Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi , That's a question for me, too. I am eagerly waiting for next week's appointment to find out if my breathlessness is caused by hypo, or what. It's not exactly breathlessness, just sort of a feeling that maybe some of the air I breathe is going right through my lungs and disappearing. Does that make sense? It's not like I can't get enough oxygen, exactly. First time I experienced it was when I was hyper, just getting regulated on the meds. Then it went away. Now it's back.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I Know exactly what you are saying! I feel like this when I am hyper and it seems worse in the evening.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 That's it exactly, Terry - what a way with words you have! Having decided that I'm hypo I'm now wondering if I've actually gone hyper again - or maybe we will hear from someone who is getting it and knows they're hypo. Please let us know the result of your appointment next week. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Hello Bertta - thanks for your interest - I'm not on any blood pressure medication - I'm nearly certain that it's because I'm hypo - or maybe hyper - here I am - dithering again...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Actually,I think I may have,though I was only hypo for a short time and my main symptom was I was freezing cold all the time.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Thanks, . I find the symptoms I have are so similar that sometimes I really don't know which round I am...
