I have been experiencing bloating, then back pain, blood pressure spikes, then dizzy and pain in my head. 8 doctors later and all these tests, well I I've have hypertension ( I've had it for years ) I have anxiety, well duh.... who wouldn't after these things happening. Mayo ER sends me home and EKG normal. They know my first name I've been so many times. Here's the interesting part. My stomach. It's imbalanced. The good bacteria isn't more than the bad bacteria like it should be in my stomach. I know I have vertigo and Meineres Disease. Had it for years. Boils down to my stomach. It's like we have to have it right in the stomach. So BP med, and PROBIOTICS! You have to get the kind in the fridge at the pharmacy or health food store. Talk about anxiety! Doctors, hum, I think I've let them stress me out more with all these test. I'm not saying don't go to the doctor! GO! But trying to find out why I'm having all these symptoms is a bit overwhelming. Also if your not happy with a doctor, change! Find the ones who listen to you! What do I need, BP med, eat healthy, no processed food, and PROBIATICS and learning to relax without fear. Panic attacks are scary and real. Hope this helps! Life is too short not to be happy and healthy. Breathe!

You sound just like me!!! In the end you just get on with the life you have. - well actually it's more like existing rather than living in comparison to what I had before but it will just have to do I suppose there are others worse off .

At leAst now I have no pain it would be nice to be able to go places and have holidays but I still get anxious about toilet facilities so still restricted in that way. Good luck to you all
