Hi , read your post with great interest but sorry you are suffering.
Have you been tested for Primary Hyperaldosteronism or Conns syndrome ,you have some of the same symptoms.?
Also pheochromocytoma?
Both can cause anxiety like States because they affect adrenal glands by overproducing certain hormones.
Diagnosis is by blood tests and scans, wishing you all the best.

I have not been tested for anything in regards to my adrenal glands, hormones, anything. I believe these tests will be happening at tomorrows appt. My doctor is considering just about everything right now. I’ve been journaling my symptoms each day and the more I look over everything, the more I am leaning towards hyperPOTS and possibly MCAS (unexplained hives over the last several months, red marks left over from minor contact on my skin, facial flushing). I know there will be many appointments for me coming up in the near future and I’m just trying to keep my mental health stable during everything.

I’ve also been dealing with digestion issues that have landed me in the ER for fluids twice in the last week. This morning I’ve been able to eat a slice of gluten free toast and an egg, within two hours of each other. Meet with the gastroenterologist next week to test for delayed emptying but I’m not super thrilled about it.
