For the past 2 years I have been having the same symptoms, and my Dr. is giving me the same meds and the same tests over and over when ever I have another event, and yet he finds nothing, maybe a fresh point of view would help. I'm sweating profusly, most all the time, I don't ean just in my arm pits, I'm mean all over and I can be stand still it will start, also my blood pressure will sky rocket to 150/126 or could go down to 70/30 again with no provocation. I have little strength in my legs to get to a standing position, once there I'm fine, I'm just now getting some of overall strength back. In those 2 years I have put on 85 lbs. I also had a heart cath and had a sent put in and I felt better for a long time, but that did not take the above symptoms away .. of course along with those symptoms I'm very depressed. Can you point me in a direct to look instead of the obvious blood pressure/cardiac/thyroid route? I'd appreciate it very much. One more thing I have a small threshold for dehydration, and my potassium gets dangerously low, don't know if that is a help.

Thanks Pat Burhans

Hi,
I would consider ADDISON's disease as a possibility... also would like to keep a possibility of an underlying pitutary disorder, and a rare cause to be kept in mind would be autonomic nervous system dysfunction/ instability.
Probably a referral to a university level centre would be able to help in diagnosing such a problem
regards
Dr. Gupta
