Hi! Helpless partner here watching her boyfriend go though hell. I have watched my guy (49) go from active and always on the go to always in bed. It seems to have started after a minor surgery. That night his arm got really swollen and blood pressure and heart rate were high and he went to the ER. They said it was anxiety. :( fast forward and the next couple of weeks he has good days and bad (more good than bad). He gets tingling and pins/needles sensations and extreme fatigue. Soon nausea, dizziness, nearly every day heart rate fluctuations and blood pressure fluctuations enter the picture. Over the last two months everything has become basically constant. He has buddy vision, inflammation in the eyes, all the above… lately his whole body feels numb and he feels very weak. He’s been to a cardiologist, multiple general practitioners, a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, and to the ER 5 times over the last few weeks. All they want to do is treat him with anxiety. His blood work is fine. All CTS/MRIs fine. He does have an appointment with a rheumatologist but not for a couple of months. The stress of all this is really killing us both. I guess I’m just looking for suggestions of things to try or anyone who may have experienced something similar. I’m at a loss. I can’t help him and seeing him this way is awful. I’m worried about his mental health as much as his physical now as he can’t seem to even leave the house.
