Suggest Remedy For Migraines With Dizziness And Joint Pains

I am 22 years old and realitively healthy. Since February I ve been having very bad migraines, accompanied with fainting, joint pain specifically in my wrists elbows and ankles. The pain gets so bad it makes me sick to my stomach. I have a lot of tention in neck and shoulders. My body stays swollen most of the time. I have gained 50 pounds in about 4 months and I haven t changed a thing within my diet or exercise. I have seen a neurologist, and two different Physicans. I ve been to the ER numerous times yet all the tests have come back negative. Please help with any suggestions, anything I can do it take to ease the pain. Any suggestions I can toss towards my doctors for any ideas. Thanks so much!

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a metabolic disorder (hormonal imbalance, thyroid gland dysfunction, adrenal gland dysfunction, pituitary gland dysfucntion) or an inflammatory disorder.

I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exams and some blood lab testsÖ

-complete blood count
-PCR, sedimetation rate for possible inflammation
-cortisol plasma levels for the adrenal gland function
-thyroid hormone levels
-blood electrolytes
-kidney and liver function tests


A brain MRI may be needed if suspicions of possible pituitary gland dysfunction are raised.

Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
