My Female Friend needs Your HELP! plz

[taiboxa]

Long read but NEED ANY AND ALL HELP PLEASE!

ok heres the issue firstly
she is 24? i dunno she is younger than me but went to school w/ me and is HOT, and only eats like fish, veggies and health food. but anyways lately she has been missing alot of class lately because she says her heart has been hurting (sharp pains inside left side of her chest i believe)e? she has UBER NIGHT SWEATS she says that are like my Tren Sweats if not worse! she wakes up in the middle of the night w/ an outrageous cramp down the side of her back from neck to but and its not pulsating like a spasm but is a CRAMP that just holds. she has gone to the doc many times they have done tons of test on her and they think it is hormonal.

there was like 5 of us studying together (her included) when she told me this, one of them has been doing surgeory and working at a podiatrice clinci for 3 years now under his uncles supervision and he is brilliant when it comes to medical stuff but the only advice he could give is "Hormones eh? THATS RIGHT DOWN TAI's ALLY!" well i was at a loss and after some weird questions, here are the responses i got

Have you noticed any water retention of puffyness in any areas? Nope none.

Has your sex drive increased or decreased in past 6 months? Yes it has decreased but that is becuse i dont like my boyfriend. (good for tai!)

Have you experienced any tenderness in your breast at any point in the month? Nope none

Any size reduction or increase in breast or other body fat? Nope same'o same'o

Any changes in mood, i.e. anger or agitiation? I have become depressed even more than usual. doc said it could be possibly related to stress.
(she works 2 jobs and goes to school full time)

thats all i got right now but if anyone can SHINE any light on this especially from personal experience i would be GREATLY APPRECIATIVE! because she is HOT, i had huge crush on her in highschool, and she shot me down when i asked (actually stopped talking to me for a while after i "Accidently" beat da krap outta her old boyfriend"

i think they pulld blood work and i kant remmber but her test is ok i remember that but thats all i think she got
my gf doesnt let me talk to her much anymore since she found out i had a crush on her in highschool ><

To be honest if those levels are normal it sounds a bit more sinister to me. Those are some pretty weird symptoms. I would be seeking a 2nd medical opinion if I was her.

[Mizfit]

What medications does she currently take? Any?

Panic attacks can play havock on you body and don't always come when you think your stressed out.

I have only ever gotten them at night (way back when i was in university), when you would think my stress levels would be low..

Sometimes your mind is thinking evenwhen your not aware of it and at night, issues or stuff your worried about can manifest even bigger

My wife used to have the same thing. She would have chest pains so bad she would stop in the middle of the grocery store and couldn't move until it went away.

It was directly related to stress. Certain factors/issues came up again and she started to get the pains again but now has not had one in a long time.

I think it is stress and panic attacks as mizfit said. I was diagnosed with GAD (General anxiety disorder) and al of the symptoms are the same. You mind can be thinking of things subconciously and be reaking havoc on the body. I was presrcibed Lexapro and it worked great. I am actually about to go back on a low dose of 5mgs a day.

Stress and anxiety can cause all of these symptoms and can be very bad. I would have her ask her DR about GAD and see what he says. My symptoms were so bad that I thought my heart was jammed up and limbs went numb ect. It was all attributed to cramming in school and working two jobs ect.

[Mizfit]

other anxiety meds include buspar (not a benzodiazepine)- Very light and actually doesn't work in alot of ppl and takes longer to actually feel the affects.

and

Ativan (Lorazepam)

Clomazapam too

I'm sure there r tons more

[taiboxa]

thanks all

I'd definately say its anxiety or panic attacks. I started having bad chest pains shortly after I started working and going to school full-time. I always got them in the late evening when I thought I was winding down. . It felt like someone was prying my ribs apart. The doctors could never figure out what it was, and just chalked it up to me pulling a muscle. (I had to go to the emergency room at least a dozen times and never had any tests show something physically wrong--ekg's, blood tests, etc.) When I picked up a second job I started having insomnia and the pain was more frequent and intense. I got assigned to a new primary care physician who sent me to a psychatrist. The shrink put me on Ritalin and Wellbutrin, and everything was great. After I dropped the 2nd job, and cut back on classes (I had been taking 18-21 hours a semester), I dropped the Wellbutrin and never had another attack.

I've never known any guys who have had these feelings, but quite a few of my girlfriends have had something like this happen at some point in their lives. (Birth of 1st child, promotion at work, etc.) I think its because we internalize so much stuff, that when we 'relax' it rebounds on us all at once.

So they think you has Attention deficit thats what the ritalin was for?
