Spriggy!
Let's see now. You have a blood sugar problem, heart rhythm problem, possible thyroid problem, and a family history if not a personal history of bipolar disorder.
I think that's enough to confuse you AND the doctors! Sounds like you need a second opinion when it comes to that heart problem--how about a cardiologist, and an endo that is willing to look at both blood sugar AND thyroid issues. Even an idiot like me knows that unstable blood sugar, irregular heart rhythm,and a thyroid that wants to do its own thing can make you look and feel crazy.
Now, just to throw something else in the mix, what are the chances that you are having some of these symptoms because of the MEDS you are on? Ed could help us there. I just don't want you to be "labeled" with something you don't really have. Or taking a bunch of meds you don't need. Not really sure which is worse, JUST being bipolar, or having heart, blood sugar, and thyroid issues!
(((HUGS)) my dear! I will be praying that you find a doctor who is WISE.
