For the past year, I have had really strange symptoms. I have been to the ER and multiple doctors but still not sure what is wrong. Just wondering if anyone has any insight into these symptoms. I feel like I have a disease that has remained undiagnosed.
1. Tightness in throat/Lump in throat feeling. Originally diagnosed as acid reflux. Put on PPI's but they did not help. After a year of this, i was finally diagnosed with esophageal dysmotility. A mild case where the esophogus does not contract as fast as it should. I have read this could be caused by an underlying disease.
2. Shortness of breath from little to no exertion. This usually goes along with heart palpitations. I have an high resting pulse rate. Have had pulmonary functions and oxygen tests and all was well. No asthma or lung problems. Also, had a chest xray. Dr. put me on beta blocker for high blood pressure and high pulse rate. I have not started taking that yet because of other symptoms such as dizziness.
3. Over the past year, I get "spells" where i get lightheaded brain fog feeling. It usually only lasts a day or two but now has lasted for a solid week. Again, last time this happened about 8 months ago, I went to ER and had a CT scan, xray and heart monitor. All results normal. This time, my eyes feel funny too. I feel like I can't see as sharply as before and have tunnel vision feeling. I get lightheaded when I sit down and walk. Feel very disconnected. This makes it hard to drive and work. Probably should go to ER and check it out but everything always tests OK. I did have my eyes checked a few days ago and nothing wrong there.
4. I have a weird muscle spasm near my bottom lip. It will happen several times a day and it pulls my lip to the left for a few seconds.
I know I have PCOS and High blood pressure as well as the esophageal problem. What else could this be? I have had my thyroid tested and all normal. I am 37 year old female and not going through menopause as far as i know. I am most concerned now about the heart palps and really concerned about my vision/lightheaded issue.
