Question: Hello, I have noticed recently, (past 4 or 5 weeks), that within 20 minutes after eating anything, my heart begins to bound, I become flushed and I can hear the blood rushing in my ears. Today this happened after eating a baked sweet potato with nothing on it thinking the salt in the butter may have been to blame yesterday. I am currently taking Morphine 30mg,extended release, one every 8 hours for fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease with stenosis and some arthritis, Modafinil 200mg, one each morning, and Chlorzoxazone 500mg as needed for muscle spasms, (I only take 1/2 at bedtime), and Xanax 1 mg,2 or 3 times a day as needed (The Xanax does help calm down whatever this is going on.). My dosages have not changed in over a year. I have stopped taking Thyroid medication because it made the hot flashes/cold sweats unbearable. I have however just gotten it refilled since after blood work, I do need it. I had a hysterectomy at age 29. Definitely post menopausal. No replacement hormones for me, my brother and sister both battled 4 different types of cancer, (two types each), successfully. Still, I am wary of hormone therapy. I should add; this feels very different from any of the menopausal symptoms I have experienced in the several years since those symptoms began. This new problem seems directly related to eating. I had assumed the problem was salt. I should also note that my mother and brother developed adult onset diabetes. I have not been tested since I have not recognised any of the usual symptoms, and because I am not insured, cash pay. I apologise if I have added more than you need, just trying to be thorough.
