[QUOTE="First.Officer, post: 2078442, member: 501885"] Hi all, many thanks for replies thus far..... Further to earlier, i had a visit to doctors yesterday (booked a month in advance!!) to go over my issues with dizziness, tinnitus and head pressure. Sadly due to the way i feel and what i perceive as a lack of action over the past few months, i was somewhat confrontational with the GP in question (which is actually very unlike me) as thus far i have had to spend a fair amount of money to get various issues 'struck off' the list of possible causes, as the NHS revolves at a very, very slow rate and that's if there is deemed to be enough symptomatic evidence to justify tests, which i can understand to a degree. This issue for me now is making daily life awful, and has done for a few months now. Definitely anxiety is involved to a degree but that is not the reason for the issues i am having i am quite certain. Now, i am wondering if anyone out there knows of a friendly and knowledgeable endocrinologist that i might be able to contact to discuss symptoms and try and find the solution - because its not happening at my GP surgery for sure (ENT referral being enacted but this will take a long time i am sure) and despite trying to rattle off all symptoms and issues, i was told that i only have 10 minutes and seems there is a number limitation to the issues you can discuss in one sitting. I have noticed a marked improvement in symptoms if i consume lots of carby food, namely wraps and crisps, kit kat (being playing for a week or so now). If i don't play with the carbs, i tend to sit anywhere from 3.4 mol/mmol to 4.6 mol/mmol prior to eating in the last few days, and after 1 / 2 / 3 hours, my levels may get up to 6.5, but invariably are back down to 5.6-ish within the 2-3 hour timeframe. I have noticed that sometimes i have a 'hoarseness' to my voice every day or two for 20 mins or so, comes and goes (didn't get to communicate that to GP in time frame allowed), and a 'full' feeling in lower throat, but this may be just down to the fact that i have read in the past about thyroid issues (history in family). No thinning of hair or eyebrows, just the former symptoms along with what feels like confusion/fog and the fact that my personality seems to be different at times. This tends to peak at times, and wain at others. Any comments and/or thoughts gratefully received, as i have no ideas left..... [/QUOTE]
