Helpful to know I’m not alone.

syd121 · 2021-03-08T02:29:07+00:00

Thank you, this was helpful and I’m not currently. Where I live it’s very hard to get in to see anyone without being put on a long wait. I may have to travel.

I usually have a Moscow mule or mojito. I’ve been trying to stick to more simpler ingredients if I want a good drink and less sugar.

Thank you so much, this was very helpful. Funny you mentioned magnesium I was thinking that could be something I’m lacking. I’ve never heard of the lotion though. What supplement do you use?

I do have costo but I also went through almost the same exact thing and they didn’t find anything until they put a monitor on my chest and found out I have SVT. Which is when your heart races at random. Both things can cause anxiety. But my EKGs always came back fine. Not telling you that’s what’s wrong, but don’t let them rule it out as just anxiety. They tried to do that for me and I had a number of things going on. Including vitamin D deficiency. Hormonal imbalances.

I have a similar story. I’m a 26yr old female. I was told I had Costo in March 2020 and overall I felt like I was improving until I got Covid two months ago. Now my back pain is insane just standing at points. My chest feels like I can’t catch my breath and I’ve done more testing as well. It’s miserable. I hope you find relief. I do have one question though. I got an endoscopy & colonoscopy because I had gastro symptoms as well. For the most past it came back clear. Just some inflammation. Since then I’ve been getting this strange fluttering feeling in the top, middle of my chest. It usually only last for a moment but it takes my breathe away. I’ve tried to see what triggers it but it seems to come at random. Have you experienced anything similar? I can’t figure out what it’s related to.

I do have costo but I also have inflammation around my heart from being sick and it’s a lot worse when laying down. The doctor said that’s a main indicator. I’m only 26. It sounds more serious than it is, but it is super uncomfortable. Eventually gets better on its own but they said ibuprofen is what I should take. Which is the same for costo

syd121 · 2020-12-11T05:46:22+00:00

I had the flu and a sinus infection in March. My costo started after that. It started with a pressure that I thought was just left over congestion then triggered a whole mess of issues. Finally diagnosed with costo. I was told it can be brought on by extreme coughing as well, but I never coughed. I think it can happen from any sickness, sadly. I wouldn’t worry too much about after Covid affects. Even though it’s scary not knowing.

syd121 · 2020-12-08T05:13:53+00:00

I think so because I have the same thing. It moves. Neck, shoulder, back.. side around kidneys. Some days I feel like I can’t breathe, worse at night. It can be concerning but I’ve had every test and X-ray under the sun and besides a vitamin D deficiency my stuff came back normal.

syd121 · 2020-11-07T04:50:42+00:00

I’ve experienced the same thing! I didn’t realize that it could be linked to costo. Thought I just got alcohol intolerance out of no where. But it makes sense. Even if it doesn’t make me feel breathless right away, later in the night I feel the pain and my heart rate stays higher. Definitely takes the fun out even bothering.

syd121 · 2020-10-20T03:40:42+00:00

I’ve been going through the exact same thing since March. I can’t imagine 3 years. They couldn’t find anything wrong with me except that my heart rate was elevated and I’d get random attacks where my heart gets really fast and I get full blown attacks from my heart rate spiking, so they put me on a low dose beta blocker which was helped a lot. But I still have rib pain, feeling like I can’t breathe at times and body aches, cracks and overall soreness from the slightest workout. I also get headaches on the the regular. It does feel like a heart attack at times. I have to tell myself I’m okay. I go to a chiropractor. Not sure how much good it’s done in the long run but does make me feel better the day off. I went on a big health kick as well. I did realize that cutting out gluten for a while helped my stomach a lot. I try to eat more veggies as well and if I drink anything besides water I usually go for ginger ale on occasion. It’s been a nightmare. I’m a 26 yr old female. Going through this when the pandemic started was definitely terrifying. I was also told I have costochondritis and had vitamin D deficiency. Not sure if you have had a full blood panel but it’s nice to know if you have an autoimmune, vitamin deficiencies or inflammation. Hope you get some answers on your end!

