I know... that's a very weird title... but, soon I should be having surgery to remove one of those cysts from the base of my nasal canal. And, both the ENT doctor, and myself, are optimistic that this may be causing a lot of my symptoms - dizziness, blurred vision, headaches - so, I am excited! He says that it's a simple surgery, much like having your adenoids removed.
Also, the heart doctor and I talked at my follow-up, when she suggested I go see a pulmonary specialist (lung doctor), and I now understand that I might have scarring on my lungs (minor) causing this shortness of breath. And, if that's the case, I could very well just need some asthma medication and be rid of that problem too!!
So, for the first time in a long time, I am optimistic about my health.
Oh the nerve pain, and muscle pain, will still be there and I'll have to continue seeing a neurologist to see if they can help --- but, that I'm used to. I've been dealing with that for years. This other stuff was a bit scary for me.
Well... need to get ready for the beach!!! :)

Hi, I saw your what I assume is your post...

Maybe a stretch, but is it possible your Left Side symptoms are a medication side effect?
I have been suffering for 2 1/2 years with Left Side issue and shortness of breath, and now am pretty certain it's side effect of Blood Pressure medication (Amlodipine which is Calcium Channel blocker). See my post here...

I know it's a stretch, but saw your post and couldn't help but relate. I see you do take some medications, so maybe its a side effect similar to what myself and many others have experienced on Amlodipine (cant help but think other medications may have similar mysterious side effects for other people).
Anyhow, just a thought in case your still searching for answers.
Hope all is well!
