I am 34yrs old about 7yrs ago I was diagnosed with Vasovagal syncope . It took them 2yrs to figure out what was wrong. My BP is very very low and so I have to take medication to keep it up. I was on Midodrine and beta blocker but my bp was still up and down. About a yr ago my Cardiologist put me on Florinef. It works so much better.
In Sept 2009 I started having chest pains(only on the left side) off and on for about three weeks they would only last a few seconds and not everyday. Helped when I would stop taking a breath, felt like something was sticking in my chest. Then one morning I started having the chest pains but they came and went and lasted longer for about 5 hrs. I went to the ER after calling my dr the next day. When I went they said my Potassium was so low that it was only two points away from being in the hospital. Plus I had another positive ANA. Well now it is May and about two weeks ago the chest pains started again (Only left side) but they feel different. Sharp pain but different like stabbing pain. So I went to the dr they tested blood for EVERYTHING. Insulin, hormones, ANA, potassium, I don’t even know what all. Everything checked out fine. I saw my Cardiologist today, she doesn't think it is cardio because of my age and health. She said she would run a blood test for blood clots and a stress test. If all check out ok then sounds like she will stop looking for anything. Could this be the Syncope? I feel like most Dr's do not know much about the syncope and it is trial and error. I have a lot of different symptoms and I keep telling them some day they will find they were all caused by one thing.
Symptoms: Chronic hacking cough-worse at night, last 5 yrs get upper respiratory infections VERY easy and often, Extreme fatigue, Off and on I will have a lot of hair loss and Cold all the time.
Is all this normal and related to the syncope?
I just need some answers I feel like a guinea pig as far as trying to find out what is causing all my symptoms. They tried acid reflux, tried allergy meds, narcolepsy meds, diet pills to help with fatigue (Made me EXTREMELY tried could not even walk up 5 steps), tried 400mg No Doze for fatigue (made me more tired).
HELP!!
