Unequal pupil size and other symptoms

New postby kellyla on Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:43 pm

Hi, I have trying to figure out what is wrong for years and can't. Sorry in advance, this is long!

Here are my symptoms:

Always in good health I(I am a 44 year old female) until about 6 years ago when I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had very high blood pressure, hyperventalating and crushing chest pain, sweating, naseau, very lightheaded.

At the emergerncy room they gave me antianxiety meds because my ekg was fine. But the meds didn't work and my blood pressure was still very high. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days and they couldn't figure out what it was. They thought maybe blood clot but no sign of it. (family history)

I still had the chest pain on the left side of my sternum off and on for 6 years. Also during that time I started haveing high blood pressure( its allways been about 110/70) Anemia ( ended up having eight iron transfusions and then a hysterectomy) constant rash on my arms and legs and torso, and now I have this bad burning sensation on my back, from my hairline at the back of my neck all the way to my last rib. I have looked and there is nothing there, but the pain is really intense.

Also I keep forgetting the words for object or if there is two words together I mix up the first letters.

Now, I go to the eyedoctors and he tells me that my pupils are no longer both the same size. ( I went to the same doctor about 18 months ago )

I have been to my primary a lot and I don't really get any answers, he just treats each condition seperately. I am on Atenelol, Norvasc and Lidex for the rash. He gave me Dilaudid for the chest pain, but it makes me sick.

Can anyone give me any ideas?
