If we're soliciting medical advice from the thread, the chest pain from getting covid a year+ ago still has not gone away, although it has morphed into being mostly at night and mostly a feeling of like a severe tremor specifically in the heart cavity that is on top of the regular heartbeat, almost like a hummingbird thing. I bought a mini-ekg device and it has not shown any irregularities, although it starts to calm down as soon as I get out of bed so maybe I need to get like a watch that can monitor it while I sleep? Anyways it doesn't feel like there's arrhythmias. I think it's triggered by caffeine but it doesn't do anything immediately, it takes until I am sleeping, and if it were an allergy I'd think there would be other symptoms too like rash or whatever. Also caffeine doesn't trigger this every time, maybe like 60% of the time. Other than that it might be salt, but that's a much wilder guess and less obvious. I have had previously to covid what I thought was a fairly bad essential tremor to begin with, I reasoned from too much caffeine but I don't really know for sure because I never tried to cut back or anything I got an ultrasound and it showed nothing at all wrong, same with bloodwork for heart attack. I'm not sure where to go from here. Doctor seems likely to just put me on statins and not investigate further, and seemed much more receptive to the possibility of arrhythmias than any of the stuff I described. Any ideas? icantfindaname has issued a correction as of 00:52 on Apr 29, 2024 |

it could very easily be something to do with your esophagus / GI tract. pain refers around the chest cavity in weird ways, and sensory nerves can get crossed up in ways that provoke motor responses. also Pillowpants not to be an rear end in a top hat but you're morbidly obese, that poo poo fucks systems in your body top to bottom. metabolic, musculoskeletal, nervous, don't matter, I'm glad you're focusing on that as an issue first because it's going to be so, SO hard to differentiate and discriminate other issues if that one is not addressed.

Even if it's not the root cause, the unfortunate truth is doctors see that and can't give a poo poo past it. I'm just a little overweight (for an American), and can still sense the dismissiveness. Not a lot of rushing to figure out what's wrong anymore. Just get "well that happens when you get older".…. Bitch, I'm not *that* old. We gotta lose weight. Even though once poo poo starts piling up it gets loving harder than ever, and it spirals.

if it makes you feel better I’m a normal weight and was dismissed for two years with ‘well that’s just menopause/perimenopause stuff like that happens when women get older’ for irregular bleeding between periods, but since it only occurred days before my actual period would start or taper off after it technically ended it wasn’t ’between periods’ but just my period changing. it got to the point I had maybe a week a month where I wasn’t cramping, spotting or outright bleeding. I had lumps in my breast we were more concerned about but once they decided that was just waxing/waning cysts hey problem solved right? It took the MRI tech suggesting I go to a nurse practitioner who specialized in menopause to see if she wouldn’t prescribe estrogen, me going, her doing all the blood work up (my pc doc never bothered) and finding high CA-125 (I had plenty of estrogen oddly enough but no testosterone or prolactin), doing an ultrasound and finding a 6cm anechoic complex cyst on my left ovary that they want out sooner rather than later. So now I get to have a complete hysterectomy/ bilateral oophorectomy to see if I have ovarian cancer. Apparently SOP for a bigger than 5-7cm ovarian cyst in women over 53 years old (I’m not but hey close enough, I’m done having kids and ovarian cancer moves fast so better out than in). They’ll hopefully be able to do it all laparoscopically but taking my ovaries will slam me headfirst into full menopause so I’m sure that’ll be fun. The cool part is they’ll be able to send the sample over to pathology and get an answer in about 40 minutes during the surgery so they’ll just leave me open while they wait to make sure they don’t have to take more (what else is left at that point?) Then all I have to worry about is catching Covid in the hospital while they keep me overnight.  Don’t listen to doctors who blow off irregular bleeding uterus havers. Even if it’s ’around that time for the Change.’

Have you done a lipid panel? What does that and your BP look like? I refused statins for years because I'm a vegan with a low BMI so how could that possibly be the issue? Well, turns out my liver is an rear end in a top hat and makes like three times as much cholesterol as my body needs all on its own, so now I take a 10mg pill every day and can't eat grapefruit.

And that's how I learned that it turns out women's periods don't actually synchronize and sudden irregular bleeding is a symptom of cancer.

They didn't have a nosebleed or particular discomfort during, and it seemed to work like coke would. Is that a thing? I've heard of it happening with extensive use, but never after just once.

Like lmao yeah like only 5% of black widow bites would be lethal but for vast majority of folks it really loving sucks The redback spider here in Australia is a member of the widow family and throughout my entire childhood it was always drilled into us that this species was deadly dangerous and one of the only two species on this continent known to cause human deaths (the other being the Sydney funnelweb spider). Here's a 1972 song about getting bit on the dick by a redback and having to go to hospital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnEqmnOfV6Q (Thread regulars will appreciate the appearance of the phrase "The cure can't be worse than the disease" lol) A few years ago one of my housemates got bitten by a redback and when he rang emergency they went "Yeah just take some panadols and if there's any swelling then apply ice to the bite area, if the pain gets bad then ring back I guess BUH-BYE." It turns out that only about 30% of people bitten by redbacks have any reaction at all and although some are pretty bad the overwhelming majority only have relatively minor symptoms and don't require hospital attention, and there's usually only around 200 cases every year where anti-venom is even administered. There's been no deaths since 1956 when the anti-venom was introduced. I always assumed that the reason there hasn't been any deaths attributed to redback spiders in nearly 70 years was because the anti-venom was saving the lives of people who got a bad bite but a 2014 Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravenous Antivenom Versus Placebo concluded that "there is considerable weight of evidence to suggest it is no better than placebo" and recommended that we stop using it or at least warn people that it has limited utility but also carries a danger of anaphylactic shock. Official NSW clinical management guidelines on snake & spider bites now say "Red-back spider envenoming is not life-threatening even to infants and children." Historically there's been 14 deaths attributed to redback spider bites in Australia (all before 1956) but apparently there's now some doubt over whether a redback bite was the actual cause of those deaths or whether they were due to other complications. Looks like the stories about redback spiders being deadly I've been told my entire life were wrong.

Once again because it's not all that deadly doesn't mean it won't hurt. Being in Texas I've known 5 folks personally and saw their spider bites myself, it always get really nasty and gross af. Two of them got the wound badly infected and had to get surgery to carve it out and left a permanent dent in their leg/foot. Like c'mon we brag about having the best medical care in the world, and now it's like you're not dead = success! (Ignoring everything else)

I was under the impression that a lot of deadly spider bites were more because of poor wound care than the venom itself. With spiders like the redback or widow just making it extra miserable and difficult to deal with an infected wound from a wild animal.
