I don't know if anyone has had the same symptoms, it is being dealt with but as we all know, tests take ages in the UK and I am really scared. I have been fainting a lot in the past months. It started with being bloated for weeks, I had constant nausea... I am normally a healthy 36 years old, I hike 50 miles per week, run 3 times 30 minutes per week, over the past 2 months I had to stop running as the last time I did I had to stop as my belly was swollen and could not breath and started to had chest pains, I saw my gp and was told that I was just anxious and had dangerously high blood pressure( 150/97) on average and just had to loose weight. I went on a diet and eat healthy but it gets worse, I hike 3 times a week, the first time it happened I was hiking for two hours and had the same issue as when I was running, could not swallow or breath, I had to cough and lie down in the middle of nowhere. This happened another two times till now I cannot even go out for 20 minutes without having this pain, this problem swallowing where I feel like someone is ripping my organs out of my chest. I was taken to A&E 2 weeks ago from work as I collapsed, blood pressure was 160/107, low oxygen 80%, no heart attack could be seen on the xray and the doctors did not know what was going on, they sent me home the same day saying that I had to ask my gp for a heart effort test which I asked. Anyway now I have been shaking for the past 3 days have pain in the stomach area and have constant panic attacks when it happens, my blood pressure shoots up and I feel terrible.
Another thing is that when I push for the toilets most days, I feel like I am going to collapse and when I check my blood pressure it goes up to 170/100 which is weird.
The symptoms I have now are :I feel faint when pushing for the toilets, blurry vision, headaches and my belly keeps swelling, very weak legs, problem swallowing and chest/stomach pain when walking( often a couple of hours after food)
oh and also waiting for an ultrasound as a cyst appeared under my foot a few months after breaking it.
I know it is a lot to read but things are worse by the day.
