anyone else not feeling well?

ive been having shortness of breath, heart palpitations, lightheaded and severe fatigue to the point where I want to collapse sometimes. thyroid bloodwork is fine and supposedly so is my anemia. dr. sent me to a cardiologist and im going to be having testing done. everyone keeps saying its stress but I dont believe it is.

are you eating a drinking properly?

After my friend lost a ton of weight, she started getting this... she wasn't drinking and her body chemistry was readjusting to losing a large amoutn of weight in a realitvely short period of time.. she makes sure she's hydrated now and it doesn't happen anymore.

I know that's an incredibly simplistic proposition, but I hope it's nothing more serious for you.

I had not been feeling well for the past 6 months. I had been feeling like surreal and very anxious and sooooooo stressed out. So when I went to the doctor, my blood pressure was soooo high that I was near stroke level.

She asked me what I have been going through. And I told her wedding and work have been stressful. So she asked me which meds I was on and I told her that I was on the pill. And she told me to get off them right away, coz that will raise your blood pressure. So I did, and began to watch more closely what I am eating and I was put on BP pills.

I just got my BP done again and it dropped significantly, but it was still higher than normal, but she says that the pill is still in my system and it takes a whole cycle to get it out. So in about a month, right before my wedding I have to get my BP checked again. But I am trying to stay stress free in order to keep things in check. I mean it is tough to do in the last month before your wedding, but it has to be done.

Stress can do a number of things to your body. You can suffer panic attacks, which can feel like heart attacks sometimes. So don't rule it out.

It could definitely be stress related. Once when I was completely stressed out a few years back I wound up in the hospital because I had a seizure! I never had one before and never since! Try not to let the stress get to you....I know easier said than done.

ITA
Might be anxiety.
Just in case..drink plenty of water (not too much)
and maybe go get a massage
or a mani/pedi
or a bubble bath.
