Hi! I have been having some unexplained medical problems for the past 1 - 1/2 years. It started with sharp quick pains in the head, sometimes feeling like my head was in a vice. I would sometimes see white spots or even a whole bunch of colors, & then everything would go black. This would all happen within a 5 minute time span & then be gone. I was extremely tired all the time also. My doctor tested my thyroid, for anemia, and had an MRI of the head done. Everything came back negative & they ruled it out as stress (which at the time I was under a lot of). Now, starting this past February I've started having these fainting spells. I start to feel very off balance, weak, sometimes the sharp head pains accompany this, & then I faint/pass out. Once I come around a little the heart palpitations start. I was diagnosed 6 0r 7 years ago with a Mitral Valve Prolapse (minor). Have never had any real problems with it. My doctor since has tested me for diabetes, hypoglycemia, again for thyroid problems. All my blood work looks great they keep telling me. I have passed out 5 times since February, and the last 4 have been almost a month apart from each other (this last time just happened last night while sitting at dinner with a couple friends). I am scheduled for an echocardiogram today, a tilt table test next week, & then a trip to the Neurologist in a few weeks.
Although it's great hearing that "nothing" is wrong. It's starting to scare me a little, because this can't be normal.
Any suggestions, input advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
