Gastrointestinal docs?? Other knowledgeable peps??

Question

I've had the following symptoms for, well, forever, and NO ONE knows what's going on:

Dizzy spells, accompanied by nausea, followed by dry-heaving, shaking, passing-out, and tingly feet and hands.

These little attacks usually happen at least every second day and afterwards I am outta commission for hours. So, these symptoms are kind of ruining my life.

Any ideas??

Been tested for thyroid probs, sugar and insulin probs, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, GERD, basic liver function, multiple myeloma, hormone probs, H. Pylori, some autoimmune disorders....and more. Have seen at least 5 different docs about all this. But, after waiting for appointments and after enduring tests, nothing gets solved and nothing works. Then, well, I end up waiting to see someone else.

One doc suspected gastritis but am waiting for an endoscopy and colonoscopy (not until May), since I haven't responded to at least 7 different treatments that are supposed to treat the condition.

Opps, also should mention, I also get kind of weak and sweaty. It almost sounds like how other people describe a hypoglycemic attack or anxiety. I don't have either though. But, best analogy I can come up with.

Great answers so far. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!!!

Answer 1

The only thing that comes to mind (given that you have ruled out a thyroid problem, which is what a lot of people overlook) is that it may be some type of seizure disorder. If you haven't seen a neurologist yet that may be your next best step.
Bless your heart and I hope you find resolution somewhere.

Answer 2

I would be contacting a Neurologist, sounds like some activity in the brain is causing you to malfunction.

Answer 3

sounds like epilepsy - but the dry heaves don't make sense.

have you have a brain scan?

also -- you could have 2 different things going on - the stomach problems sound like a
