  1. Congratulations! (And the baby is BEAUTIFUL!!)
  2. I would be willing to be that it is related to dysautonomia. I have been on multiple websites (searching for answers to my own symptoms) and Insomnia seems to be a recurring symptom on all the lists. I'd ask my doctor, perhaps they can tell you?
  3. Thanks everybody - at least I know it's normal for things to get randomly worse and better. If it persists I will definatley go see a doctor. Thanks No meds. When I was first diagnosed with MVP they gave me a beta-blocker - BAD IDEA! Yes, it diminished the symptoms - but one of the side effects was depression, and out of all the nicer side effects like "drowiness" and "slight tingling sensation" I got the worst one...DEPRESSION! It was terrible, and I began to feel better after being taken off of the beta-blocker. A couple of months ago I was on Paxil, but got taken off of that because of excessive weight gain. (Side effects SUCK don't they??) ANyhow, now I am on no medications at all. You think perhaps this is why I'm having such a hard time with my symptoms? You're right, the first day I had this worsened symptom I think I definatley hyperventilated myself. As far as anxiety goes, the only reason I think it isn't, is because I'll be sitting down, resting, calm, with nothing on my mind, and suddenly I can't breathe. UGH! Yeah, the virus thing could very well be it. My nose is a little stuffy, so my mom seems to think I have a slight chest cold - and according to one website I visited, the symptoms can worsen if you have a cold.
  4. I've been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse, and have had symptoms of Dysautonomia for about 2 years. It's been pretty steady - I drink some caffeine and feel a little funny in the chest and can't breathe...but this normally goes away within an hour and I feel fine. The other day however, I was sitting completley still, and suddenly I couldn't breathe! My chest was very tight and my breathing very shallow. Then, all of my limbs started tingling. I was scared, so I guess that's why I started trembling also. I related this outburst to sugar, since I had had a large glass of tea. The problem is, this has now been going on solid for days. Very rarely am I breathing normally. My Chest almost constantly hurts now, and my shallow breathing has gotten worse. I have purposley stayed away from sugar and caffeine for this reason, thinking that perhaps I've gotten more sensitive to it and this is the cause. Unfortunatley, even though I am taking in NO caffeine or sugar, I still can't breathe!! Is it normal for the symptoms to randomly worsen for no apparent reason? This was all so sudden, so it has me quite freaked out :|
