Does this sound like ADD in adults?

I saw a natural medicine doc recently and he had me fill out a questionnaire and thinks I have ADD.
I have palpitations, anxiety, bummed out times, fatigue and sometimes feel like I'm in a fog.
I don't know who the best person to diagnose this is.
And, how do they diagnose it?

Does any of my symptoms sound familiar?

Thanks,
Jazzmynn

I get palpitations often. I will cough to set myself "right." Anxiety? ask my ulcers! Bummed out times? I can remember being severely depressed when I was 4. In a fog? every day....

I would agree that those are symptoms. There are many that surprise me too. A good book for symptoms is Driven to Distraction. Dr. Daniel Amen has a book called Healing ADD that lists different symptoms for 6 different types of ADD. They are both good and NOT written by quacks! LOL
