Hey there Keener,

I have this too- only my heart rate goes way up, and my blood pressure does, and I feel dizzy and like I have to run to the bathroom, and that I might pass out and this feeling last for hours... the longest one I've ever had lasted 5 hours.... it was a nightmare.

I've tried to explain to my dr. that I think it's hormone related (worse the week before my period), and they only want to put me on BCPs. But, I have a family history of heart attacks and blood clots.... so...

I've almost been let go of a job over these episodes... My cortisol is fine, I don't even have any adrenal problems-so since there is no blood work related answer, they want to think it's anxiety. It's hard to get dr.'s to understand that they are not "anxiety" really... For me anyway... it happens even when I'm just chilling on the couch with my Hubby... :-/

Good luck with things...

Lulu
