I have not been diagnosed with CAH yet but my doctor is doing some test for it. I have headaches quite a bit and have had them pretty much all my life. I’ve been to doctors for it but they pretty much give me medicine and say that it is sinus or migranes. I’m beginning to question that. When i have the headaches, I usually have dizziness or feel light headed. Some times they even come with nausa. Medicine usually does not have any effect on them. I have also passed out and blacked out with the headaches before. My blood pressure seems to also drop a little with the headaches. The headaches usually last a couple of days. People have told me that it sounds like migranes, but they do not hurt that bad.

I have other problems too that got my doctor thinking that i might have CAH. I have always had irregular periods. I am constantly tired. I have excessive hair growth (facial and chest) that seems to only be getting worse since the birth of my son. Also while i was pregnant the wierdest thing happened, my voice got deeper in the second trimester. I also seem to have a weak immune system. I catch every germ that goes around and it seems to take me twice as long to recover from it. I also seem to have back pain in my lower back quite a bit that seems to be right above my kidneys on the right side. I have also recently experienced a miscarriage.

Does any of this sound like CAH? Is their anyone experiencing any of this?

I’m also concerned for my son. He is 11 months old and i’m afraid that if i have it, he may have it too.
