Dizziness, short of breath, weak, blurry vision, plz help.
Hello, my name is Math, im 19 years of age and live and pretty healthy life until;
It all started a month ago, i was driving from work when suddenly i felt like fainting, my mouth and throat got really dry, i felt out of breath and I was really scared of crashing because i was in the highway. I made a quick exit and stopped at a park's parking lot. I felt really weak dizzy and anxious. I had to make a few stops until I arrived at my house. When i got home i took a nap, and after two hours i felt good. The next day i went to drop my nephew to his house, and before entering my car i felt dizzy and those similar symptoms. I was able to drop him safely, but from that day to now august 2009 i have been experiencing those similar symptoms, but now those symptoms not only happen while i'm driving, but when i go out or at home. I have been to a few doctors, a Neurologist, and the ER but all have said that I am "stress out" and that i suffer from anxiety and things like that. Personally, I don't think is stress. All the exams; blood, chest Xray, Vertigo came out negative. I can't work, go to school. or even go out now because every time i go out i feel like fainting, out breath, like running out of saliva and choking. When I am at home in some way i feel safer, but also weak and I'm constantly drinking water which seems to relive a little my symptoms. Also it seems that when i'm using the computer for more than an hour i start feeling those symptoms and my vision starts to get blurry. I do not use my contact anymore since when I have them on i feel worse.
I'm posting this so anyone out there who is/has experienced similar symptoms please help. Also if you happen to have the knowledge of what is happening to me, your concerns and feedbacks will be gratefully thanked for.
