In the past, I have had problems with hair loss and depression but more recently have had symptoms of these:
Fatigue
Muscle weakness
Dizzy/Lightheaded
Intolerance to cold and heat
Rapid heartbeat
Anxiety and more depression
Dry, itchy skin ,
Dry hair and lots! of hair breakage
Vertigo
A sudden feeling of a sort of "rush" for no reason... kind of like an adrenalin rush or the feeling when something scares you. Will continue over and over for sometimes 10 min or more at a time.
Feelings of being detached from my surroundings
Confusion
Blurry vision
Dark urine and constipation although I drink plenty of water
Low blood pressure
Hypoglycemic symptoms and a general feeling of being unwell upon eating
I have been seen many times in regard to these symptoms , to no avail. I have had tests for anemia, thyroid levels and diabetes... all coming back normal. I do not know what to do from here. I feel worse than ever.
THe worst is the muscle weakness and fatigue that I feel , along with feeling unwell after eating and the feelings of panic/anxiety and confusion and feeling weirded out (the detachment feelingI mentioned). I do not know much about Addison's Disease but have read a bit to find that many of my symptoms are the same as those experienced with this disease. I am curious if anyone had these symptoms and finally led to a test and diagnosis of the disease? Or even, if anyone here can tell me if they think it sounds like there may be a chance Addison's is a possible cause of these symptoms? I am at the end of my rope with feeling like this- any advice would be helpful!
