dawn Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 If a little fairy appeared to take away just one of your symptoms, which one would you pick? Just curious.I would have to say the anxiety.Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby_boy Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 chest Pain. Everything else i can cope with but chest pain freaks me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I would choose to get rid of tiredness .... it comes and goes now but when it hits me there is very little if nothing i can do to ease it. It means heavy muscles, foggy mind and huge frustration. I think the fairy has been helping over the past two years so i realise i should consider myself lucky to have some relief of the symptom since so many are not so fortunate.Second would be pain... i hate it when my whole body feels like its burning or my muscles are tight.

Jacquie802 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi, good post idea!! Of all the symptoms I would have to say that I would want to get rid of the near syncope. That affects my balance and affects me the most. Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurehope Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I would want to be able to sit and stand without feeling "sick". But, to tell you the truth, there are other symptoms which are disabling that I would like to be rid of, such as fatigue, so this one was difficult to answer.

Gena Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I would get rid of all the heart related symptoms (tachycardia, bradycardia and arrhythmias). That is what I have the most problems with. Well, and then there's those darn adrenaline rushes that I get sometimes. I would want those to go away too!

mom4cem Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have to ditto what Gena said, those darn tachycardia/arrhythmias! They scare me still. Please symptom fairy, take them away!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Great post. I would definitely get rid of the fatigue/lack of energy. I can live with the dizziness and tachycardia. They are scary and frustrating, but I can ususally make it thru by lying down and/or taking more beta blocker. But the fatigue prevents me from doing too much in any one day, or, if I do too much in one day, I can't do much for the rest of the week. A close second would be exercise intolerance. Right now I can't seem to handle cardio for too long - I wind up with a headache and nausea the next day. I have to stick to core strengthening exercises and pilates. Those have helped me a lot, but I can't build stamina the way I'd like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I would have my fairy correct whatever is causing both the extreme tachycardia and fatigue. Sorry...there is just no way I can pick and choose between these two because they are both so horrible and disabling to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracefulprincess Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 For me it's a tie between the near syncope and fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzygirl Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well I would like a fairy godmother!! tho grant me 3 wishes!!! LOL ..... as i cant quite pick just one!!1. syncope~~ adrenal surges---the fact that even though theysyncope) are fewer between.. when i do get them they are more severe in nature. and the surges are at times more then I can handle...2. my extreme fatigue.. I'd love to be able to walk down the street again.. geez.. I'd be happy If I could take a shower (standing of course) with out getting plum tuckered out3.my very high tachycardi-- ugh!sorry I got greed and stole a fairy godmother!! POOF be GONE!! as she waves her magic wand!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCsunshine Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 well i know that when i am completely nauseous and hanging over a bucket, i am thinking "if only i could get rid of this nausea, that's ALL i want, even a migraine would be better than this!" and then when i have a migraine and am packing my head in ice and tears are running down my cheeks because of the intense pain, I'm thinking "just let the migraine be gone, ANYthing is better than a migraine!"so... whatever i have at the time seems the WORST possible symptom.okay, but to answer your question fairly, i would say the blood pressure drops when i'm standing. i have only about 20-30 seconds of standing-still-time before things go black and i have to lay down before i crash down to the floor. so... i would get rid of that b/p dip --> syncope. it affects my daily life the most.

Conny Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Most of all I wish I could stop the syncopes and so the resulting injuries! Followed closely by the nausea and shortness of breath when exercising or just walking up stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwen Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 this is difficult since it seems to be a vicious circle. The extreme fatigue, fog, I thought would be better with medication for low bp/syncope. now good readings but still extreme fatigue, fog. one of those days were i'm just tired of the whole thing.

Guest Belinda Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I would get rid of the chest pains and tachycardia..I think they fall hand in hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wufflebear Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 ohhh Hard one...well I hate the nausea! But I also hate feeling sick when I stand up within a minute or two.... I guess I would go wiith the not feeling terrible when I stand up? BUt I better end my post or I will think of something else. (-; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcyaquatic Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 If I had to choose just one symptom it would have to be the fatigue. Someone else said it. I WANT TO SHOP without passing out in line. or swim laps without feeling completely wasted. a close second would be my syncope. JEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypso Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I know most of the rest of you can breathe normally, but I can't. So I'd like to be able to breathe again.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biatecki Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The tight/heavy chest pain..the only symptom that no medication has ever helped. I`m encouraged to see others choose this too.. sometimes it feels like I`m the only one who has such severe daily pain!!Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
