Just curious....
I've been having issues....still...with my abdomen. I am really bloated in my calves, tummy and even forearms. I can't take diuretics cos I have gout. Dr. said it wouldn't help in the tummy anyways. My tummy is always hard even when I wake up in the morning.
I have never had my forearms swell. They aren't hugely swollen, but enough to cause discomfort.
My other symptoms are: light headed, nausea,discomfort to lay on tummy (so much so that I took a prego test again..it's still way negative thank god!) heartburn off and on in like 20 minute bouts, swelling like a puffer fish, grouchy, headaches, pounding heart (although this was after walking up a flight of stairs, it still freaked me out)
I am not a hypochondriac but I have a simular thing....I am terrfired of being ill and terrified of dying young...so I try to diagnose myself and it just makes my hysterical side even worse. Dr. Google can't help me this time so I am wondering what you guys think it could possibly be.
Could this all just be terrible freaking pms????? or does it sound more like congestive heart failure, or wheat intolerance? (my 2 best guesses)
I know I sound like a nut case, lol, but I'm not...I really do have all these crap symptoms, and the medical side of things is run differently here. I haven't have my blood pressure taken since I left the hospital in Feb. And as someone on meds for it, I would think they would at least check it once in a while!!!!
