My heart yo-yoing all over the place tachycardia to slow pace. Every time I get up, it gets worse. I get those white dots in my eyes almost constantly. And the pain... My stomach also stopped working - the dreaded gastroparesis. Also, severe nausea and temperature fluctuation. My arm always hurts, but my fingers started hurting on the fingertips. They feel bruised.

The only thing that helps is taking an ambien, laying down and going to sleep. This seems to be the only relief. Sleep and time.

I guess I just needed to unload. I hate it when I feel like this...

Sorry about your attack. I get similar stuff with the heat in the summer and if I sleep on my stomach, or lean a certain way. Certain things trigger my symptoms or keep them at bay(not always easy to mind this or work with but....)

I was wondering if you noted anything that might have precipitated your current state? I.E. eating something different, bending a certain way, sleeping differently, spraining or straining something, exercise. Maybe exposure to a certain herb or chemicals and/or life events, etc.
