Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain And Heart Palpitations
Ok, I m 23 and this is really getting me down. Here is my list of problems, it s driving me mad. I have had all of these on and off for months now and haven t really had much help from the doctors. - sciatic nerve pain in my right leg - sciatic type pain that travels upward through my abdomen - hot flushes in my left foot - numbness in both thumbs - stabbing pain in some joints - a resting heart rate sometimes of 120 - heart palpitations - sensation of cold water dripping on my legs while I m walking - muscle twitches - tinnitus - dizziness - other sensations in my face or limbs that just don t quite feel right (tingling, pain, numbness, hot or cold) I also went to A&E a few months back because of a very severe pain in my abdomen. I had blood tests (which revealed a higher than usual white cell count, and blood and proteins in my urine) but a normal liver and kidney function. I also had an ultrasound done of my aorta etc which showed nothing really despite the fact the doctor heard a whooshing sound in my abdomen with his stethoscope.
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is important for performing further tests in order to investigate the possible causes underlying your complaints:
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is important for performing further tests in order to investigate the possible causes underlying your complaints: - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction - vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency - blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. A brain MRI may be needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
