Hello to everyone. I just found this web site yesterday and I am thrilled. My story began 5 years ago. My first symptoms were rapid and pounding heart beat, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and difficulty swallowing. Of course I was diagnosed with panic attack. I then had very sore throat, like a burning sensation, to go along with everything else. I was then diagnosed with acid relux. I had no tolerance for any of the medications. Everything I took made my heart race and made breathing difficult. I've been to a cardiologist and my heart checked out fine. About a year after the symptoms began I had surgery for the acid reflux with no improvement. I should mention that by now I had more symptoms that did not appear to be related at all. I'll list these in a bit. All medicine including natural supplements made me feel worse. I went to the Mayo clinic which was a huge disappointment. They did the exact testing I had already had for the acid relux. Their diagnosis was acid relux even though I had already had the surgery to fix this problem. My symptoms include rapid heart rate, chest tightness, very sensitive to chemicals and foods, occasional sore throat, joint pain in wrists and elbows and muscle weakness in arms and legs, legs are very sensitive to touch, no tolerance for physical activity, dizziness, vision getting worse, occassional floaters in the eye, very sensitive to smells especially car fumes and perfume, sometimes feeling like I am going to pass out. I do not feel clear headed at all anymore. I could go on with the list but it's just kind of depressing. I am afraid to drive anymore especially on the highway. All I want to do is stay home and not pretend I feel ok. I am just so tired. I have a doctor's appointment Oct 25 with a "natural doctor" who also has a medical degree. I also have a dentist appointment Nov 7 to see about getting rid of my 5 "silver" fillings the correct way. I am 43 years old now and probably got the fillings when I was around 30-35 years of age. Does this sound like mercury toxicity? What would you suggest I do now before I can see the doctor or dentist? I would appreciate any feed back.
