I'm a 34 year old female trying to find some answers. When I was in high school I began falling asleep in class daily. I played several sports and was a straight-A student so I attributed it to not getting enough sleep (even though I felt like I was well rested). It continued all through high school and by the time I was in college I was falling asleep anytime I sat down. I cheered in college and by my junior year had to quit as I no longer had the stamina to get through a competition routine. I was also in constant pain, both joints and muscles. A year after I graduated, the exhaustion began to be accompanied by dizzy spells and blacking out so I finally went to the doctor (I try to avoid dr's at all costs :)) and was diagnosed by a cardiologist with very slight tachycardia and arrhythmia. They suggested ablation, but instead I took the approach to try an inhaler since they also found my lungs were not functioning at full capacity. These symptoms persisted for several years along with severe brain fog, muscle weakness, dizziness, muscle and joint pains, irritability, tremors, etc. A few months after having my first child at 27, I decided to try the dr. again and this time they did a blood test to check my thyroid which came back ok so I ignored it for a few more years again. Fast forward to my third pregnancy, same symptoms but worsening to the point of passing out several times toward the end of the pregnancy. I would get so weak, all of my muscles would feel numb and then I would wake up on the floor. I was tested for narcolepsy, epilepsy, Meniere's Disease (because of the vertigo and dizziness), and Myasthenia Gravis, all which came back negative thankfully. My dr. now wants me to see an endocrinologist to check my adrenal functioning. I am so over dr's but at the same time hate feeling so miserable, especially after passing out three times in the past two weeks and never getting back to "normal" between episodes. When I feel this way, it's like my entire body feels numb (low BP?) and I fight to stay "here" and the next thing I know I'm on the ground surrounded by whomever happens to be around at the time. My last episode yesterday happened on an elevator in my office and I woke up to EMT's telling me I was having a seizure. It's definitely not epilepsy because I feel worse and worse until I finally pass out so I know it's coming on. It also is accompanied by vomiting or at least severe nausea (which is another daily norm for me). My question is could it be an adrenal gland disorder when it has gone on this long? Do people come out of these "episodes" and return to a somewhat normal baseline with no steroids? I do have pretty low blood sugar but again, I know that is not a diagnosis by itself and instead a symptom of something else. Sorry for the long post but I'd love to have some feedback before I go to yet another specialist. Thank you :)
