| Sound like heart condition?
My question is does this sound like any heart problems that any one knows of? And if so what are they? Here are the details, including symptoms, history, blood tests results, and BPM, thank you.
Symtoms: All the time dizziness, (for the past 2 1/2 months)
weakness all over.
Weakness in hands and feet that comes and goes. Tingling in fingers.
Sweating for no reason.
Swallowing trouble (clearing throat alot after eating meals & feels like there is something in the throat all the time),
restless legs syndrome symptoms,
numbness has had two bouts in right side of face/head, and some more numbness in face to a lesser degree.
Also is tired often, doesn't sleep or eat well, has a physically demanding full time job, has been off work for a month with no improvement.
Has has memory problems also for about 3 months or so.
Feels like he's in a fog
He stumbles frequently
THE dizziness and weakness is the major problems.
Tests done: MRI on the brain, normal
His history before he got sick was working at night, sleepin about 3 or 4 hours a day on average, eating once maybe twice a day. He would drink one or two beers a day.
He when first started getting sick he had blood work done. Which is below. The past 3 doctor visits his bpm has been 104, 104, & 100. The one in the middle he was falling asleep at the doctors visit, was very groggy and not at all nervous. His blood pressure was also on the low side.
He when first started getting sick he had blood work done, which showed an overall low wbc(3.9) normal is 4.2-10.8, but the monocytes were 17.5 H (normal range is between 2 and 10) As far as the protein goes, it just says "total protein" 8.6 H (the range is between 6 and 8.3) I put it was in the second test but was mistaken, it was in the first test.
Also Glucose was 115 H (normal between 75-100)
He stopped drinking any alcohol after the first blood test.
His doctor put him on Remeron for depression which he took for 2 weeks but had to stop. (He was having an adverse side effect with his mood) I have read that remeron can make liver trouble. The test that showed alt 74 H was a month after the first blood test and while he was on the medicine. I'm not sure if he would have been on it long enough for it to effect him that way.
Glucose 107 H (normal between 75-100)
TSH 0.59 was in the normal zone (0.47-4.6
His reflexes were checked by the Neuro, she didn't comment on them. She also looked into his eyes and made a comment that they looked good.
The I.M. has another round of blood tests results that we are going to find out about Monday.
Also, his dizziness doesn't seem to get worse or better with standing, sitting, or another change in position.
