Opinion needed

hello, i am 20 year old female and i suffer from rapid heart beat... to the point my lungs cant adjust to my heart beat i get dizzy and pass out... my whole left side goes numb

i wake up and the paramedics are there but they tell me we cant catch anything.. its awfully depressing... its happened to me at work, my work is hesitant of giving me hours now, because there afraid i may get sick again... its happened at school ( college) and they put me in disability services... i mean i want this all to end.. but doctors cant seem to find out what is causing it...

 

they found a short cirquit... but they sai dthey dont want to burn it because its not the cause of me passing out... they did a tilt test and they said for me to increase my salt intake.. i dont know how much salt i have to have.. i am portuguese.. salt is our lives..... doctors keep giving me the run about... not taking me seriously... whyy?? is it because im 20....all i know is i want my life back...

 

i cant walk up the stairs with out taking a break because i feel like im going to die.. i cant play sports anymore... my life is in a whole.. and i dont know what to do..

Just from what I have read, I think your relationship with your Doctor is not a good one. For what ever reason, you don't feel like you are being taken seriously. You have to be able to trust your Doctor. Can you change Doctors? It's bad enough to go through what you are going through and have to worry if your Doctor believes you on top of it.

i can understand your fustration , i get the same run around from the va , i dont have what you have ( reoccuring shingles) but because for a long time i didnt know what was going on the dr didnt know either you have to become your oun advocate and not back down if your dr isnt listening find one who will its your life and your body learn what you can about the heart how it works look at your symptoms and do research on what foods effect your sysmptoms i know o to well the fustration and the depression from knowing something is wrong and you just cant solve the mystery , the depression then having the dr think its all from your depression and the medications . hope you get some where and use this forum to vent it does help
