Hi all. Since Monday morning I've been having these symptoms which led me to Emergency:
1. Shortness of breath
2. Dizziness
3. Sometimes I get contractions in my neck and I feel almost like I'm going to faint. I toggle my throat and it seems to help and it goes away after a minute.
4. When I lie on my left side at night I sometimes get rapid muscle contractions in my chest (last only a few seconds) and have to sit up very quickly. No fainting side effect with this. Hopefully just the chest muscles.
Hospital results:
1. CT scan showed no lung clots
2. Blood tests show an elevated D-Dimer test.
3. Blood pressure fine
4. Heart doing seemingly ok, Even did a 4 minute treadmill test yesterday and it seem ok.
5. There was an other blood test for the heart (I can't remember the name) that was highish (31-h?) but after 6 hours they did it again and it had not changed so the doctor thought it was not too relevant.
6. Low creatine levels (58), high potassium (5.3) and high RDW (14.8)
7. Blood saturation was high (97) so that's good.
I feel more grounded than before but can definitely feel something is still there as I feel "fat headed" and not quite clear yet.
I know these are vague and general sort of symptoms but maybe someone has had the same issues?
Any help or ideas would be great because this is the place to ask!
Thanks.
