I have unexplained symptoms, please help!
Posted , 4 users are following.
My obvious health conditions :
Chronic cough
Left chronically swollen tonsil thats been swollen my whole life
So my symptoms are :
Getting up in the morning i feel out of balance, pressure on top of head, "numb" feeling in stomach, left side of tongue is dry, weakness in hands and legs. After eating breakfast, symptoms get worse; shallow breathing and feels like heart beat is shallow too if you know what i mean, pressure on top and sides of head, left arm gets weak and get cold electrical sensations like if i sat on my hand (but not that intense) and gets a bit cold, if i jog in place or lift something up my breathing is still shallow and heart beat doesnt seem to increase, when i stop those things i feel more pressure on the head and my body feels really light to the point i cant properly walk its like im floating, a bit later i start feeling uncomfortable pressure/pain behind my left rib and then i need to go poop and poop is always soft or almost diarrhea. Later on the day these symptoms subside but i get new once; head pressure, feeling heated but hands and feet cold and sweaty, weakness, sometimes shakiness, weakness gets worse when cough is more dry and im out of breath. These symptoms including heart palpitations seem to be at the same time as when i have breathing and cough problem. Im using inhalers but that works for a little bit. I had a lot of different tests done including lung function and stress test. I think symptoms get worse when its warm outside

Get a d-dimer blood test it gives an indication whether or not you may have a pulmonary embolism or emboli. Some of your symptoms sound very similar to what I had before I was diagnosed.

I had the pulmonary breathing test, i dont know if that shows if you have a clot or not

You need either a CT scan with contrast or a VQ test to confirm whether or not you have a PE or PEs, but a d-dimer blood test is a good indicator. I used to get a freezing cold sensation so much so my teeth would chatter, I would also get huge hot flashes and sweating, I would get tingling pins and needles in my hands, I would often get cramp in my leg, I struggled to get a deep breath, I would get very sharp pains when I tried, I had a dry cough, I would get electric shock feelings in my chest, intense palpitations like my heart was beating out of my chest and not being able to catch my breath at the same time. I just felt so unpleasant and ill and terrified there was something wrong. I also felt very tired, it definitely affected my bowels too. Please speak to your doctor about this possibility because it is often overlooked.

Hi my suggestion is try a different doctor. They might have different ideas. All the best

I changed several doctors already, they all keep saying "you dont need the test if we dont see the same symptoms as a certain condition", they all go by the book

Do you mind me asking are you or have you been on any medication that affects your hormones and could you tell me if are you over 40? Also do you live in the UK?
Have you been to A&E when you experience your symptoms?

Hi!
I have the same exact symptoms as yours! Although mine began after a bout with the flu.
Roommates and I all got the flu. I thought I recovered although a few weeks later, I started getting vertigo, ear fullness and crackling.
Went to the doctor who described it as inner ear infection.
But since then, Ive been feeling fatigued, lightheaded and almost like a belt is wrapped around mg head.
It feels like I have low blood sugar even when I dont. And I cant stand for too long without feeling fatigued.
I was just going to the gym and playing basketball in early January. And now I have these same symptoms.
Supposedly its an inner ear infection but my body feels like its something more?
Maybe we are in the same boat here

Yes i feel like i have low blood sugar/blood pressure and i actually check both while i feel like that and they are normal, its freaking me out, if i stand for too long i start getting weird sensations on skin, feeling cold in the chest and light headed with vision changes
