The cardiologist I most recently consulted ruled out pericarditis or myocarditis. Since then, I have been to the ER twice again with the chest pains, and each time they do not find any indication of underlying heart issues, which is very frustrating.

A thorough eye examination also did not reveal any issues with my eyes. A subsequent comprehensive brain/neck MRI scan did not reveal any indication of a stroke or any vascular issues in the brain or neck. (I started using 500mg 3x times a day, and decreased it to approximately 200mg 3x times per day currently.) He also gave me a high dose of oral Vitamin D (cholicalciferolum), without any Vitamin K.Ībout 2-3 weeks later I then had a very distressing incident where I temporarily lost the vision in both eyes for a short while with extremely blurred vision, which the ER ascribed to the high blood pressure. The Dr initially thought it may be a likely case of pericarditis, and prescribed high dose Aspirin for the chest pain, which I continue to use for the past couple of weeks. The ER conducted a ECG, ultrasound and blood tests, with a negative result, no ECG abnormalities, no sign of Troponin in the blood, no elevated D-Dimer levels etc.Įxtremely low Vit D (14.3 ng/mL, normal level 30 ng/mL)Įlevated PTH (88 pg/mL, normal range (by European standards) 15-68pg/mL) I initially ignored this too, but eventually after a couple of days went to the ER after I also started developing what I would describe as a pounding heart/fluttering of the heart. This initially happened mostly when lying down, which is apparently a classical symptom of pericarditis. Then in late November I suddenly started experiencing occasional sudden, sharp pains in the heart area, especially below the left ribs, and sometimes a bit higher up. At around the same time I started experiencing a numbness and tingling in my one hand upon waking up, which would normalize after waking up. At the time I did not make too much of it and ignored it. In approximately August 2021 I started noticing pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear in the evenings when laying in bed, as well as occasional dizziness. There is also no history of heart problems or cardiovascular issues in my family. I have never suffered from elevated blood pressure or any cholesterol issues. I only came round to what I would describe as a Ray Peat diet (i.e. I am 50 years old and generally in good health, although I have been living a very sedentary lifestyle over the past 5 years with poor eating habits, and since April last year have been living an extremely stressful life with long hours of driving. I apologize for the long message, but want to provide sufficient context. First time asking for help, any insight would be greatly appreciated, I don't know what to do any more.
