Well, thanks for your response. I am currently going through the run around, except that I did fail the stress test. I will be having a heart cath this week, and I suppose that may be more informative, but I suspect it's either candida or candida related. I've been reading up on the numbness, and have found that many women (like myself) who are going through menopause often have numbness and tingling in their arms and/or legs, and it can sometimes be the result of hypo thyroid issues.
