Hi all, just looking for a little advice. December 2020 I had what I can only call is a panic attack (dizzyness/numbness and high heat rate) ever since then I seem to just go down hill. January 21 I got covid and had severe vertigo but since then I have suffered from constant dizziness (when up and around walking etc) including constant heart palpitations. In august 21 I started to notice veins on my hands bulging all of the time and tingling in hands and feet, blood tests completed and ECG seemed fine and monitored blood pressure over 7 days which was fine not sure what they tested on my blood a but in November 21 I started to feel other symptoms brain fog, fatigue, dizziness (still there and is still to this day) really bad psoriasis on my scalp arms and ears (been suffering with this since January 21) shakes, numbness in left hand and seems mostly in left leg, burning feet when walking like my feet are soaking wet (really weird feeling) cold hands and feet all of the time. Full bloods done and they indicated low B12 <137 but didn’t given an exact figure. They done another test to test a bacteria in stomach but come back fine they said. Due to the Xmas break I went on loading doses x 6 but over 3 weeks due to BH. I started to notice purple around my half moons on finger nails and white patches on my fingernails (red above half moon and then white with red above that) which I noticed on Christmas Day. I Didn’t really see a difference after my loading doses and still to this day most symptoms are still here one symptoms made a difference which was heart palpitations, they dramatically reduced. Any advise on what more I should do? They keep trying to put it down to anxiety but before all of this I was fit well and had no issues at all. Do I have PA? Do I need to speak further with the doctor. They have referred me to a cardiologist because I’m worried about my heart since that episode in December 20 but not sure if it is related. ECG comes back fine and the more I read up about B12 the more it makes sense but since my loading doses the doctors haven’t spoke about it since .
Heart rate resting especially when sleeping sits around 44-57

Thanks for your reply. Not really been on much medication I trialled propananol during December 20 I kept having high heart rates (I was really panicky with regards to what happened and kept thinking I was having a heart attack)
Not sure what else they tested, I know they said my thyroid was normal. I will try and request a copy and see what my results were. Just baffling me now as I just don’t feel right, this last year has made me stop doing a lot of things I would normally do!
I checked BP and heart rate when standing. 86 sitting
126 standing (reduces to 98 within 30 seconds-minute unless walking around then stays around 110.
Bp was 141/78 I believe or somewhere in that region.
Prop was used as a beater blocker as I was so on edge with my heart rate. Only used it for 2 weeks then come off it and haven’t been on it since. No only had B12 doses in December and remaining 2 in January 5th and 7th. No more since then.
Agreed, I did think the pots route but blood pressure stayed normalish (I am a big lad to need to take that into account) and my sister is registered to administer b12 injections so she is going to trail some with me but unsure how long and how many I should be taking. Doctors swore that 6 will be fine and 3 monthly here on out. Not due one until beginning of April. Sorry to hear that about your daughter. Has her symptoms reduced now she is maybe following pots advice? My doctor said I may have inner ear issues because of the dizzyness but unsure if I am honest. It doesn’t explain all my other symptoms.
Appreciate your kind advice, I’m going to speak to the doctor again and get to the bottom of my blood results and go from there. Going to start routine B12 injections for a couple of weeks and see it symptoms improve. It’s just horrible if I am honest I’m only 31 soon 32 2 young kids and it’s affecting daily life now. From how I was just over a year ago it has completely made me a different person. Yeah my mom suffers with fibromyalgia and has had it since she was 26. She also has B12 injections but due to a gastric bypass. Just hope I get things sorted and it isn’t too late for life long neuro if I am
Honest.
How is your daughter doing with health now more things have been diagnosed?
