Been in the Emergency Room all 3 times, first they thought it was thyroid, last 2 times thyroid is was normal.
Cardiac tests are normal, EKG, blood tests, x rays all normal. The doctors in the ER do not know what it is....Think they called it epclisolic hypertension, and said glands also needed to be tested and kidneys.
April cardialogist appointment passed, ultra sounds of neck, heart, stress test and was fine, blood pressure running 140/80 average.
This is scaring me silly, while a I try to stay calm and not panic. Especially with no answers. Anyone ever heard of such a mess? And I cannot get into see any specialists till October and Mid November.

I had been given so much hpothyroid medication my TSH was 0 hardly if ever seen. I had become so hyper sensitive, that any change of any kind. The last ER I took 2 steps from bed, my heart started racing, and Blood Pressure spiked to 180 to o ver 200. sypmtoms off and on for a heart attack, and would not go down nor stay down.
I went back finally to the cardiologist who caught the 0 TSH, we went over my ordeal, and we agreed that it was the medication. Which was discontinued.
October and November of 2011 the thyroid had gone below normal my new doctor insisted I take some med or die,
well guess what same thing and aches and pains I could not move. Quit the med and I feel fine and no more symptoms. Also medications for High Blood Pressure can have adverse effects so research the medications also.
Good luck all

I called and got into Mayo Clinic next week.
Now the doctors are talking about Kidney problems. And want to run me all over to all kinds of doctors. Forget that.
Most of you did not say anything much about thryroid which can totally mess up everything.
But I really think it is something with the medications, and reactions to them. They have never stablized my blood pressure in 4 years.
Thanks HeartstonView Thread
