Hi everyone, I’m 22 and I have been feeling "weird" and sick every single day for months. I feel so incredibly alone and desperate to find anyone who understands what I am going through.
My daily baseline is a constant feeling of dizziness, "slow" or tired eyes, neck pain, and severe acid reflux/stomach burning. But every so often, I get these sudden, terrifying waves that hit me out of nowhere (especially in public places like Walmart or when I’m driving).
During these episodes, it feels like:
A heavy, full feeling in my throat and chest (almost like someone is pulling on my heart).
A wave of intense nausea that stays in my upper body/chest.
A sudden drop/rush of adrenaline that makes me feel like I’m going to pass out or die.
A weird, disconnected feeling in my head.
I went to the ER and had a 14-day cardiac event monitor. My heart structure is completely healthy, and they told me it's just "sinus tachycardia" (fast heart rate) and anxiety. I was prescribed Zoloft, but it hasn't stopped these physical waves at all. I've noticed my symptoms get significantly worse right around my period, and my heart rate jumps way up (sometimes to 150+) just from walking up stairs or standing. On my bad days, I even get tingling/burning sensations in my arms and fingers.
Has anyone else experienced this exact combination of throat heaviness, upper body nausea, and daily dizziness? Did it turn out to be dysautonomia, POTS, vagus nerve irritation from GI issues, or something else? I don't know what to do next or how to get my doctors to take this daily "weirdness" seriously. Any advice or shared experiences would mean the world to me. Thank you.

Hi! i’m 22 years old and have gained so much weight over the years, where my chronic illness makes it extremely difficult to take it off. I have never taken any form of glp1 and i’ve seen so much about how “gray market” is terrible. So please give me advice!!

Being chronically ill has ruined mine and my almost one year olds life

Since two months after my son i have been facing constant dizziness, nausea, reflux, headaches, and severe depression and i have been unable to work. I’m a single mom and get money monthly from the state, 400 to be exact.

Before this all started I was working a great job and was making decent money but now that i can’t work it’s tearing me apart. I feel like a terrible mom.

I had originally planned to have my son’s birthday party this month on the 10th but now I am cancelling it because I can’t afford it. I can’t even afford to buy him a present.

My family is all being rude to me about it even my brother saying he’s not coming if it’s not that day because he has another trip planned and my sister saying that’s the day she requested off and is now going to have to change. I haven’t stopped crying.

I have been selling some of my things but all of my money goes to bills and my rent. What do i do? How can i find something I will actually be able to do 😭 I feel like a terrible mom and it tears me to pieces. I don’t deserve to be a mother. He deserves so much better than me… If anyone knows of easy side hustles i could do please 🙏

I have been suffering with chronic illness (vestibular migraines, dysautonomia) for 10 months now and I am very interested in going into phlebotomy even though my body probably will react a little bit. I want to do something that’s meaningful to me and I feel like I’m more depressed at home, and I would love to help my fiancé out with expenses so reassure me, I really wanna do this, but I don’t wanna let myself down with my symptoms.
