OK I joined this support group looking for some possible answers. I am a 4 time multiple PE survivor. 3 of those episodes happened while I was on therapeutic doses of Coumadin. Lately i have been having severe cramps in the right side of my body, (calves, feet, ankles, thighs, hands fingers etc. Mostly at night. The cramps get so bad that the next day i can barely walk the muscles are so sore. Yes i am on Potassium, calcium with Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 and Flintstones vitamins. ( I have to watch my vitamin K intake). I have also been suffering from excessive sweating at all times of the day and night. Plus I have a constant dull pain in my chest. only gets worse when I lay on my side. I have had every blood test run on me to see what could be the cause of my PE's, I have no known DVT's, My echo's have come back OK, as have my EKG's. I do have high blood pressure and am on 2 different BP meds to keep my BP down and my Heart rate down. I am also on thyroid meds. Right now I am seriously frustrated with the whole PE issue now I have started adding these stoopid cramps and sweating. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and HUGS to each and every one of you God's Blessings Ferr Posted on 05/05/09, 11:05 am |

I also forgot to add I do have high cholesterol but the doctors don't seem to be to worried about my cholesterol until they get my PE's under control so No I am not on cholesterol meds. I also wanted to ask are any of these signs possibly caused from PAD?
