September 18, 201412 yr Here is the rundown: I have been experiencing a feeling of my heart beat pounding harder than usual. At times accompanied with light headedness or a "low blood sugar like" headache. It's very periodic and not always. EKG came back normal. Blood work normal except I have a low iron count. I don't know for sure, but it seems like it happens after I eat more often than other times. I do have GI issues but they don't seem to be occurring simultaneously. Any thought on what it could possibly be?

September 18, 201412 yr Author If anything happens to you, the guru can give you mouth to mouth. You have doc in your name! I expect credible guidance here! What's the copay?

Curiously, the symptoms seem to mimic those experienced during orgasm.
September 18, 201412 yr You have doc in your name! I expect credible guidance here! What's the copay? Does your family have any history of diabetes? papa is right. Fasting blood sugar test is pretty simple.

September 18, 201412 yr You remember those symptoms from 25 years ago? I'm old, but I ain't dead.:lol:
September 19, 201412 yr Does this mean we have to start calling a certain someone "Daddy" Holy crap! For her sake I hope you are wrong.

Any thought on what it could possibly be? What are your B12 levels???? Starting in April I was feeling my heart beat pounding harder than usual, headaches, and really tired. Then one day in late June I thought I was having a heart-attack. Went to the ER and come to find out my hemoglobin level was 6 (normal is 13-16), the ER doctor told me he was shocked I was still alive. :scared: My heart was pumping twice has fast to circulate what little blood I had in my body. I had to get 4 pints of blood and come to find out I have Pernicious Anemia. Pernicious Anemia is a type of vitamin B12 anemia. The body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. You get this vitamin from eating foods such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products. A special protein, called intrinsic factor (IF), helps your intestines absorb vitamin B12. This protein is released by cells in the stomach. When the stomach does not make enough intrinsic factor, the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B12. A normal B12 level is between 200-900, mine was 49. Besides taking a B12 supplement I have to get a B12 shot every two weeks....for the rest of my life!
