've tried everything without much success. Last night was a total wash out... no sleep at all. I suspect my MS has...
I'm sure some of you suffer with insomnia. I'm wondering if you ever have a racing mind at bedtime that prevents you from falling asleep at all?? I've had some nights that are totally sleepless...
Thanks so much. I meant to say that I do NOT actually pass out. Never have. I've asked my neuro about POTS. He just blows it off. What is EMDR?...
Can anxiety cause a sudden feeling of faintness with actually passing out? This has happened a few times in the last year. I was under an extreme amount of stress, taking care of and losing my sick...
I was dx in 2001 with a MRI of my brain only. I had symptoms for years before the diagnosis. Now.. 18 years later my neuro is saying "hmmm.. maybe this was never MS in the first place". The MRI's...
I was having this exact same reaction years ago. I'd end up in the fetal position for about an hour after shooting up. I was finally taken off Copaxone (after years of using it) and have not gotten...
I was hyperthyroid with Graves years ago. Had radioactive ablation to kill the little guy. I am taking a small dose of Synthroid. My question is purely informational. Is it possible to still have a...
Thank you so much. I tested first thing this morning, before even getting out of bed. 93 score. We got our first snow yesterday. It's down in the teens with a wind chill of 4 degrees. But I don't...
So after all this do you think I have Diabetes? I really don't think so, but I do have a bunch of other problems gumming up the works. I will see my primary about this and get things checked. Sorry...
By the way... what is the 2 hour delay between eating and testing all about? Does it take 2 hours to digest food?...
hallelujah.... 115! Now I can go eat something. Earlier I had peanut butter on bread and tea with honey. My meter registers the readings....
Thanks again. I am about 100 lbs, 68 years old. The MS does bring on constant dizziness and fatigue. So my neuro has been watching this for years. But, sometimes I just want to dig around and find an...
Thanks for the reply. I don't think there are any family members with Diabetes. Not sure, but don't think so. I have been under enormous stress for a couple years. My husband passed away in June this...
Forgive me.. I'm a little worried. I have MS, Graves disease and several other health issues. I've been dizzy for a very, very long time. Totally exhausted all the time. Not sleeping well. I decided...
I hope I am not duplicating this post. I got almost fnished and lost it. I recently watched my husband of 45 years suffer and die a fairly quick death from heart failure. I just saw a commercial on...
I am a new widow and am having a terrible time with daily meltdowns. Sobbing, crying like I've never cried before, memories popping up, questions... all the time... questions. The only meds I have on...
I wonder if anyone here gets symptoms that mimic heart attack/disease? I've been waking up in the early hours with chest pain, pain in my arms and back and lots and lots of gas. Since nothing comes...
I have a very bad case of White Coat Syndrome. All my doctors know it and expect my blood pressure to be high when I go to see them. There's nothing I can do about it. I did find that if I have an...
They thought my eleven year old grandson had tonsil trouble but when they examined him they said it was probably GERD. They sent a scope down his nose and found a sore spot on his esophagus where the...
Has anyone tried using any Essential Oils for their heart failure/AFIB? I've read some good things about Ylang Ylang, but am a little bit afraid to start this on my husband. I know so little about...
I am the first to admit I have high anxiety. I have MS and many other autoimmune diseases. My husband is extremely sick and I can't deal with being his caregiver. I will do whatever I can for him,...
I've been having the same thing lately. I have a UTI right now that is like none I've ever had before. Really kicking me around. And the bloating is terrible. I just go around tooting all the time....
Thank you for your post. I was just trying to put my question into words, but you did it for me. I've had constipation for years and all of a sudden things switched and I've got the loose stools and...
Thanks so much. I guess different doctors call these things by different names. It's all the same to me. I have been a caregiver to my very sick husband and he never fails to scare me almost every...
I've been reading the symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety attacks. They seem to be the same to me. And they are the symptoms that I get frequently. So which is it... panic or anxiety? It really...
I agree. Also, I have Costochondritis often and it feels like a heart attack. But the GERD thing is very typical of this kind of pain. And sometimes you don't have heartburn. My husband gets a lot of...
I get burning mouth every other month. I have MS which is supposedly the cause. I also have a mild case of trigeminal neuralgia. The only think I've found that helps is Gabapentin, but I hate taking...
I never thought about him hitting a blood vessel. I can see how that might cause this. I've done that with my MS shots. He is a very sick man. Just got out of the hospital last Sunday... second time...
I've never posted here before. This is concerning my 72 yr old husband. Long time Diabetic. Last night he tested around 9 pm. Blood sugar was at 225. He used a brand new vial of Lantus and gave...
Sorry.. this is not me. I don't see depression in myself by your answers. Fatigue... yes. But, I have MS and have been exhausted for years. I just wish I could get the doctors to take that...
It bothers me that all my doctors list "depression" as one of my illnesses. I don't feel depressed. I am terribly anxious. I have MS, Graves Disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Gastritis, IBS and some...
I have been dx since 2001. And yes, I have sharp pains in my head all the time. My neuro told me a lot of patients have this. My MRI's don't show anything except the usual lesions. No masses etc. But...
I'd like to add something here. I talked with one of my MS doctors last night. This woman is great. She is my age and has MS herself. She totally understands the nervous system. We talked about the...
I don't have TMJ but I do grind my teeth (mostly at night). My dentist made me a partial mouth guard, just for the front teeth. I tried the things you can buy over the counter.. big waste. Ask your...
I am nowhere near Florida, but the news reports have been destroying my calm for a week now. All the crazy weather going on worries me and brings up the anxiety attacks. Actually, ALL the news is...
I have some similar symptoms to yours but not exactly. I had a small bowel resection in 2008 and have not been the same (normal) since. I have chronic constipation but deal with it in any way I find...
I've been having sharp pain in one wrist for a long time now. Getting more frequent and the pain is worse. I'm kind of tired of running to the Rheumy doc for everything. Is there any hope for this...
When I was 7 years old and taking first communion I choked on the wafer. And I was never able to swallow pills of any kind until after I was married. Even now I still gag on some of them. One of my...
I had a small bowel obstruction and surgery in 2008. My surgeon told me there was a 7% chance of having another one. So far I have not, but I sure watch myself and I always live in fear of it...
Have you been checked for gastritis? I lost down to 82 pounds, had an scope and they found chronic gastritis....
Oh yes. I am so glad you posted this question. I get a lot of chest pains that seem to be gas pains. Also get this when I am constipated. I can feel the gas pains all the way at the top of my chest....
I have a terrible time with my blood pressure with each and every doctor visit, e/r trip, dentist appointment etc etc. I even get stressed taking the dogs to the VET. I keep reading that before...
