Struggling...aren't we all ha!
Hi im back again looking for any help you can give. Sorry for the lenth here. Doctors dismiss me when i discuss b12 deficiency and won't give me an mma blood test but ive been struggling bad for coming up to 5 months so I want other people's thoughts please. I'll summarise...
Symptoms
Dizziness almost constantly for 4 months is the main symptom.
Tingling, sometimes pins and needles in arms, legs and face (sometimes tongue) scares me the most.
Fatigue
Timeline
Bad gastritis 9th November for 5 weeks
Prescribed omeprazole 14th Nov for 2 weeks.
Had a Migraine with aura and slurred speech 25th November and 18th December (severe ended up A&E having ct scan - clear)
Blood tests 20th Jan - notable results.
Folate 24
B12 534
Iron -16.8
Ferritin 124.
Mri scan late January- clear. Neurologist diagnosed migraine with brainstem aura and said symptoms would clear.
Prescribed propranolol. Tingling eased but dizziness stayed
Ecg - late April- abnormal showing bradycardia,hr of 48. 24h follow up ordered
Told to stop propranolol, tapered off over a week and now 5 days fully off and tingling and numbness returned with a vengeance almost hard to swallow.
Im awaiting results of the 24h heart holster and have some more bloods arranged for next week but think these are a repeat of earlier bloods.
I just want to know where to go from here and what people would do in my position.
I'm at the stage of almost praying for a deficiency to show so I can start treatment.
I have anxiety but I recognise the difference in this and the symptoms I list.
Also to note I also had a similar spell of dizziness in 2022 aftwr taking a different PPI lanzoprazole but this cleared after a few days.
I usually get 1 or 2 migraines a year not two in a month.
Thanks for reading
