Hypoxia and Medicine

Could this be Hypoglycemia?

hello , i have visited the doctor multiple times for my condition. I am being diagnosed with anxiety after all the tests i have had done; which include; Echo cardiogram, EKG, full body CT scan, thyroid, liver, kidney and pancreas function test, urinalysis.Gastrointerologist visits, Tested for celiac disease. stool sample was given also. Everything is pretty much normal, except i have Wolff parkinson white syndrome, and mild Mitral Valve prolapse. This problem has been ongoing for about 8 months, the very first day i started having symptoms i felt a bit dizzy,nausea,had loose stool with mucus appearance,mild chest pain, felt a bit depressed, insomnia, short of breathe. After that first day i no longer felt nausea but the other symptoms still occur. along with these other problems i have. Heart Palpitations upon waking up a few hours after falling asleep Tremors upon waking up Shortness of breathe after eating large meals or sugary foods Extreme insomnia Cloudy urine quite often and sometimes with mucus Loose stools, often undigested looking Stomach Noise all the time (every day) I believe i may have Tinnitus (ringing and clicking sounds in my ear) My tongue is white, which my dentist says its "Geographic Tongue" I often feel like i have a strong pulse in the middle to lower of my back, and the back of my head I have a fungus under my right toenail that will not clear up with medical cream after 9 months Some days i urinate like 15-20 times Used to feel Depersonalized until my Psychiatrist put me on Zoloft I dont feel depressed like i used to , i used to feel sad, but now im just not happy very often. I just got out of the army, in June this year, which i had just spent a year in Iraq and got back in March. When i first got back i felt a little weird.... i didn't feel quite right, I started having my physical symptoms and stuff when i got home to my family in April. I havent felt right since then. Im currently going to the VA clinic. And they probably see me as a Hypochondriac because i make so many appointments, and they just keep telling me i have anxiety. My mother has Hypoglycemia so i decided to research it and it seems to really fit the bill for my symptoms but im not sure. But my doc says that my blood sugar is fine, its been within 88-92 fasting for 12 hours at least. I pretty much feel bad all the time, i tried celexa for a month and i didn't sleep the whole time, now im on Zoloft for 2 weeks now and taking sertraline(sleeping pill) cause it does the same. Im a 23 year old male and i have been exercising often and trying to eat healthy which doesn't seem to help my mood very much . Any help/advice would be appreciated. sorry i mean the Sleeping pill i take is QUetiapine not sertraline

  1. Hypoglycemia is LOW blood sugar, does not cause an increase in urination. Zoloft is sertaline. Have you considered some mental health counseling?
  2. hypoglycemia, like the guy before me said, is low blood sugar. my mom gets it from time to time (she's a diabetic)
  3. Hi, the very first thing I want to say is thank you for your service to our country. As you probably already know Wolf parkinson white syndrome can cause the palpitations, dizziness and fainting. In the list of tests done I do not see one that was done for hypoglycemia. This is called a glucose tolerance test. With this a person has a blood draw and then drinks a very sugary drink and then has blood draws over the next several hours. The test shows how your pancreas reacts to an overload of sugar. However in all honesty the symptoms that you have described do not sound like hypoglycemia to me. It does sound like a combination of your Wolff parkinson white syndrome and anxiety and or depression causing many of your symptoms. You have only been on Zoloft for 2 weeks and it can take up to 6 weeks or more before the full effects begin to kick in. Give it some more time and in the mean time see if you can set up an appointment with a mental health professional. Good luck to you and please let us know how you are doing. Ron
