Hello,This Is Mike. I Am A 56 Year Old Male.

Hello,This is Mike. I am a 56 year old male. i have been experiencing will call them episodes. for over a year now, maybe even 2 years. it starts off with feeling like i have butterflies in my stumic, like if you were nervous about something. Then you start feeling week and a little light headed. all of a sudden you go into yawning fits. i talking 15 to 20 deep yawns until you feel like your jaws going to lock up. at times it feels like your going to pass out. it gets to the point were it can get down right scary!!! I've had two heart attacks and two stents installed over the past 10 years. At first i thought it was another heart attack coming on because it felt very seemlier but without the chest pain, besides i did go to the ER during one of my episodes and they said my heart was fine, but they couldn't find what was causing my problem. i did go to a hematologist to get checked out and he mentioned that i was not producing enough red blood cells to keep up with the ones that were dyeing off. its getting much worse now. to the point that my quality of life has suffered a great deal. these episodes will happen once,maybe twice, now sometimes as much as three times a day. can you help.
