Ok. So here we go. I'm basically on here to try an figure out what's wrong me. I've had about 50 doctor visits in the last year and a half and none can tell me what's going on with body - brain.
It all started when I had what I call a "eye stroke"? A curtain slowly came down over my eyes and then came back up, all within it say about 10 sec.. All at the same time I felt a tingling sensation up the back of back where I often feel dull tension headaches.
Well, that scared the shit out me.
Up until that point I had been taken a supplement by the name of "Zantrex Black"
In obscene amounts per day. I'm talking 3 pills 3 times a day for around 3 years. That's equivalent to about 1000 to 1200 mgs of caffeine (from Guarana) and other stimulants I'm sure. Why I did I take them you might ask? Well at first I was using it to get more energy to loose weight and get in shape, which I did. But after a while I had built up such a tolerance to it that I had to take them just to get through the day. Just like an addicted drug. I really feel that these
pills screwed something up in my nervous system. I used to be able to drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day and never bother me. But now even if I have a few sips my blood pressure rises and I get dizzy and pressure in the back of head and neck. I went to the doc and told him about my blood pressure which really isn't that high when it goes up, but even when it gets to 120/ over 80 I start getting those migraines or tightness in my head.
The only thing I notice that helps is taking my
blood pressure med. I'm on azilsartan which is an arb. I believe it blocks my body from producing angiotensin 2 what causes the fight or flight response from the release of adrenaline. Anyway I'm rambling on. But has anyone experienced or has know anyone who has possibly gone through anything like this? I would really live to hear some feedback. I've been trying to go off the blood pressure meds. Thanks to everyone on this site.
