Thanks so much for all the replies. I went back to the doctor today. He did order another test....which may address one of the issues. He says that he can't feel a good pulse in my foot or ankle on either side.....indicating possible blockage? I don't think he really got past that issue to deal with the other ones. I will just have to wait until this test is done and duly reported. Again, thanks to all that responded. AJC

Hi, I'm new to the board. I was wondering if anyone could help me.....I am just tired of feeling bad. I am 44 years old. I am a fairly well controlled type2 diabetic, I have had every heart test known to man (i suppose), but, I have constant problems with rapid heartrate, especially after meals.... as high as 165, lasting for 4-5 hours. My blood pressure tends to run lower than normal 98/58 or so, i am overweight, my total cholesterol is 99. I have hotflashes, nightsweats and osteoporosis (complete hysterectomy/ovaries removed in 89) Shouldn't the symptoms of menopause be gone by now? Now the newest problem....strange as it is...when I exercise....or just play around with the kids, the back of my head hurts. After walkin a short distance, my calves hurt, crampy like pain. Hypochodria? Any input would be helpful. Thanks, AJCgranny
