What are your babesia symptoms? Is babesia more likely to cause air hunger or can it also cause exertional shortness of breath?

Hi everyone. Just curious if anyone else had a normal b12 level on bloodwork and ended up still having a deficiency. My b12 is 700. My worst symptoms are severe pots, shortness of breath, & heat intolerance.

Hi everyone. I’ve asked this question before but I want to ask again because I feel so alone and am so terrified but who else has SEVERE shortness of breath like so bad to the point you can’t exert what so ever? Can’t do stairs? Nothing. Also have super high heart rate with any little amount of exertion? I’ve had low ferritin for ten years between 5-20. I’ve been supplementing for many months now and my ferritin went up to 48 but I didn’t notice any improvements at all. Checked my ferritin again and it’s down to 34 😞 I’m completely housebound/ bedbound due to these symptoms. I’ve had pots for many years now but never had this shortness of breath before so im thinking low ferritin finally caught up with me. Is it normal to be this bad? (Yes I’ve been to ER, and cardiologist and had anything serious ruled out) I’m so hopeless.

Hi everyone. I’m new here. I’ve been dealing with a long list of chronic illnesses for the last 9 years but I have worsening of certain symptoms so extreme I’ve never experienced it to this degree before and someone said it might be graves. My worst symptoms are severe POTS (high heart rate and especially high with any amount of exertion, I’m completely bedbound/housebound) severe shortness of breath and again it’s worse with any exertion. Stairs in my house absolutely kill me. (I’ve had low ferritin for ten years along with pots but never had this shortness of breath before) and then extreme heat intolerance so bad to the point I can’t be in sun or heat for even one minute without getting extremely sick (low bp, pounding racing heart, nausea, panic, weakness, neurological symptoms, stroke like symptoms) the heat intolerance isn’t me over heating/ sweating a lot btw. All the basic thyroid labs are normal (tsh, free t4, t3, reverse t3) Could this be graves? Anyone have these symptoms? Thank you.
