Since last night I have been feeling these episodes of being real lightheaded and just a feeling of everything being dizzy - but nothing is actually spinning. I am super tired and just very lethargic and not real well feeling with these episodes of chills one minute asnd then being real hot the next. Very tired as well. It has been 3 1/2 days since the ep study and tilt tests and the reaction to the vancomycin as well as the ILR recorder implant. Any suggestions or ideas what might be going on? - Heart rate has been skippin around some and about 125 bpm range.. thanks in advance,

Erica
 
Erica, w

What you're describing is similar to how I felt postpartum when I had thyroiditis, i.e., temporary hyper- then hypothyroidism. You may consider asking your doc for a simple blood test to check your thyroid, if you haven't already.

Be well,
 
It could be hormonal! Symptoms you descibe are the way I feel for up to a week prior to my cycle. It was scary until properly diagnosed. Really nothing they can safley prescibe for these vicious swings. I keep saying to myself "this too shall pass" :) Surgery put me into premature 'peri'.

Always so quick to blame it on my heart. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
 
Have you had the results back from your tests yet? Hopefully they will yield some answers, even if only to rule things out.

Wishing you the best
Anna : )
