Question: 3 months ago my left leg was excruciating after I put a
heating pad on it. It stayed this way for a week. Then I started having
stiffness in other parts of my legs. At first I thought it was a blood clot but an
ultra sound for dvt showed I didn't have anything in either leg. During this time I also had sinus issues and was given a z pack. The leg and sinus seemed to help for the time being. It came back a week later stronger. I was then given
prednisone and it felt better during that time. Every morning I wake up and my left butt check feels pinched. Sometimes under my arms it feels pinched like you are about to take blood work after you tied your arm. I have had several doctors check to see if its lymph nodes and they say they don't feel it. About 3 weeks ago I stood up and my pulse shot up to 170. It took the er to get it down. I went home and it did it again. The doctors finally put me on Cardizem because my blood pressure had been high since December at 140/90 average. I had several other episodes of the fast pulse of 170. I was diagnosed with svt. Since three weeks ago I get headaches(which had a ct scan without contrast of my head and it was negative). I was admitted still to the hospital because my
white blood cell count was 16000 and my blood pressure was low. I know the sinus stuff came back also around this time. They gave me antibiotics and the wbc came back to normal. I am seeing a cardiologist and have had multiple chest x rays, ekgs and they just say its svt. I am awaiting the results of the
echocardiogram that I had done. EVERY NIGHT I HAVE NIGHT SWEATS! When I blow my nose it has blood in it each time. I have little red dots on my body as well. It just feels like my body is breaking down. I just don't know what direction to go. I have had crp done and was negative, the ana done and it was negative,
hepatitis panel and it was negative.
