Does this ever happen to you? Faint?

Question

Several times daily, my heart beat slows or stops suddenly, normally happens every 1 hour or so of every day, sometimes more often. In order this is what happens to me. I get really hot, I start feeling kinda lightheaded and dizzy, then my hearing goes, then my eyesight goes black, and then I faint.

I have been to several doctors, went to the ER several times, have had the abulance called when I've been out in public. I've had up to 8 big viles of blood taken at one time, I've had EKG's and Kat Scans. They can't find anything, they have no idea what's going on. Does this happen to you and if so what is it? The only break I've gotten was one doctor said it was my heart stopping just long enough for me to faint. I am pregnant, but this has happened to me ever since I can remember. I do eat every day and drink lots of fluids, but nothing really helps. The only thing that makes it a little better is if I drink or eat something sugary. Is it diabetes, why haven't they found it?

Answer 1

Ask a good seasoned cardiologist. I wouldn't be asking it in this dump anyways. I would venture to say that you have some type of Sympathetic Beta blocked problem from you pons and medulla, thus blocking your AV nodes. If you ask online then power search open doctor or people with similiar problems forums. I'm sure the doctors gave you the anomalous medical term for your condition to use in Google or something similiar.

And I doubt it is a low blood pressure problem. Low BP does not slow your heart, that is that you are correct when you say your heart slows down and stops, or you are imagining it that way. Nor I doubt it is Diabetes, Diabetes would be spotted easily, and if it were that severe, you would be dead by now, and DB makes you incredibly thirsty and bruise easily.

Answer 2

Apparently, any line is a positive no matter how faint!! I have the SAME exact problem! I took two HPTs yesterday and they're both sooooooo faint it's hard to even see a second line, but I posted and everyone said a positive is a positive. Sounds like you are! Congrats and make an appointment with your doctor to make sure and start with the prenatal stuff :)

Answer 3

It sounds to me like you have low blood pressure. I can't believe no one has recommended you see a cardiologist. You MUST correct this post haste! Have your primary physician recommend you see a cardiologist immediately. I don't want to scare you but your health as well as the life of your unborn child may be at stake here (and probably is). In the meantime eat things with a high sodium content such as chicken noodle soup or chicken broth to help raise your blood pressure. With your history of fainting, you should NOT be behind the wheel of a car. Please do this immediately! I will be hoping you take this advice!

Answer 4

It's hard to believe that you've had all these tests and nothing.

Those tests would have included diabetes, I'm sure. What about thyroid? Again, I can't imagine they would leave such common diseases out. Low Iron.

Answer 5

what you need to do is see your doctor as soon as possible and ask your doctor to send you to the best heart doctor
