Complex medical situatuon
My major problems are shortness of breath, chest tightness, palpitation and high blood pressure. Sometimes I also feel my heart has stopped beathing. This high blood pressure is  inconsistent. I've taken three or four medicines a day to control blood pressure but failed. Medicine fails to control my high blood pressure. I'm diagonosed with PCOS and I get heavy menstrual bleeding and unbearable pain during my menstrual cycle. Bleeding is so heavy that it can't be controled by taking medicine. I have been facing this for almost 3.5 years. I have consulted with cardiologists, psychiatrists, gynecolpgists and medicine specialist but almost all the doctors has given up as most of my  test reports are okay. They are clueless now. I used to have cold fever along with dyspnoea in my childhood. Also used to get fainted whenver I tried to run. I was an IUGR patient also had birth asphyxia and my mom had amenorrhoea. So now which branch of doctor or speficially who can help me?

Your case is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach, but based on your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend consulting the following specialists: 1. Endocrinologist •Why? Your history of PCOS, persistent high blood pressure, and irregular heavy bleeding suggests a possible hormonal disorder beyond just PCOS. Conditions like pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, primary aldosteronism, or thyroid dysfunction could explain your symptoms. •Tests to consider: •Plasma metanephrines (to rule out pheochromocytoma) •Cortisol levels (24-hour urine or dexamethasone suppression test) (for Cushing’s syndrome) •Aldosterone-renin ratio (for primary aldosteronism) •Thyroid function tests (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) 2. Geneticist or Metabolic Specialist •Why? Given your history of IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), birth asphyxia, and childhood dyspnea with fainting, an underlying genetic or metabolic disorder may be contributing. Rare conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, or mitochondrial disorders could explain your symptoms. •Tests to consider: •Whole exome sequencing (WES) or targeted genetic panels •Lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia levels (for metabolic disorders) 3. Pulmonologist with Cardiologist (for Pulmonary Hypertension Evaluation) •Why? Your history of dyspnea, fainting, and high blood pressure could suggest pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), especially since you had respiratory issues as a child. •Tests to consider: •Echocardiography with pulmonary pressure assessment •Right heart catheterization (if needed for definitive PAH diagnosis) •Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and arterial blood gases (ABG) 4. Hematologist •Why? Your heavy menstrual bleeding unresponsive to treatment may indicate a clotting disorder or platelet dysfunction rather than just a gynecological issue. •Tests to consider: •Von Willebrand factor assay (for Von Willebrand disease) •Platelet function tests •Coagulation panel (PT, APTT, INR, fibrinogen levels, D-dimer, Factor VIII, Factor IX, etc.) 5. Rheumatologist •Why? Autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or vasculitis could cause fluctuating high blood pressure, cardiac symptoms, and abnormal bleeding. •Tests to consider: •ANA, anti-dsDNA, antiphospholipid antibodies •Complement levels (C3, C4) 6. Neurologist (for Autonomic Dysfunction Evaluation) •Why? Your palpitations, inconsistent high blood pressure, and history of fainting could be due to dysautonomia or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). •Tests to consider: •Tilt table test •24-hour Holter monitor or continuous ECG monitoring
Health Tips
Since multiple doctors have already evaluated you without finding a clear answer, a referral to a major university hospital or a specialized diagnostic center would be ideal. They often have multidisciplinary teams that can work together on complex cases like yours.
