So I have some answers. I have stenosis in my carotid arteries but not bad enough to produce my symptoms. The cardiac monitor I wore for two weeks didn't show any cardiac events that were outside normal parameters. The neurologist I saw earlier this year was an idiot. But, I have some answers.
Drum roll......
I'm anemic. Like bad enough that my doctor sent in a prescription for iron. I take an over 50 women's vitamin with iron daily so I'm wondering how bad is it that I need a supplement?
People may experience:
Whole body: dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, or malaise
Heart: fast heart rate or palpitations
Also common: brittle nails, headache, pallor, shortness of breath, or weakness.
All of which I've been experiencing for over a year. But I had to whine and complain, have a couple of bad falls before anyone would take me seriously.
