About Me

I'm a female in my early 30's. Normal weight, vegetarian for most of my life, light exercise, non-smoker, I don't drink alcohol, I don't drink or eat anything containing caffeine and I've been diagnosed with endometriosis after laparoscopic surgery. I'm no longer in physical pain but for about a week to a week and a half before I menstruate every month, I suffer from extreme anxiety, shakiness, headaches, blood pressure fluctuations, PVCs, heart palpitations, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, mood swings and slight depression. After the first few days of my period, the symptoms dissipate and I feel better except my period lasts for two weeks. This means, I get a very short window of opportunity to feel good every month. It has gotten worse over the years and it has affected my quality of life. I see a therapist every week but it doesn't help much. I take Xanax as needed and although it does help, it makes me very tired. My gynecologist wants me to take birth control but my cardiologist said I can't because I have an arrhythmia. I have not been able to find answers as to what I can do to relieve my symptoms although I continue to search.
