My torso area is bloated again. I go to the gym and the rest of my body is in good shape though I do tend to hold water, but my torso is bloated and I can "pinch more than an inch". It seems to hold more fat and water (more so after eating carbs and sugar).

My eyes are dull and have a few small spots that look yellowish. Some days the outer corners are so red it looks like someone punched me. My face is dry and very pale. I get dry skin on the sides of my nose. After going in the sun I get little blisters on my lips. More importantly lately I have been getting heart palpitations and have trouble breathing. It feels like my bloating in my stomach is pushing up on my lungs and I can't breathe. It scares me and is very uncomfortable. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest or like a tight band is around it squeezing. Sometimes I am convinced I will die and my heart starts racing I feel dizzy and my limbs seem numb. One day I bent over to pick something up and my heart started pounding so hard I thought it would burst. I laid on my bead until it went away. Every time this happens I feel this is the time I will die.

The rest of the skin on my body is dry, but I live in N.J. and it is very humid here so I do sweat alot. My hair is dry, frizzy and brittle. The hair on my body grows very fast so I have to shave every day. I always chew on the insides of my cheeks when I'm thinking or nervous and I wrinkle my forehead a lot (frowning or squinting). When I speak to people I don't know and get nervous I say the wrong words or the words don't come out right. I get very impatient with my mother and daughter, not so much with people I don't know.

Boy, I sound like a winner don't I??? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
