Hello, I feel a little strange posting symptoms, but I am getting frustrated....

I have been to many doctors over the last 5 years with symptoms of dizziness, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, wieght gain, tiredness... I still have the symptoms, but I don't want to go to any more doctors because I feel like they think I am a hypochondriac. Anyhow, yesterday afternoon I suddenly had the wierdest sensation in my feet... it is hard to describe, and now I feel silly talking about it, but it scared me at the time, and lasted a few hours. Anyhow, it was like the feeling of when a limb "falls asleep" and then "wakes up" and tingles so bad it hurts... but it was just on the bottom of my feet (the pads and the heel), and it hurt when I walked. Then, I felt it slightly in my back (like a twinge), and then my cheeks (wierd, I know... I was a little confused). Being a biologist, I tried to rationalise through it, but it still upset me a bit. Any ideas?
