Andrea and others

I went to the gyn and showed her the test results from the salvia test. Of course because it showed such high progesterone and testosterone she wants it rechecked. They are going to check the free hormones in my blood. Plus she wants my adrenal glands rechecked. Doctors act like this is all in your head. After the hospital visit Saturday I had to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. Last night I ate a little beef and squash. At 4:30 am woke up with stomach pains ended up passing out.(still had the heart monitor on) After that I had diarrhea. My left arm has been feeling a little numb and tingles. But the arm thing has been going on for a while. That keeps the anxiety up. Have you done that? They are doing an echo cardiogram Friday. I feel like a lab rat. Can your hormones do all this to you? I'm trying to learn. It's unreal.

Re: Andrea and others

Jac,

Well I'm learning like you are - yes the hormones can do this. I have the tinglies real bad at times and the heart attack symptoms come and go. I've been reading alot about peri and it can cause all sorts of problems - anxiety, gerd, ibs, heart palps and tinglies not to mention unwanted hairs in strange places, gray hairs growing like weeds, flabby, itchy skin. Guess it's just another chapter in our book, huh?

You're not alone!

Re: Andrea and others

Yes, your hormones can do strange things to you. I don't know about the passing out, did you have a panic attack? I get the tingling and numb feeling in my left arm too. Sometimes, my whole body tingles or just my hands. Why did u pass out? I'm worried about you. Did someone revive you or did u wake up on your own? As far as your gyne re-taking the test, that's okay. Compare them. Are they blood tests? Or is the gyne re-doing saliva?

Re: Andrea and others

My husband was there last night and heard me hit the floor. I think I passed out because of the stomach cramps. The kind you get before diarrhea. You know how you can get all clammy. They are doing a 24 hour urine test and a blood test for free hormones. I'm so sick of this.

I know you are sick of this and I would be too. I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. What did they say with the heart monitor?
