  1. I have been very conscious of upping my water intake and I definitely feel like it has made some improvement in the dizziness. I havent had a chance to check bp but I did check hr and it registered as normal. I plan on checking again and checking bp before seeing my gp at the end of the month. I go in for bloods tomorrow so maybe there will be some answers in those results. what exactly is a poor mans tilt table test? That's insane that it took so long, that must have been awful I don't think I've ever noticed being overly flexible. Ive never actually done anything to test it though haha.
  2. Hi I'm a 28 year old female and I've always had minor symptoms, just annoying and I thought they were all normal things. I've had anxiety most my life, heart palpitations since mid teens. Ill skip to when I started to really notice something was off. I gave birth to my second son in march 2017 and had what I assumed was really bad postpartum depression, except my fatigue hasn't lifted. In may of this year I decided to ask my doctor and she took my blood, which came back normal. I thought maybe it was my thyroid because I was constantly hot and sweating. I have to keep my house cold most of the time because as soon as I get hot I sweat, feel nauseated, and irritated. A few return visits for fatigue and various sinus infections later I go back for a visit because I began randomly experiencing dizziness at work. It happened to coincide with a cold, so it was dismissed at the time. She did a short positional test to see if it was some kind of vertigo condition( it has a very long name that I can't remember lol) and it came out fine. However, tired of feeling worn out and miserable, I was determined to have something done. My pulse was 100 as I was sitting there, not concerning at all, But My doctor ordered a holter monitor for 48 hrs. My results were normal of course. I made another appointment (for the end of this month) and in just going to unload all my symptoms on her and not worry about looking like a hypochondriac. At present time I still experience dizziness. I've been dealing with brain fog, fatigue, a tmj flare up, and lots of pain in my shoulders and back. I've also been dealing with weakness in my shoulders, arms, and wrists I think. I was going through shirts at the store yesterday and couldn't hardly hold my arms up and out to look through them. After I put them down I felt lightheaded and nauseated, almost kinda panicky except it was only the physical aspect of panic, not the mental/emotional. I have no idea what is really happening. I mean i only found out recently that what I thought was just normal stuff is actually not normal. Thanks for reading this long post. We will see how everything goes from here, I guess!
