Im Beginning To Sound Like A Hypochondriac....

[nailit]

I know!!

But had to finish work early today.
(Previously never even taken all holiday entitelement, let alone sick days)
Heart pounding, dizziness, fatigue and breathing problems.
Managed to get an app with a nurse at GPs in the afternoon.
Blood pressure still high after 6 months on blood pressure meds,
and pulse higher than usual
Got home and had a telephone call from nurse, Doctor wants to see me in morning.

BUT..
I'm still bleeding like a pig from my behind,
(Despite having the all clear from a sigmoidoscapy)
Having to use the lav several times a day and constant stomach upsets etc.

Cant see a connection myself between arris problems and not been able to do my job because im constantly on the verge of passing out (presumeby due to blood pressure)
But interested to hear differntly.

(Have felt significanty worse since been prescribed Ramapril. Was initially prescribed Amlodopine which according to the nurse today should not have been a first choice.
Was on fit or a week and I was sick as a dog. )

Thanks for the feedback Nailit, sounds promising.

The Winner thinks that your symptoms are due to blood loss from your bleeding piles causing an iron deficiency anaemia.

He could be right, but blood tests will give you the answer.

[TheWinner]

dizzy, fatigue, breathlessness etc (that you listed) can be caused if you are anaemic.

How are you coping with all the bood loss, Nails? Are you having to wear pads?

[TheWinner]

correct Sqad, that's just what I was thinking.

A few years ago, my brother was treated for anaemia due to rectal bleeding (haemorhoids), so it must be possible.
