Hello !
I went through your question carefully . I understand your concern.
There are many points in your situation that need to pay attention. The lost weight and frequent diarreas can cause
nutritional deficiency , causing your memory problems. There are some main disorders that may be the cause of your problems.
A
hyperthyroidism can cause this clinical situation , so I would strongly reccomend thyroid hormones analysis to rule this out. This would explain also the hot flashes.
A rare disorder , called pheocromocytoma , which is a
tumor of the surenal gland can cause similar troubles. I would like to know if you have measured your blood pressure during your troubles. If these episodes are associated with
high blood pressure and
tachycardia I would recommend the analysis of metanephrines in your urine, to exclude this disorder.
Another point would be a
food intolerance like
gluten intolerance, so you should also be checked for anti-gliadine antibody. But this would be exceptional at this age, as it begins since childhood.
If all the above tests result normal, a neurological evaluation and a head MRI would be neccessary.
Hope to have been of help!
Thank you for using HCM!
