Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Interesting symptoms Chelle. Have you had your FERRITIN, testosterone, DHEA and HGH tested.Low ferritin has a whole host of symptoms, among them hair loss - as does tesosterone, DHEA and HGH.I thought I had anxiety attacks and I recently learned that that panicky feeling, rapid heart beat and heavy breathing were all due to heart arrythmias!!!!! Have 3 kinds. Turns out that they are within "normal" range , the funny beats and that many of us have the non-threatening kind.THis is posted :Symptoms What are the symptoms? Most arrhythmia does not result in symptoms, but people may experience anxiety, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, unusual awareness of the heartbeat, and sensations of fluttering or pounding in the chest. Diet Dietary changes that may be helpful Excessive caffeine consumption has been associated with arrhythmia in human studies. Although most people do not experience arrhythmia as a result of caffeine consumption,1 some healthy people appear to be susceptible to as little as one cup of coffee.2 Allergic reactions to foods and environmental chemicals have been reported to trigger arrhythmias.3 Consultation with a physician may help to pinpoint these sensitivities.The above is found on this site: http://www.peacehealth.org/kbase/cam/hn-1182007.htmSadly, the use of estrogen also causes hair loss and mental/emotional disturbances as seen here...http://www.medicinenet.com/ethinyl_estradioldrospirenone-oral/article.htmSIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, bleeding between menstrual periods (spotting), weight gain, acne, stomach cramps, rash, swelling or bloating, skin spots, breast tenderness, or difficulty wearing contact lenses may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: dizziness, flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, unusual weakness/fatigue, sore throat, muscle aches), mental/mood changes, trouble sleeping, hair loss, vaginal infections. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: severe headache, pain in the lower legs or groin, trouble breathing, chest pain, vision changes, severe stomach pain, one-sided weakness, yellowing eyes or skin, lumps in the breast. If you notice any other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.DustyChelle wrote: My hormones have not been right since I gave birth to my last child 4 yrs. ago. My Estrogen has been falling...and now my progesterone must be falling too, because I've not had a period in two months (never done this before, and I'm not pregnant, I've taken 3 tests so far). My hair has been coming out...I'm not bald, but I sure don't like that it's thinning...I've been having anxiety...though it was much worse before I went up on my estrogen patch. I've had my thyroid tested in every way I know too...I'd like to see if an Endocrinologist could help me get down to the bottom of the hormone changes...thanks for the kind words! ~Chelle Need a vacation?
