Hello Everyone, My name is toni and I'm a 26 year old female from Saskatchewan, Canada. 4 weeks ago my whole life changed for the worst. I was at work when I had this "attack" - my hands & feet went freezing cold, i felt like I couldn't breathe, and my heart was going crazy. I went to the ER and they admitted me overnight releasing me the next day with the simple diagnosis of sinus tachycardia possibly caused by the greens plus supplement i drink. The cardiologist was a totally jerk not answering any questions and wanting to rush me out. I thought okay, maybe this is a one time thing. i thought wrong! since then I have never felt the same again. these are the following symptoms that I have everyday since then: - chest pain so bad that it feels like i'm being stabbed in the heart with a knife (it gets so bad that i've gone to the ER 5 times, calling the ambulance once) - laboured breathing (sometimes i actually have to think about breathing, it doesn't happen automatically) -sinus tachycardia (the lowest my heart has gone done since that day is 92 resting) -loss of appetite -shakiness -numbness (sometimes my arms, my feet, my head) -head twitching (twitching of arms, legs) -when i'm sleeping i feel like i stop breathing. -white floaters in my eye -my heart pounds so loud that it feels like its right beside my ear -sometimes feels like my heart is in my back when i'm on the couch watching tv -i have this constant acid in my throat! acid reflux? it's awful. -upon waking up in the morning my heart goes crazy fast and i'm not even out of bed yet! like i said above i've been to the ER 5 times and they just run the same 3 tests: -chest xray -ecg -blood work and they all come out okay except the ecg shows sinus tachycardia. my family doctor put me back on effexor 75mg to help me cope. i kinda think that he thinks its all in my head! i emailed all the canadian doctors listed on this website and explained my situation, the only one that emailed back was Dr. Carlos Morillo who concentrates on pots syndrome - he said that he would like to see me this year, all i need is a referral from my family doctor. should i ask my family doctor to refer me to Dr. Morillo? the only thing is that i don't think i have pots because when i stand up, i'm not dizzy and my blood pressure doesn't drop. i do think that i have a dysutonomia of some kind but i don't think pots..is there a point getting a referral to Dr. Morillo then? he is a 4 hour plane ride from me. i'm at a total complete loss. i can't live like this! i'm at the brink of losing my job, my husband, my family. brief history of me: -saline implants 6 years ago -cfs/fibromylgia after implants -placed on effexor for 5 years - doctor took me off last august. i understand that you can't tell me what i have, but maybe does it sound like something: ie. mvp syndrome, look forward to hearing from you, toni
