I just need some opinions

Question

Hey everyone:

This is going to be long.Sorry in advance, but I need to figure out what path to take. Basically, there is something wrong with me and it has been progressing for 4 years. I am 33 w 3 babies.

In 2015, I gave birth to my last child and everything went smoothly. A couple of things arise a few months after giving birth. One thing it took months to start my period (with my previous children, it came between 6-8weeks) I didn’t start my for 5/6 months. My hair was falling out for a longer amount of time then before(1year versus 6months in prior pregnancies). I guess I just thought my hormones were taking a bit of time to balance. My periods have never returned to the steady 27 day cycle with 4 days of activity. They came between 24-31 days and lasted sometimes 10 days.

Fast forward to 2016 and I start feeling lightheaded and kind of out of it at times. I felt like I wasn’t in reality, it was weird and I would feel like I was going to pass out. My mom suggested I take my blood pressure and at times it would be high like 130/90 but then it would go as low as 108/60. It just was not and is still not stable. 

2017 I was still experiencing all of the above but new symptoms came into play. I had vagina dryness, continuing of super heavy painful periods and hot flashes around my cycle. They tested my tsh and t4 and it was normal. Also, I had experienced numbness and tingling. So again, I left my doctors office with no hope. I saw an endocrinologist who told me it’s PMS. Ugh

Now, 2018 has been the most active, terrible year yet and I just don’t know where or what I should do. It all started in June- I had such a terrible UTI and I was bleeding from the pain. A week later I started having floaters in my eyes and I was experiencing muscle/joint pain. I was pregnant but loosing the pregnancy(my 7th miscarriage in a row btw) so I was seeing my obgyn. I miscarried in July. I was hoping that would help how I had been feeling for that month but no. In August, I had a period that lasted until November. My dr tried everything and he finally did an ultrasound which showed I had dilated blood vessels of my uterus and one enlarged ovary. My dr stated I could have a hysterectomy or an ablation, which both scared me. So I waited and debated until the pain (which was now 3 weeks out of a month with super irregular periods) was so unbearable. I ended up getting an ablation and a few days later (I was fine until then) I started having high blood pressure which turned into a full panic attack and I’ve never had one. 

Here are a few more tidbits:

- In July my blood pressure jumped like that and I ended up in the hospital with a bp of 160/102. My blood pressure before the panic attack tonight was a steady 140/96. The highest it reached tonight was 158/104.

- Also, my thyroid was tested on 10/10 In my gps office it was tsh was 1.24 and T4 not freet4 was 15.1
In July it was tested and it was: TSH 1.46 ft4 1.4 free t3 3.5 and reverse t3 was 22 TPA antibodies were 15 and the max was less then 9
In November it was tested again: TSH 2 FT4 1 FT3 2.6 and I tested borderline for hashis 

- my liver enzymes were elevated in July and then came back to normal and during my pre op appointment my glucose came back at 112
- At the time my liver enzymes were elevated I developed red palms and feet - those have not subsided, even though my liver is normal
- I was also diagnosed with ADHD but I think that is just another piece of this puzzle, since that diagnosis came within the last two years because of TERRIBLE brain fog 
- Lastly, when I was 30 I had a huge cyst in my breast and had to get a mammogram- which ended up with me being told I now have Fibrocystic breast
- 
Please provide any guidance. 

Thanks

I think I would see an endocrinologist and or internal medicine doctor. If the gyn physical reasons for the menstrual cycle were corrected, the high BP, floaters may be related to thyroid problems or other gland related problems.
