it sounds like I have the same symptoms as a lot of you. I have one added symptom though. I'm 33 years old and in general have pretty good health. I've been under a lot of stress lately, I'm self employeed and am about to open a new business so I have a lot on the line because I live week to week financially. About a month ago my legs started burning and feeling fatigued, it has gradually gotten worse to where I walk across the room and my legs feel like they ran 10 miles. Now for 4 days my heart has been skipping beats a lot and I feel like I can't catch my breath. I feel like I should see a doctor but I don't have much money and already have a pile of bills I can barely pay. Does this sound like stress to anyone? Anyone having skipping heartbeats, have you had problems with limbs burning and feeling fatigued?
Q: Hi, reading all this has been so helpful. I've been so scared
Hi Angie,
I am sorry that you are experiencing so much pain. I am not going through the pain that you are going through, but I wanted to link you to a few sites that may give you a little info on leg pain and irregular heart beats, etc.
I do recommend that you see a physician. I know it's difficult because of finances, but it's important that find out what's wrong before it becomes unmanageable.
Best of luck,
Monica M. Skidmore, MS, RD, LDN
