Some weird attacks for some unknown reasons

I feel very bad right now. I've been going to a number of doctors now but none of them have correctly diagnosed what could be the problem I'm facing. I was lucky because one of the doctors prescribed some "emergency" medication which I'm supposed to take when I think I'm dying.

All the blood tests I've undergone were normal. I had a chest x-ray taken and it was normal too. Here's my condition. I am suffering from some intense attacks - I don't even know what to call them - which occur of a sudden from no where. I've written down exactly what I was doing before and after the attack. Please take some time in going through it because you may just save my life.

You are certainly having an allergic reaction. You could have a yeast or gluten allergic reaction. People can become allergic to things that they were not allergic to before... you could go to a biomeridian PhD and have them test you on allergies. It's cheaper then a traditional allergist and they can nail down the problem a lot faster!  ((I've been to both allergist and bio)) they both came up with the same answer - but, the bio doctor was $145. total and the allergist - unknown amounts of $$ billed to insurance!!!!!!  Good Luck!
