Hi All,

I'm looking for some help from anyone who may have experience of Autonomic symptoms in PN

18 months ago I nearly blacked out three times and then shortly after i developed classic motor and sensory symptoms of peripheral neuropathy - pins/needles in hands and feet, burning feet, muscle twitches and tiredness and fatigue. Nerve conduction studies were normal

Neurologist said I probably had inflammatory peripheral neuropathy, caused by a virus, and over the next 12 months it would gradually improve. It did improve and I was back in the gym, a healthy guy in my 40s.

A few weeks ago symptoms came back but I had strong palpitations this time. Repeat ECG and bloods showed that I had changes to my ECG - flat P wave, which apparently means that there is some sort of Arrythmia developing. I'm breathless on exertion and i have all the other symptoms back - tingling hands/feet, muscle twitches as well as Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - pain from Ulnar nerve in elblow radiating down my arm. My Thyroid was slightly elevated.

The symptoms affecting my heart are the ones that give me the most concern. The only thing i could find on the web was Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy - it has a poor prognosis and mostly linked with Diabetes but I dont have any other health condition.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

Andy
