Hi everyone,
So I don’t have diabetes and am undiagnosed. But feel my symptoms are close enough that this might be the place to post my question. I feel at the end of my rope and would love any info if anyone has any.
My symptoms are similar enough to diabetes or some sort of metabolic disease that I think it’s worth investigating but I’m losing hope in ever finding out what’s wrong. I’ve been sick for 13 years. My main symptoms are heart related but there’s so much more.
Symptoms: my heart palpitates and races if I eat any carb. I mean if a banana so much as touches my tongue my heart starts skipping beats. If I drink a sip of juice...heart palpitates. If I drink diet soda: no palpitation. I just ate breakfast...eggs I was fine, bites of potato and my heart palpitates and skipped beats. About fifteen minutes after eating my heart will race very badly with chest pains for about half an hour. My blood pressure during these times is generally very low. But I feel very generally unwell.
I go through separate periods where I become very, very ill. I believe in those times I am in Ketoacidosis. The reason is because my symptoms match it perfectly and I am off the charts with ketones in my urine. I am not just feeling unwell...I feel like I’m knocking on death’s door...I can’t get enough water to the point I’m panicking but I stop peeing even though I’m drinking litre after litre. My urine at that point is maybe a couple ounces in a day and it is bright orange and almost looks syrupy. My blood pressure raises in this time. My heart won’t feel great but it isn’t as bad as when I’m not getting these symptoms.
The confusing part is my glucose is always fine! E.r doctors assume I’m a diabetic when I come in because of ketones and symptoms but when glucose comes back normal they scratch their head and send me home on deaths door. I’m so confused and feel hopeless. I get many other symptoms but it’s just too much to type...I’m unfunctional right now. If I eat or move my body my heart goes insane and I feel like I’m dying but doctors aren’t helping me. Does this sound like anyone’s experience?? Thank you for listening!
