I just receive my blood tests results and some of them are borderline low, low or high and I wonder if it can be linked to the extreme anxiety disorder I have right now?
First Vit D level is low, testosterone free level is also low at 2 and need 4 or more, shgb sex hormone binding is very high with 140 and normal are usually between 7 and 70. The monocytes are high who can mean infection. Calcium is low, liver enzymes are borderline high the ast-atl particularly, I had 2 intestinal obstructions and 1 bile duct obstruction in 2011...
My symptoms are mainly psychosomatic anxiety with chronic physical symptoms like headache with facial and jaw pain, extreme fatigue, insomnia, chest pain with tachycardia and lot of palpitations, low blood pressure with dizziness and vertigo and orthostaric hypotension with sometimes high blood pressure especially if I leave my house, I have also intestine pain with cramps, bloating, constipation who don't resolve with laxatives use, have general anxiety, do around 5 to 10 panic attacks a day, have social phobia, many simple phobias like being in a car or stay alone at home, feel very agitated all the time, eyes pain, tremors and muscles pain and general weakness, overall I feel very bad and I'm homebound and have no energy at all and I'm completely paralyze by all the anxiety I feel inside me.
My meds are 7 mg of Klonopin a day who do nothing at all for my anxiety anymore and lead to rebound anxiety between each dose, take 20 to 30 mg of propranolol each day, take 50 000 units of vitamin D each day, 30 000 units of vitamin A each day, 1 strong centrum multivitamins, 600 mg of omega 3, since I had a gastric by pass to loose weight 11 years ago I have to take those vitamins each day at rhose strong dose. I dont take the calium 500 mg as im suppose to take since its making the stools even harder and same for the iron 300 mg day that I dont take either cause it worse the constiparion. I take 30 mg of Prevacid fast tab to prevent heartburn but it stop working recently. And cant take any orher meds since I'm med sensitive now...
My iron level is normal, same for the hemoglobin, vitamin b12 is high so no anemia...
Any ideas about what mean my blood results tests? The testosterone free was high last year and now it's very low and he shgb was normal and now it's double the normal amount! I read it can be from a testicular cancer, mental anorexia? Also for the liver enzymes, they are not above upper limit but near it, so normal but not so normal... And the monocytes? I don't have an infection so I don't understand why it's high?
My Doc think that magnesium injections will help me with the anxiety and some physical symptoms but my magnesium level is in the normal middle range. He also think I may have bad bacteria in the intestine who lead to the intestine pain and think some Flagyl will help? I took some Flagyl often in the past between 2003 and 2007 to control the diarrhea I had at the time and the intestine pain and it was magical to stop the pain but had little effect on the diarrhea, since I have constipation now I think the Flagyl can be a good option, of course followed with probiotic supplements after the 10 days treatment.
