Diagnosis?

[JKurz1]

I often have a burning pain in my stomach and lower back which could be attributed to overuse. However, my hands, feet and face are always freezing and sometimes numb. Plus, at the end of the day, my feet and ankles are very swollen (and I sit all day for the most part). Light headedness is common.

What could this be from? I am on 150mg of prop a week for HRT. Could it be due to overtraining? Severe weight loss? Thanks fellas.

1. Make SURE you see a doctor.

2. The cold hands/feet and numbness sound like it could be low blood pressure. Not sure about the swollen ankles. Again, make sure you see a doc.

p.s. I hope the 150mg for HRT is not prescribed by yourself.

I am not a doctor, from what I know about diabetes those symptoms are very common with it. Low blood pressure can also cause you to be cold on the farthest ends of your body. If you are diabetic or even slighly diabetic, messing with your test levels and your thyroid can not be a good thing.

Good Luck

I saw my doc, here's what he said "Boy, your blood pressure is low!! You are going to live a long life, that's fantastic."

That's what was said. Are there neg. effect to being on HRT with these symptoms? I would think it could only help out the situation.

I doubt at age 29, I can now have diabetes. My sugar intake has always been incredibly low, no junk, booze, etc........

You never answered the question of whether the HRT was medically supervised.

Face coldness and numbness and ankle edema and postural light-headedness, in a 29 year old person with no concomitant medical conditions has warning bells going off in my head.

If your current physician is not willing to take these symptoms seriously please contact a neurologist yourself.

All symptoms to be taken seriously at any age especially 29. Any doctor that says "Boy your blood pressure is low. You are going to live a long life, that's fantastic!" with those symptoms is suspect to me....Now listen to your musclemom and get checked out by someone other than your doctor.

Fairly confident it's due to lack of cals, and ANXIETY....Hell, I used to weigh a lean 225, now, after training for a Tri, I'm 180.......

How about you make sure and go see a doc?

Like musclemom said...you didn't answer the question about your 'HRT' being medically supervised. Too many people on EF think they're health experts because they know how to gain muscle and lower bodyfat.

Are you avoiding the question on the testosterone? Prop for HRT is a peculiar choice.

I do not tell people to seek medical attention lightly. You are obviously abusing your body, if you were a lean 225 before and are now 45 pounds less than that, and you're training for a physically gruelling test? Why are you dieting down? What the heck are you trying to accomplish???

Ruining your health is what you're doing, if not killing yourself. You'll be lucky if you don't keel over in the middle of the triathalon from a heart attack (do you think I'm joking? How fast did you lose that 45???)

Lightheadness and coldness in your extremities and face could potentially indicate central nervous system problems, peripheral nervous system problems, autonomic dysfunction, or early pulmonary problems; compounded with hypotension and edema, IMO, these are very bad symptoms in a person in the prime of life who should be in peak physical condition, and I don't give a crap if you do sit at your desk all day! I'm 41 years old, certainly not in the physical condition you should be in, I sit at a desk for over 8 hours a day every day and have since I was 27, and I never have fluid collecting in my legs or ankles.

You're playing with fire.

I'm done ...

Do you have any history of diabetes? Have you ever been checked for having diabetes?

Any symptoms of severe increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, increased hunger?

Been through all the tests and I am clean...YES<YES<YES - HRT was prescribed for my natural low test.....born with the deficiency. The only drugs I take are some supplements, and ephedrine HCL, which could be the root......I also have been taking 1/2 of a vicodine for 3 days since I had my wisdom teeth out.......prob. will become dependent on them, lol.......

Dude, you always ask questions and never entertain the thoughts and opinions that are given to you...Or you dismiss what people say as incorrect. It's really fucking annoying. So realize you don't know everything and listen or don't post.
