Quote From: mommiebotWhy do they do that? Do they hear so many whiny, please -give-me-pills patients that they just stop listening to everyone? I don't want pills. I want to know if it is physical first. The Adrenal glands on top of the kidneys produce a lot of hormones, some affect heart rhythm,rate. Others like adrenalin and cortisol have to do with stress reaction and mood and metabolism. I have told my doctors that I have a "rock" in my left kidney when pressed, and sometimes it throbs and hurts to the point I get nauseated. And what hormones do they continue to test? My THYROID! It's like ,if it isn't your thyroid , you need a shrink. They wont even check for kidney stones. Crap I'd be afraid to go in for hemorrhoid removal, you'd probable get your foot amputated.
I'm just going to keep complaining about it maybe one of my docs will hear me eventually. Either that or I'm going to exaggerate a little and hit the ER next time it happens.
Try to have a good day.

OMG isn't that the truth! I tell ya, it really scares me to think that about my doctor, especially when it's about my heart. My dad died of a massive heart attack at 66 and he also had a heart attack in his 30's, so heart problems run in my family and so does high BP, my mom has serevere high blood pressure. I wish I knew how to get through and be heard. Thanks again for listening and replying, it truly, truly means a lot. Have a wonderful day and remember, when one door closes, God always opens a window.
Best Regards,
