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.

It looks like you have alot going on at the moment with your health.
Is your BP high?
The delayed emptying of stomach test isn't so bad if you can tolerate the oral medicine.
I hope you get some answers soon, have been in your position and can appreciate the frustration with it all.
I just hate it when Drs try and blame anxiety for everything just because they have no answers!!
Wishing you well , take care of yourself and try a bit of distraction so it's not constantly on your mind.
Just a short walk or listen to a piece of music for half an hour.
