Weird Things Happening??

[michelle_764]

About 3 years ago I started getting these headaches. It starts with feeling like my extremeties aren't attached to my body. Then I get  major headache in the right back of my head. Then my vison gets blurry and my peripheral vision goes away and I see black smudges when I look at people's face.. basically when I try to focus on something. Then the headache goes away slightly and My left arm begins to feel tingly.. like how your mouth feels after numbing shot at the dentst. Then the left side of my mouth and tongue goes numb.

I'm scared that somthing could be very wrong.

Any ideas? Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have gotten migraines like that - and they even go into the arm... but I would surely go and get checked out. Migraines can be very visual and my my mom used to only get them in her arms. My visual clue is a sparkly thing though - but get it checked out.

    Ask your doctor about getting an MRI. Do you remember if you may have had an injury to your neck  or spine 3 years ago?  Start documenting your symptoms - what time of day they happen, what you may have done that triggered them,  such as food you ate, standing in bright sunlight, anything at all. You may find a pattern.
Doctors tend to take you more seriously when they see it in writing.

Your blood pressure may be rising or falling during your headaches. Get a blood pressure cuff and keep track of your pressure daily for a week or two (write it down), then see if it is very different during your symptom attacks.

Yes. I went and had an exam a year ago and there was nothing abnormal.

  It definitely sounds neurological. Peripheral vision loss can be tumor or glaucoma. You need to see a neurologist. It could be serious. Have you been to an ophthalmologist since this started?
