Symptoms: first of all she has constant pulse rate around 100 (mostly 95-125) since ~10-12 of december & at first (before all the holidays) she felt allright, even not noticing the pulse at all, then in the end of december she started to have this "visual fatigue" I've described earlier (she often closes her eyes when watching TV or something like that & when we ask her how she feels she's saying that she's ok & just "tired to watch and it feels better with eyes closed") and now, after the holidays (and all the holidays meal) she feels notably worse - she has strong back pain, heavy fatigue, wants to sleep most of the time, doesn't have any appetite for couple of days already & depressed.
My amateur theory is that the "holidays diet" washed out her nutrients, notably B-vitamins & her body now starving of it but at the same time she can't get it back through diet & supplements yet because of depression & the absence of appetite. Maybe I'm wrong and all this is due something that causes her pulse rate increase since beginning of december...
We will check her adrenals as Johnwen suggested, but I would be very appreciated if I could get an advice on exact tests that are necessary since adrenals testing is indeed more complex than thyroid & we better know what to check.
What she's on:
Vitamin C (several teaspoons a day, we try to give her as much as we can & it hits bowel tolerance very rarely, almost never)
Taurine (1-1,5 tsp a day)
L-lysine (1,8 tsp a day)
B-100 (2-3 times a day)
Iron (she has low hemoglobin & takes 18mg caps 3 times a day)
D&K (1000UI of D & 100mcg of K-2 (MK-4) twice a day)
B-6 (100mg once a day, before sleep)
Niacin (250mg 1-2 a day)
Magnesium (250mg twice a day)
Glycin (around 3 tsp a day)
Q10 (200mg 2-3 a day)
Omega-3 (1100mg twice a day)
and drugs:
Preductal MR (Trimetazidine) 2 tablets of 35mg a day
Cardiomagnyl (acetylsalicylic acid + Magnesium hydroxide 150mg+30,39mg in one tablet) 0,5 tablet a day
Forgot to mention - she also has shortness of breath now & when she speaks it sounds like every word is being interrupted after each syllable. So now I really worried about that potassium chloride we took, but then again it wasn't too much (it was mostly 365mg per day & just several days or a week when she took 2-3 times more than that but it was like 1-1,5 months ago & she's not taking it for about 18 days already).
Thank you!
