Open Question: Heart problems in a 22 year old female?
Alright, I went to my doctor yesterday because I’ve been experiencing a number of strange symptoms. After taking my blood pressure, they had me stand up and take it again, it dropped a good bit. The doctor then took a chest xray, did some blood work, did an EKG, and ordered an ultrasound of my heart friday. I feel like I’m too young for any of this. I’m a very healthy person. My diet is almost completely organic, no processed foods, no meat.
Here is a list of my symptoms
1) Often after standing I black out, or lately even faint (pass out).
2) It’s been a struggle everyday for a while just to get out of bed because I feel completely drained of energy.
3) I’m losing weight rapidly without trying at all. I’m actually trying to gain my weight back, which isn’t something a new mother usually complains about. I gained about 60 lbs during my pregnancy and lost it all plus an additional 24 lbs in 8 months.
4) I have a mass under my rib cage that doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just uncomfortable. You cannot feel it by touching my ribcage as it is under it, pressing against it.
5) I have 3 cavity fillings that have fallen out in the past 2 or 3 months. I know I should have gotten them fixed by now, but with a husband in the military and an infant it’s hard to find time. I’ve heard that tooth decay can lead to heart disease.
Any ideas what this could be? I know it’s a crazy list.
I meant sonogram, not ultrasound.
