Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What To Do For The Chronic Paraesthesia And Irregular Heartbeats?
I have chronic parethesias on both sides of my body on and off everyday for the last 7 years, it has gotten much worse. I have suffered from irregular heartbeats for 10 years and I have had many tests on my heart and scans on brain and I just don t know what is wrong with me cause everything has come back fine. Im so very scared the doctors are missing something that is going to kill me. I feel awful everyday.
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder such as thyroid, adrenal gland dysfunction, or vitamin B12 deficiency.
Chronic infection from Lyme disease can also leas to similar nonspecific symptoms.
Anxiety could also mimic all this clinical situation.
As your performed cardiac and brain tests have resulted normal, other possible causes have been excluded.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing some tests:
- thyroid hormone levels - cortisol plasma levels - tests for Lyme disease - vitamin B 12 plasma levels
If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your symptoms.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
