I have had awful symptoms predominantly associated with my heart over the past year. I get FREQUENT palpitations and a very fast heart rate. All havebeen checked so far ive been told Ihave a structurally nnormal heart but it fires off lots of pvcs (ectopic beats) and is fast. Still awaiting some test results.
Over the past 2years ive had A LOT of blood tests due to me running to a&e a aLot. Every test has been ok apart from my creatinine, which has always been low, very low at times. Unless ive eaten a big meal its so low. When ive looked this up it says its a sign of decreased muscle mass, so muscular dystrophy and something called myasthenia gravis are what is cited as the possible causes. I am so scared. I have had pains in my legs and lower back for two yrs and more recently all up my spine in my neck mostly. However yesterday I was at a&e again after a very scary episode where I very suddenly started choking. My heart went up to 150bpm and I almost fainted. I felt like my throat was closing up amd my chest muscles were completely seizing up. Its been like that since. I feel like I have a conker stuck in my throat and my chest is so so tight. At a&e they ruled out a heart attack and sent me on my way. I feel they dont listen to me as ive been there too often. They kept saying its the anxiety. When I got home my chest was still so very tight and my throat feels lile its closed up. This is REALLY happening and is so uncomfortable.
I was ok in my sleep but as soon as I woke up this morning I noticed it. Also getting long scary runs of ectopics too.
I cant help but think that its too coincidental to have such low creatinine levels (have ranged from 20-40) and have pins and needles, numbness, aching limbs and now thos horrible throat and extreme chst tightness. Its muscular dystrophy qnd im dying I know it
Please please help.
