.. and going to do the walk up thing at Mayo Clinic tomorrow to see if I can be seen and get a full work up and hopefully a diagnosis for why I feel so weak, fatigued, shitty in general and passing out 2-3 times a day with absolutely no warning. I had a 24 hour Holter Study two Friday's ago and it basically showed my sinus rhythm is okay and I had "rare ACP's and PCV's " but apparently those are okay too. My brother drove me up and we are going to hang up here this week and next week if necessary to get worked in. I am told this works but it can take time, so we shall see.
I am going to ask for a fully syncope work up looking at:
Enodicrine system - Adrenal stress test, glucose tolerance, ??
Cardiac
Autonomic Neuro System - Tilt table testing and anything else that could cause vagal response
Autoimmune testing
I also have emptying issues, bladder and bowels where it feels like feces or something gets stuck to my prostrate or bladder. It gives me a burning sensation (not exteme burning but irritation) and like I say it feels like things are stuck so I am wondering if I have either a possible large bladder stone or and adhesion to may prostate or bladder, or scar tissue wrapping around prostate or bladder.
Hopefully I get a full work up in a relatively timely manner and it identifies the cause of my passing out and other less serious issues. I am at my wits end down about not being able to do anything with my life including supporting my family so I need this.
I am cautiously optimistic.
