I feel "odd"

[jampots]

Today (esp this evening) Ive been feeling a bit strange and jittery. Also a bit like I might pass out but not dizzy (If that makes sense) and feel a little short of breath. I have a heart prob (mitral valve prolapse) but have no symptoms and I guess Im a little worried in case this is the start of things to come. I was discharged from my consultant 12 years ago just after dd was born so havent seen anyone since and have never been on drugs etc. Does anyone experience these things too? and if so, what is it?

Hello jampots, sounds like you may have this sorted already but have you ever had your thyroid function tested? Palpitations, breathlessness, weight gain/loss, 'jitteriness', feeling too hot/cold are all classic symptoms. Might be worth asking your GP as it is only a simple blood test.

Your thyroid controls a lot of your brain chemistry so can make you fell and act very strange when it's not working properly - I was very jumpy and paranoid with my overactive gland!! It did make me very skinny though

i had my thyroid tested a couple of years ago and it was apparently ok. My gp is not very supportive when i visit about my weight in fact she insisted i had appetite suppressants last time i went even though I HAVE NO APPETITE!!!

I am making another appt though and plan to go with list of symptoms and possible diagnosis in hand
