  1. I too have the unexplained weakness and when it happens it's around the same time periods. In the afternoon around 3:00 and around 3:00 in the morning. I feel like I'm coming down with a virus or something and feel weak and sweaty and miserable. Mostly when I have over done things or during my time of the month. I have had low cortisol levels in my tests also. Even when I have this in the middle of the night I wake up in the morning expecting to feel sick and I'm fine. It's very strange. I've wondered if it is like a low blood sugar thing. Tracy
  2. I live in Petersburg but work in Springfield. Tracy
  3. This happens to me all the time. And more so around my cycle. The metroplol seems to help it. It actually kept happening to me last night every time I stretched. And woke up today with chest pains like on the breast bone. I'm nearing the end of my cycle. It also makes me more tired the next day. Tracy
  4. This is very interesting. I am short 5'1" and small boned. I was always very thin and under weight (according to them) ranging from 80-95 pounds my whole life. After My 4th child, a divorce from my alcoholic husband, a pregnant teenage daughter ( so 5 mouths to feed by myself with no help because my ex wouldn't get a job because he was in and out of treatment). They put me on fluoxitine and I gained 30 pounds in about 6 months. I was like a new person. When I was thin I never felt good physically. I always felt the best when I was pregnant and had more weight on. My friends and family kept saying I was getting fat and I needed to lose weight. I tried to diet and exercise but felt sick all the time and weak. I quit taking the medicine and the weight just added on instead of leaving. I can lose a few pounds then gain it back quick. I finely figured out that I feel better physically when I am heavier. Although not mentally. I was a size 2 now I'm a size 8-10 in a matter of 3 years. Makes a big difference mentally when you are used to looking a certain way. So now at 41 I'm 5'1" AND weigh 133. Tracy
  5. I feel very clostrophobic when having my bp taken like I can't get out.] I too tend to hold my breath like i'm scared. And it does hurt. My family and the docs thought I was crazy. So good to know that there are more like me. Maybe I'm not so crazy. Tracy
  6. Hi I'm new to the forum. The night tachy is where mine all started and I knew something was wrong. It started in 07 one night out of the blue woke up out of a dead sleep at my haert racing and pounding out of my chest. My husband was able to calm me down by rubbing my back and my breathing through it like labor. It would only happen around my period for awhile then increased to 3 weeks outta the month. If I had 1 I new I would have them every night for the next few weeks. They would hit as I rolled over or changed position. I felt terrible and wiped out the next day. My doctors said it was anxiety and gave me prozak. It made me gain 30 pounds and I was a zombie so I quit taking it. People thought I was crazy."You can't feel that bad you don't look sick. Just forget about it and quit thinking about it. You're getting youself all worked up and doing it to yourself" I got so tired of hearing it. My worst episode happened in Jan. We were out of town in a hotel and had eatin a large steak dinner. Thought I was gonna die. Went a cardiologist and they put me on a holter monitor. It registered that my resting rate was about 119 and would shoot up to 136 upon standing and to 153 when rolling over in bed. I have been taking metroplol for 4 weeks and feel 75% better. It works to me like ibuprofin. The tachy is still there sometimes at night but muffled in feeling. The way ibuprofin works on a headache sometimes it doen't go completely away but is not as strong as without it. Tracy
