For about four months I was having heart palps, anxiety, dizziness, horrible SI pain, high blood pressure, enlarged tongue... I was in menopause and also coming out of my first winter in Alaska. Had CT Scans, MRI, EKG-- all was normal. My blood work was "normal" but I felt absolutely horrible. Was seeing a neurological chiropractor, naturopath, massage therapist, acupuncturist. The only thing that brought relief was Craniosacral therapy, but it was temporary.
I found Danny Roddy and began eating more Peaty after doing Keto and intermittent fasting for a year. I started taking my temp, which was about 97.2. My pulse was about 75-80, but sometimes higher because of adrenaline. I just always felt revved up inside. After about six weeks of eating more fruit, honey, milk and eating more frequently The heart palps and anxiety started to go away. I felt better.
I started seeing a hormone specialist and had an extensive blood panel done:
Cholesterol- 302
Progesterone- no measurable progesterone
DHEA-78
TSH-4.4
T3 and T4 -were normal
Vit D-40
Cortisol-20
Everything else in range. All the vitamins, minerals and every other test was in range. I had $2,000 worth of labs done.
I was put on 100 mg of oral progesterone, 25mg DHEA, 40mg of Testosterone topical, Estriol/Estradiol 60/40 (30mg) topical. The doctor told me we would look at Thyroid function again in 8 weeks when I had my follow-up blood work. I have been grounding, using red light therapy and was getting a lot of sun do to 22 hours of summer light in Alaska. I felt great for about five weeks! Now heart palps back, anxiety and just that feeling of excess adrenaline. Should I supplement with Thyroid? Are the prescribed hormones too much? Is taking testosterone/Bio-est the problem? So confused. I have spent thousands of dollars without real results! Feel helpless! Any thought or suggestions would be very appreciated ?
