the last 2 months of my life have been awful. I started having hypertensive crises of 165/110, accompanied by palpitations (125beats per minute), very dry mouth, sometimes with headache, and paresthesia. It can last from 5 minutes to several hours. I feel exhausted after them. THESE CRISES ARE NOT RELATED TO FEAR OR ANXIETY. They may eventually be related to some past trauma, I don t know for sure, but the actual crises do not involve fear or panic. Between them my blood pressure is 100/65. My hypertensive paroxysms happen several times a week. I never woke up from this kind of attacks. They happen at night but only is I'm awake. Plus I have diarrhea for more than a month. My head MRI and CT are ok. Ekg - good. I got tested for endocrine diseases and I have none. Because of my poor english it is difficult for me to explain all the medical investigations I went through, but if anybody is interested and asks, I am willing to give the necessary information. The thing is all the doctors I went to told I am healthy. They heard me, but they never really listened to me. because they didn t find anything pathological, I seemed crazy to them. Currently I am taking Lasea, 2 pills in the morning and one before I go to sleep. I don t feel any difference. one thing I didn t rule out is the carcinoid syndrome. Can anybody help me? :(
i am the same. i suffer a lot from random palpitations and sometimes my heart just beats hard or fast and lasts a whole day or hours and sometimes goes on for a week or more . its very annoying and scary but ive gotten checked and im ok, its anxiety and the build up of stress. i have had anxiety for 8 years
How can anyone help when they cannot even pronounce it?
The condition can be caused by psychological trauma, so I suppose you might need to figure out what, if anything, is causing the problem. It usually goes away once this happens.
