The problem is I am suffering breathlessness, pains in the rightside of my chest and shoulders and upper neck area, dizziness on exertion and when fresh air hits me when walking etc. The symptoms I am experiencing is almost like angina I think although not sure what angina should feel like.
These symptoms can also come on for no reason.
I am wondering could I have borderline pulmonary hypertension and is there such a thing.
I would welcome anyones advice please?
(My uterus was attached to my abdominal wall and endometriosis and my tube was twisted and attached to itself with adhesions causing alot of pain) Lately I have been having what I think is hot flashes and just general weakness and lightheadedness and frequent urination at times. My head just feels dizzy and the hot flashes mainly affect the top of my body face chest and arms. Also, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I have had excessive mouth watering...
I feel nauseous most of the time and specially after eating. I become very fatigued and find it hard to concentrate and hard to stay awake. I thought that maybe I was dehydrated and began drinking an excess amount of water (four to five 24 oz bottles of water per day) but not feeling any better. Not sure if you have any ideas of what it could be. I have now for the last two days been getting a sever headache in the mid afternoon with no relief from Tylenol or ibuprofen.
t have any hair loss (other than normal moulting) and no swelling anywhere. She was x-rayed before treatment began and I was told that she didn't have cancer. She was spayed shortly after her first season as she is a rescue dog and we didn't want to breed from her although she is a pedigree dog.
I will discuss her treatment in light of what you have said with the vet when he sees her later this month for her routine blood checks for her thyroid.
I feel scared for my safety if i am alone, and tend to get paranoid that someone is out to get me and kill me. I have been diagnosed with hypertension. They say my hypertension, is not linked to the way i feel. At times i just feel like everything gets too much, too much going on at once, and would rather not live. Please, i need to know what is wrong with me, ive tried changing my diet and lifestyle, but it seems to make it worse.
With a truly sudden elevation, I would be looking for something else in my life that changed around the same time or right before my blood pressure went up. If you are female, estrogen replacement therapy can make your blood pressure go up; estrogen acts like a salt. Which brings us to dietary changes, are you suddenly getting a lot more salt in your diet. Also, some herbs, like licorice, can trigger a rise in blood pressure. Stress, anxiety, or physical pain can do the same thing.
I remember that prior to starting treatment in Sept 09, I read somewhere that being post menopause would be a negative strike against me but I still opted to NOT take estrogen. I have been in surgical menopause since 1996, I took estrogen for 10 years and then quit because of the increased chance of breast cancer after taking estrogen so many years. I finished treatment (without taking estrogen since 2006) and I achieved SVR.
I went through a serious bout of stress from my job a couple of years ago and ended up leaving.
My hair thinned, I started getting fat round my waste and on my chest giving me the dreaded man boobs look. The stress and lack of sleep got so bad at times that I often forgot what day it was and could not sleep or stop my hands from shaking.
Now the problem remains and I can't get rid of it. My DHEA is fine and so is my testosterone.
three months ago I had Pnemonia and even with using bi -est, I am having hot flashes and night sweats which has never happened to me on a constant basis. My husband thinks the pnemunia/fever rearranged my hormones and it will take awhile for them to settle down. I am 57 and was pretty stable on the bi-est. has this ever happened to anyone else?? Thx!
I am new to this forum, and new to the world of menopause. I recently had my last ovary removed due to cysts and endometreosis. I did not want to go through menopause or life with no estrogen at age 35, so I opted for the estrogen hormone therapy.
I chose to go with the Estradiol patches. I think that it regulates the estrogen more efficiently and you can't forget to take a pill!
Let me give you my two cents on your issues...know that I am not a dr., but am going through this myself.
