Answer 1

Change your diet. Elimate wheat, dairy and sugar. Take iron supplements and probiotics. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water.
Try vitamin D, sunshine and yoga to combat depression. Well Wishes.

Answer 2

You need to call the doc and describe your symptoms. If they still won't take you, then go to the ER. Sounds like you need to be monitored and fast. Black vision, every time you change positions, is NOT normal .Low oxygen levels means that oxygenated blood is not getting to your vital organs. Or at least not enough of it. Your heart is not pumping correctly for some reason. You could have an arrhythmia going on and you would need medication to treat it and soon.

Answer 3

I know it's difficult to wait when you're feeling poorly but are you sure you want to rush the process? Medicine is NOT an exact science, it is an art practiced by various specialists. You want the best possible doctor cutting on your heart -- not the most available, the fastest, or the cheapest. Assuming you're in the USA, have adequate insurance, and are surrounded by people who love you, I think the wisest strategy is to let the professionals do their jobs. The best doctors are often the busiest because they're so good. I offer you my best wishes and advise you to be patient and let the process work itself out.
Good Luck!!

nice pic of the huskie dawg........yer docs seem to be treating you with a dead mouse attitude that shouldn't be there.some illness complaints which have neg results in dr tests mean they treat you like a psych case.if you have a weight problem that aggravates or causes your symptoms the docs will look at you the same way.some years back a dr herb rinkel would fall to the ground,unconscious for 2 or 3 minutes,(blackouts) but wired up to an eeg,his brain showed normal waking activity brain function .his problem was eggs.he contended to his dr(a doc gets sick,he goes to see another dr,like us) no matter what your tests show,i passed out because of the eggs.there are other seizure like problems that are distressing and crippling to the patient,which carry no credence with the attending physician,these problems can often be helped by drs from the american academy of environmental medicine.givem a jangle on the net or 411 &they'll hook you up with the closest 2 or 3 environmental docs,you will have to pay out of pocket,and reimbursement will occur only if you have a ppo plan

Answer 5

You need to discuss this with your cardiologist. Make sure he/she knows the frequency and extent of your symptoms.
