Resolved Question

I have been having some issues for the past year that started with what they told me was a panic attack. I was put on xanax and remain on it for the last year. I have had all sorts of medical tests, MRI, MRA, CT's, Full Cardio work up inlcuding 2 stresss tests, 24 holter, event moniotr, 2 echos'.And blood work up the thing yang. My cathelcolimnes were a little high in the blood but came back fine in the urine. I have Sinus tach on and off. they call it IST. I get light headed when I sit for a long time and when I lay down at night. I've notice my BP drops when sitting and laying down. Goes up hen I stand and walk and remains normal. I passed a tilt table. So, My cardio doc did not know what to do with me so I was sent to a EP doc. They told me yesterday it's dysautomia. I don't get this? I'm not sure what kind? And how can that be diagonsed with just a few symptoms?? I think I need to see a nuero doc. I'm so upset. My primary thinks I'm in great health, but have somantization disorder, where as my shrink says panic disorder..WTF? How can I figure this all out? I'm also peri-meno. Any help would be great.

Im not a doctor, this is just what I would do if I had your symptoms.....
I think you have become overwhelmed with doctors and diagnosis. I think that if you have panic attacks, your own fear and anxiety will add to whatever symptoms you may have or feel, and they will escalate, which in turn you will panic more. I feel you need to work on the panic issue first and really try to figure out why you are so anxious. Also, being peri-meno screws up the body chemistry some. Why not start with some vitamins for menopause and see if you can balance out your system. Sounds like you had all sorts of test that rule out any serious problems, so try to relax and not be so anxious. Anxiety really plays hard on the body. I feel if you can control that, then some of your other symptoms might diminish. Good luck to you.... I hope you are feeling better soon.
