Avatar m tn I'm not surprised with the oral Lupus dx, but the official lupoid connective tissue connective disease seems to be in lieu of an official SLE (lupus) dx, which is much more copmlicated to establish! I hope you do not feel ...branded! Consider that your 2 conditions could be a manifestation of one and the same thing, or at least have the same underlying basis. It's not a necessarily a... medical sentence, even if conventional doctors only offer symptom management treatment.

1528067 tn?1295533982 Hi I am 36 yr old who is dx with Sjogren's Lupus, and Fibro. Blacked out several times before and after dx; blood pressure bottoms down. I know dizziness can come with Lupus "flare:", but was wondering if anyone else experiences this with auto-immune diseases to this level. It took several times landing on my tail before docs figured it out.Scary??
Avatar n tn heart rate changes not associated with position or activity, tingling, loss of ability to hold things, tired, mood swings, anxiety nausea Just turned 60 had been active walking,weights,shoveling,dancing, yoga Started with day of fainting upon being upright I blamed on low blood sugar or dehydration from not eating before going to bed without eating after an active day seeming without cause except for chronic stress from life changes I was tested September for RA, lupus, etc beca
881165 tn?1265984588 I have been super sick, so not on MedHelp in a while. My immune system is still on a rampage, which means the fainting keeps getting worse. I'm trying my second round of IV steroids tomorrow (?). Funny thing is, the first time around, my heart rate went down to normal. Anyway, I'm thinking of all of you; just don't have the energy to get on here every day and keep up. Take care!
Avatar f tn Is there a question? For a perspective: When excess fluid collects in the sac (pericardium) surrounding the heart, doctors refer to this as pericardial effusion. It may be caused by inflammation of the pericardium (pericarditits). Signs and symptoms of pericardial effusion may include: Fluid retention (edema) ...LOW BLOOD PRESSURE...
1384238 tn?1286028762 I have had high blood pressure for 15 yrs. Treated with 3 different meds (HCTZ, Avapro and Atenolol), suddenly, approximately 4 weeks ago I began getting dizzy spells quite frequently. My pressure during these spells is quite low, often 90/60 or a bit lower. The doc has done CT scan, no brain tumor, blood work, nothing remarkable, urinalysis, nada, she keeps throwing things like Lupus, Parkinson's, ALS at me and now I am terrified!
306455 tn?1288862071 For about 7 or 8 years, I have suffered from many symptoms. Some of them are fainting, all over body pain, swelling of hands, feet, knees, and face. Most days it is very hard for me to move at all. Other days I can move okay, but still not real well. I am constantly fatigued and can't sleep at night because I am hurting so bad. I am also having stomach problems. I vomit after most every meal and do not have regular BM. I am also having trouble with repeative UTIs.
Avatar m tn My 16yr old daughter has been having a lot swelling and pain in her ankles, fingers and wrists. There is a lot of arthritis and lupus in my family-and I think she may be getting one of those conditions...but her blood work has all been normal. Most evenings she also develops hives on her back and arms. I've taken her to ER, but we still don't know what's causing these ods symtoms.
9777394 tn?1468991122 Third, consider systemic lupus - including drug induced systemic lupus erythematosis, and polycythemia. Your symptoms list includes many of the symptoms of both these conditions.
Avatar f tn Could any of this be due to Chiari I. Should I insist that she be tested for this?
Avatar f tn Hi; I also had problems beginning with hives and progressing to episodes of fainting/trouble breathing/swelling/redness/stomach symptoms. An allergist diagnosed me with "idiopathic anaphylaxis" - it's where your body makes too much histamine, for some unknown reason, and you end up with an anaphalactic (sp?) attack. It doesn't sound like you necessaryily have an anaphalaxis but hives are a symptom of too much histamine also. Have this checked out.
7748835 tn?1393868668 Also, I do not believe it was a CBC that was performed. I remember my doctor saying RBC. And when they checked my blood this was months and months ago. Before any of this started bothering me. I've had one lymph node on my neck that's hard and the size of a nickel that's been present for months and then recently another appeared right beside basically touching the other. It is also hard and more firm. Then like I said the armpit one has changed drastically and is hard and fixed also.
Avatar f tn To answer you yes I have ms plus I have autonomic dysfuntion which causes fainting. Today I also received a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis along with possible lupus. I also have fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. It took years to get a final diagnosis of ms. I understand its frustrating. My advice is find a dr who will listen to you and work with you. Easier said than done I know.
Avatar f tn I have always been prone to fainting due to being anemic so easily.. When I got pregnant it got worse and I fainted more.. I started taking iron capsules and pre natals with iron..
Avatar f tn I had one the other day. Not sure if it will happen again. But i heard once uou faint it will happen again. When i fainted theyncalled 911.
10777943 tn?1412955415 I'm the same, I get terrible fainting spells during pregnancy. I know its not low blood pressure because I've had preeclamplsia through both pregnancies but interestingly my iron levels have been really low particularly this pregnancy. I had an iron infusion last week and haven't fainted since. Maybe get your iron checked?
Avatar f tn I had fainting spells in the shower every time with my first two. I was anemic too. the doctor had me taking iron supplements twice a day and that stopped it.
Avatar f tn I had horrible timing with my fainting spells last pregnancy. I was always really sick with morning sickness and once I passed out while on the stairs and fell down half of them. Woke up at the bottom of the stairs so confused. It's an unfortunate thing but also a bit normal. The amount of blood in your body is increasing and that is usually what causes it. If it happens a lot you should definitely go in and get some blood work done.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm 23 weeks with my second baby and besides dizziness I had two episodes of sweating and actually to the point of fainting.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else experinced a fainting/passing out moment? Definitely not from low blood sugar.
