I feel like gravity is working overtime (and out of sync) pulling blood through my arms and legs to my hands and feet, even if I am laying down.

Any ideas what is going on. Sometimes accompanied by headaches.TIA

Hi thank you for responding. I don't know what that means... Capillary refill time? I am not currently under treatment, I'm only taking support supplements at this time, including endocrine.

I do have low blood pressure. What does it mean to have your heart inflamed?

I have had several life events recently that have caused major stressors...

Here's a YouTube video that explains capillary refill time and shows you how to do it:

Cortisol is the bodys response to stress and inflammation .lyme and co can cause very high amounts in the joints ,brain ,and heart even in the microcirculation vasculature of the hands and feet .

burrascano guidlines say lyme carditis must be treated with iv abx .iv curcumin did wonders for my inflammation .and teducing the infection both bartonella and borrelia has helped .

are your fingers wrinkly?.do you crave salt . Lyme also hits the kidneys and aldosterone -renin system gets wonky for me .i notice its better when i chew on raw whole licorice .not dgl kind ...