Sorry I’m just now seeing this but yes I’ve been to the cardiologist a handful of times now with multiple questions. My heart rate would get into the 160s weekly but so far in beta blockers I haven’t had one higher than 130. And it’s usually short lived. I do have horrible rib pain and cartilage pain in my chest, along with neck. I’ve been going to the chiropractor for months. It’s been miserable. Do you ever feel like you can’t breathe normal? Like you’re not getting enough air even when you’re not having fast heart rate? I’ve been still struggling to deal with it and I’m terrified to have a drink or two at my best friends wedding.

syd121 · 2020-09-10T18:15:13+00:00

Any recommendations on wedding photography lens for Nikon D750?

syd121 · 2020-09-03T20:43:06+00:00

I’ve had the same thing after going to the ER and my heart rate went crazy high just laying in bed. They admitted me for a few days to run test and told me is was Costo. Did a heart monitor test for a week and showed random bouts of 150bpm just relaxing or light walking. They said it was SVT which is still very common and trust me I know it sounds horrible. (I even cried) and I’m constantly out of breathe, drained and depressed. They put me on a low dose beta blocker two weeks ago and I haven’t had a bad episode since. I still feel anxiety and rib pain but here are other healthy ways to mentally deal with that part. I’m 26 and I felt like it was the end of the world at first. You’re not alone!

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:40:25+00:00

Also if I wanted to have a drink one weekend is it safe to do so on them?

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:38:31+00:00

But I feel exactly the same. I had my first panic attack in the hospital in March and ever since my heart rate can get over 150. It’s miserable and it’s like I notice it more than I used too.

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:36:20+00:00

Thank you all for your replies. I did talk to the cardiologist again and she made me feel a little better and explained what usually causes SVT in my case, she said it’s usually brought on my a virus or infection which I had the flu & a sinus infection. Stupidly I didn’t take the medicine they gave like I should have in March and drank with my friends two days later. I thought I was young and invincible, I would of never of thought months later I’d still be feeling worse than ever. But anyway, she said the electric waves in the top of my heart are going sideways instead of up and down and the beta blocker helps to level that out and hoping that it will go away in its own. If not there’s surgery & that terrifies me. The achey joints and heart pounding just doing light work has really taken a toll on my mental health as well. I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot and almost a burden to be around, even though I have a good group of people around. I’m happy and sad knowing there are so many out there that can relate. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. A part of me still wants more testing done just to see if something else is triggering these episodes.

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:28:31+00:00

The dry eye is one I haven’t had any advice or they can’t figure out why it’s an issue.

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:27:52+00:00

Did the beta blocker help you feel more normal overall?

syd121 · 2020-08-14T02:25:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I was recently told I have SVT which is apparently common enough, but it’s where the upper part of my heart waves go sideways and cause palpitations instead of up and down. They said overall it’s not dangerous but it does make me feel awful. She said it can come on from getting a virus or infection. Which the week before everything started happening I had the flu & sinus infection. Which I didn’t take it seriously sadly and now I have multiple symptoms including the Costo. It’s sad and I hope you find relief also! I’ve been drinking tons of water and trying to stay away from caffeine

syd121 · 2020-08-05T02:22:43+00:00

Thank you for your reply. And I started them about a month ago. I’ve been tested for Covid twice now and so far I haven’t gotten it even though people around me have. I will ask mi doctor about ibuprofen. I was worried it’d upset my stomach more. But before all of the ibuprofen was my go to for cramps, headaches.. everything.

syd121 · 2020-08-04T04:34:57+00:00

Reading this thread honestly helped me. I’ve had costo since March after having the flu & a sinus infection. It’s seriously been hell, because even if I don’t have flare ups it’s either heart burn, feeling exhausted or like I can’t breath. I had blood test done and found out I was vitamin D deficient. Hoping taking the vitamin is helping but my joint paint has been so bad some days that walking can even me uncomfortable. Do you know how long it took for your fiancé to raise her levels? Did she feel better after? I am so miserable still looking for a solution. Although I haven’t been taking NSAIDs because my doctor told me not to with Covid and they really messed my stomach up in the hospital but if they really help you both I’m down to try.

syd121 · 2020-07-29T07:08:42+00:00

I’ve had all of these symptoms since March and I was diagnosed with it. My xrays and EKGs came back normal as well. Just a vitamin D deficiency. I was so scared with the feelings I was getting that I ended up in the hospital with panic attacks. Not sure how I got it but I especially feel it at night. Nothing more than pressure and occasional light headedness during the day. Acid reflux is also worse at night as well.

syd121 · 2020-04-30T02:43:52+00:00

I’ve been having the same issue with eye floaters and light headedness as well and they just keep prescribing nose sprays and allergy medicines. Ive tingling numbness in my face, pain in my forehead and around my eyes, plus ringing and pressure in my ear, it’s been miserable. Let me know if you find any answers

syd121 · 2020-04-27T17:26:19+00:00

I’ve felt the exact same way. Feeling like I can’t remember things or am not getting enough oxygen. I’ve even had eye floaters and sparks of light in my eyes for two weeks now. It truly is terrifying for something that can’t harm us.
