Body weakness, shakyness, palpitations and chronic headaches
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi everyone!
Been having some crazy debilitating symptoms for almost 3 months. In and out of the ER. Lots of doctor visits, blood tests, 1 head ct scan and 1 brain MRI. Everything came out normal. I cant shake this off. I have been having body weakness where my arms and legs feel heavy. Muscle twiches a few times in the thigh. Shaky hands when I'm holding something. Feeling off balance when standing with a pounding heart. Head pressure which they tell me is a headaches. Seen some red objects which they say is related to the headache. I don't know what's going on with me. Everything started at the end of Dec. 2017. They say it's aniexty...but I cant shake these symptoms. Ive seen a cardiologist. He said my heart beat was all over the place. Did a 48 heart monitor and an echogram. I don't see him till the end of the month. I dont know why but the muscle weakness bothers me the most. Any advice or home remedies would be great. Thank you.

Hi Ashley, you don't give much information as to your age and whether you have ever had any form of anxiety in your past, what you describe can quite easily be caused by anxiety and with all your previous tests coming back normal that's a good sign, you could ring your cardiologist and ask for a cancellation appointment explaining that your high-levels of worry are causing you more anxiousness.
I can say that all your symptoms are really common with GAD and Panic Disorder.
Have you been prescribed anything to help you deal with the issues like a beta blocker

I'm 32 years old. I have had anixety before. It would usually last maybe half an hour or less then I would be back to normal. Was prescribed Zoloft. It made me black out with other bad symptoms. I'm not taking anything now. My cardiologist said my heart rate was not normal and that I will probably be on pills after he reviews my testing. He wanted to know all of my symptoms. I told him and he gave an answer to all of them. Body weakness- he said I was too young to have arthritis. Head pressure- migraines. Tremors- he said there not that bad...

Yes, I've had a few blood tests. They did testing in the er for thyroid problems thinking that was causing my palpitations. Plus my Regular Dr did testing. She did the TSH and T4. The TSH was normal but the T4 for high.

I’ve been going through similar things as well and I’ve also tried Zoloft which I have weaned off. Klonopin helped me with the anxiety a lot and probably saved me from getting worse. Zoloft can also cause muscle twitching as well and if you already had them they would just create more. I recently had sinus surgery where I’ve had problems for many years in hopes that it will Improve my sleep and also fix the anxiety. I’ve also been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. I’m also considering a lumbar puncture to rule out other illnesses as well. All tests for me are coming back ok. But I’m still searching for answers. I’ll keep you informed on how I’m doing.
