Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.
I am surprised why your Doctor said there is "MRSA". Your symptoms are not suggestive of MRSA or any other serious infection. The only concern to be ruled out is the fast heart rate. Other blood tests are normal so you need not worry about that.
You will definitely require a Psychiatric evaluation. Now I am NOT saying all of these symptoms are due to Psychiatric problem. But treatment will clear many masking symptoms and so a better diagnosis can be made. Form the information you have provided it seems you have been thoroughly evaluated. So as of now we can safely assume that nothing dangerous is going on.
Discuss with your Doctor whether you need evaluation for Pheochromocytoma. Your Cardiologist can guide you on this. Some urine tests might be needed in that case. This one condition can cause above mentioned symptoms. Other than that I cannot see any connection in these symptoms.
Hope I am clear.
please feel free to ask followp questions.
Thank you
the er doctor seen the legins on my skin and said it was MRSA,I did not bring it to his attention he just noticed and commented that it was mrsa and he could give me antibiotics for it.None of the numberes on the bloodwork from the urgent care dr show any concern for you? or my ammuine system?or the giant stomach? i really look 7 mo pregnat,or the dierria?
Hello,
There is high cholesterol and Hypertriglycerdemia. However this cannot explain the symptoms. You will require medication + diet modification + aerobic exercise to reduce this. But this will not cause the above mentioned symptoms. MRSA cannot be diagnosed by seeing a lesion. This will require bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing. I guess this diagnosis (if not based on the culture) should be revisited.
Hope this helps
Thank you
