Palpitations
Posted , 5 users are following.
The reason I went to the Doctor's this time with my problems ( I've been lots of times over 20 years and suspected Fibro for 7 of those years ), was because I had begun to get regular palpitations, and hot flushes, even though I'm 5 years post menopause. He prescribed Propranalol Beta Blockers, which have helped the problem a lot, and when he asked about other symptoms, I gave him the full list - joint/muscle aches and pains, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bad sleeping patterns, etc.etc.etc., then he wrote a referral for MSK, ordered a huge batch of blood tests, and sent me home. I attended my appointment last month with MSK, who diagnosed Fibro immediately after checking blood results and reading my list of symptoms. Does anyone else suffer from palpitations ? I know my Sister does, and she was recently diagnosed with Fibro too.

Gizmo - thanks for your reply, when I was having tests, my cholesterol was a little high - 5.9 - but my BP was fine, and now I take Propranalol, it's quite low ( 119/65 ) and my pulse is around 55 when I'm resting. The more I hear about Fibro, though, the more I feel there is some sort of vitamin/mineral deficiency that causes it to be so bad. I just cannot understand why more research isn't going into this problem when 1 in 25 people suffer from it. You'd think they'd know more about it by now??
