Question: I am a 34 yr old female. I do drink and smoke but I am a Healthy eater. I am overweight I was 220 lbs at 5'9" when my problems started 4 months ago and I'm currently 214 lbs now. Within the last month I have cut back on unhealthy habits and have lost a few pounds. I currently drink 6 beers a night and smoke 1 1/2 packs a day.
I had a pacemaker put in 9 years ago because my heart rate was around 15-20 bpm even when I was active. Nobody new why. My blood test we're normal at that time.
4 months ago I started getting a pain under my left breast in the rib cage, dizziness, slight headaches, and chest pain which led to I guess panic attacks. I have been to the ER 3 times and my BP is high but lowers over a few hours of being in the hospital they have checked for blood clots, ekg, chest exrays everything is fine. I recently saw a primary physician for the first time and while my first visit started panicking so I forgot to tell her all my symptoms. My BP was high at the office so she prescribed lisinipril. It took a week for me to get it because it was not called in. Within that week I would check my BP and it was 125/80 when I was relaxed. I called the office back and told them about my loose stools and they said I had fatty liver diagnosed from high white blood cell count from when I was in the ER. I was also complaining of fatigue and seeing spots, the primary ordered cmp, cbc and thyroid test. The thyroid came back normal but my rbc -5.19, hemoglobin-15.6, hemotocrit-46.2, alt -30, my homocysteine was 12.3 and + for 1 copy of c677t variant in a blood test performed in 2015 when I was complaining of tingling and numbness in my feet which is worse now. The primary is still pushing the lisinipril because when I went for a follow up today my BP was 160/110 at the office she was not concerned with the blood work because I am still smoking. When I got home my BP was 135/90 after unloading the car. I feel worse now then when my heart rate was at 15 bpm can the blood test results be causing any of this?
