Could Tachycardia, Tingling In Arms And Mood Swings Be Due To Hormonal Changes?
I have been having random problems lately but have just pushed it off as hormonal changes and not thought anything about it until recently. I m 20 years old and my moods have been through the roof. I can be laughing and extremely happy one day and biting someone s head off the next. This has all occurred recently. I m not bipolar, etc. My period was 9 days late this month and lighter than normal. Its usually extremely heavy. It ended Friday and yesterday I ended up in the ER with extreme tachycardia and tingling in both arms with 3 near-syncope episodes. Doctors pushed it off as anxiety yet I ve been out of school for 2 months and under zero stress. I ve also gained 30 pounds in the last 6 weeks and i exercise and eat healthy CONSTANTLY. I know this all sounds random but I know there is something going on. Thyroid levels are perfect so I m leaning toward PCOS or low progesterone. Any suggestions or thoughts as to whats going on?

Hi,
The symptoms you have mentioned are symptoms of hormonal imbalance. These symptoms get triggered by birth control pills, addictions like smoking, caffeine, alcohol, etc.
Other causes that may cause you such symptoms are thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, ovary cancer, POI (primary ovarian insufficiency), congenital heart disease or developing pathology in the heart.
Visit ER, get examined & evaluated to rule out any developing thyroid or heart disease.
You may need HRT or help of a counselor/psychiatrist. In the meantime maintain healthy lifestyle, stay away from addictions, do regular exercises, avoid stress/anxiety.
Get treated at the earliest, take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
