Question: Hey am 28 and experiencing heat in my body my head gets heavy pulls back and forth squeezes i did mri al kinds of test blood you name it, what could that be?
Brief Answer:
Endocrine
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note your medical symptoms.
There are a few endocrine (ie hormone related) causes of this problem:
1 Pheochromocytoma
This is a very rare condition in which spells of headache occur along with chest pain/shortness of breath and blood pressure swings.
A simple non-fasting blood test called Plasma Free Metanephrines is a good way to screen for this.
2 Acromegaly
This too is a rare condition which can cause headache. A blood test called IGF1 is a reasonable way to screen for this. Again no fasitng necessary
3 Thyroid problems.
An overactive thyroid state ( 'hyperthyroidism') can result in such symptoms. Checking blood levels of TSH and Free T4 are helpful in diagnosing this.
4 Menopausal hot flashes
You are obviously too young for menopause but it is important to know if your menstrual cycles are fine.
