I’m 16 years old, Female
5’5 108 pounds (I know I’m underweight, I’m trying to gain weight)

I have quite a lot of health problems but we haven’t found any causes for them!!!! Please help, even if you know just a little bit about one of my health problems…

*I have been to: a gynecologist, cardiologist, electrophysicologist, and an endocrynologist

1. I have 12 benign thyroid nodules. Normal TSH. Small (mm) Have NOT shrunk/grew in a year. Next ultrasound is in a year

2. Premature Ventricular Contractions. Had echo: normal (but mild flattning of septal motion????) Holter Monitor: shows PVC’s EKG : Normal; sometimes sinus tachycardia–shows my heart is "tired".

3. HAD severe anemia 2 years ago (hemoglobin 5.6). Hospitalized, two blood transfusions. First noticed PVCs. Cause of PVC’s: anemia. (now that I have a 13.5 hemoglobin which is normal, I STILL get pvc’s.)

4. Very very heavy periods–had ultrasound-Normal. Periods caused the anemia. Was on BC pills for a year which helped heavy periods, recently stopped because I don’t want to be on them anymore. I want a new treatment.

5. Low Estrogen–doctor says I have estrogen of a "12 year old." Low estrogen is supposed to cause little to no periods. I still have very heavy periods……

6. Blood pressure–I have normal blood pressure, but when I stand up, I can feel my heart beating through my ears/neck. Electrophysiologist says cause: dehydration

7. Had a tramatic past (being hospitalized, sudden death of parent) Been told I have anxiety..even though I don’t always feel anxious. I am always under a lot of stress.

8. Sometimes I have acid reflux…never diagnosed of that though

9. I have cold intolerance. The heat is always on in my room. Family can’t handle it, only I can.

10. Heart rate fluctuates during the day. Sometimes it’s rapid, other times it’s in the 60′s

11. Major fatigue..NOT anemic

12. Hair loss. I don’t have any bald spots, but when mom vacummed in my room, there was a whole head of hair picked up by it. Friends always notice that I’m losing hair. Always find hair on the floor

13. Sometimes, I have to take DEEP breaths or else I’ll feel like I don’t have enough air in my lungs. I don’t have asthma

Note: I don’t have allergies, but certain times of the year, It’s very hard to breathe (can’t get a satisfying deep breath). Doctor put me on singulair. Causes major PVC’s–took me off of it. But singulair seemed to help. Don’t know if it was all in my head??? I am a huge worrier. Mitral Valve Prolapse runs in the family, even though Echo was normal.

Question: Give me some insight on ANY of these. And if any of them are connected. Biggest concern is thyroid nodules: common in adolescents???? HELP!??

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!
I have had NUMEROUS CBC blood tests..does that exclude Celiac Disease?? Or do I need to order a certain blood test..???
