Hello Everyone,

I am aware that a doctor may not be reading this thread and I am only hoping someone here has had the same symptoms I will be describing and found out what was the cause. 

My granddaughter stopped breast feeding and shortly thereafter  started feeling very dizzy, nauseated, weak and shaky.  This has been going on a month and it is so bad she is afraid to drive and has lost weight from her already lean body.  She has gone to her GP, ER, cardiologist to see if she had POTS, endocronologist, where test results are not in yet and they said it would be early April before they had the results!

Question, do these symptoms sound familiar to you and did you find out the cause? 

I appreciate your kind input.  I am so worried about this dear granddaughter.

This sounds serious and you should be seeking MEDICAL advice.

You may have missed this in the post:  Her daughter has gone to Dr, ER and Cardiologist and is awaiting the results which may not be available until early April.

 

The mother of the daughter is obviously very anxious for her daughter and is looking for any temporary, compassionate support here.  Doctors / Medical advice is in progress.

My very first thought reading her symptoms plus weight loss makes me think diabetes.

I suggest she find a naturopath in her area.

Yes, Redtop, that was my first thought.

The Endo would have caught that. Actually any doctor would have if they took blood.

OP said that results from the Endo are not in yet.

@Calcgirl   Have they checked her thyroid?

Your granddaughter should be seeing a doctor- not waiting for you to hear responses from someone w / similar symptoms!
