the doctors did an ekg and a ct but found nothing out of the ordinary. they also ruled out heart attack. could this be a potassium defeciency?

Sounds like diabetis, Get her to get a full blood work up done, and don't forget to rule out pregnancy. it's possible. Also get them to check her spinal fluid if they find nothing, and make sure in the full blood work up they check for everything from levles of all her vitamiles and minerals, to parasites, and cancers.
Hope this helps, take care.

could be vasovagal syndrome, sick sinus syndrome, a potassium defeciency would probably result in interference with her normal heart beat and muscle function, and would have been picked up.
Check for eating disorders or drug abuse, could be contributory factors...
Good luck - I'm sure it's a scary time for all of you.

sounds like her thyroid...
what is her body temp. at wake up time?? if low it could be thyroid.
get a full hormone, chemical, mineral , blood sugar ,blood work up.
also get her checked for food allergies since her stomach is bothering her..plus the can effect the heart rate..
plus get her checked for bacteria in the colon and blood.check to she if she has correct balance of good bacteria in her digestive tract..

Lots of differential diagnosis for this one:
1. Neurological - complex partial seizure, orthostasis (usually with drop in BP with increase in pulse rate), dysautonomia
2. Cardiac - sick sinus syndrome, irregular heartbeat etc.
You should see a good internist who can make an appropriate referral to a specialist.

Could be any number of problems, including gall bladder problems, gerds, anemia, etc.., the best course of action is to go see her doctor and let them run the right tests to diagnose properly.
