Amgazing....this condition we have [mine was diagnosed as neurocardiogenic scope] is missed by doctors and is a very common issue! You think you are drying when it all gets going...false signals bouncing back and forth from brain to organs and back ...reserves all dumping at once and we are diagnosed with herd and anxiety...lol...Sensitive autonomic nerves are the cause. I was also diagnosed with ms. There IS a correlation, though neurologisets in the u.s. disagree. Nadalol and paxil keeps mine from blowing up as bad. 10 hour attack is shortened to just a few seconds here and there.
The numbness thing sounds like ms. After an mri WITH CONTRAST! , i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I have all these issues too, which at the present time, doctors in the u.s. don't link to ms, but other countries do.
I can't believe what you are all saying. For about a year now I have been having problems with excess gas in the stomach, pain with difficulting breathing, increased palpitations, passing out especially if I try to stand up staight. I have to stay in a bent over position, not even swallow because it causes so much pain especially on the right side radiating down the arm with numbness. I have been having trouble with the voice with horarseness, constant throat irritatioin, voice change, and difficulty with hearing loss. Have had the ednocospy, cartherizations, thryroid testing, now on the ent and lung specialist. I keep telling them there is a spot right where the ribs some together and it gets really tender. Thanks for the posts. I feel like maybe I will be back to my chiropractor and see if that will help. The doctor's aren't listening.
I had the 'jump awake in terror' thing going on and I have been on a mission with my hypothyroid condition. I do have problems with thyroid but they stem from adrenal fatigue. It is like a cascade, one thing knocks another. However, I also believe that gluten is a serious problem and my stomach 'vagus' (vagabond) gets upset when made to process that stuff. It is annoying, but try being without gluten. I am also going to try some L-Glutamine, which is a brilliant gut and muscle healer. I did take it years ago when a therapist recommended it to me. I had been leading a pretty wild life and drank a little too much wine. I get a tight neck and the 'buggy eye' thing. Deep breathing for ten mins also helps. Whatever you do, think twice before taking anything the doctors suggest; they cure one thing and start five others. Remember, it is not in the pharmaceutical company interest to make you better!!!

It's a relief to know im not the only o e suffering from this. My cadiac symptoms started 3 months ago w chest pain. Then turned into attacks of tachycadia, pulse up to 170 and increased bp. Now taking calcium channel blocker, hr max 150 during attack. No doc so far has been able to figure this mystery out...have been to 2 top noch hospitals! I have history of back problems, ibs, hypothyroism. I have lost 10 lbs since symptoms began. I know food triggers these attacks, just couldnt understand why. In addition to attacks, i also experience mid back pain and pain in my sides. Have had nasaua at time, sleep difficulities/disturbances, adrenaline surges, and heart skipping/palpitations. Interested to see if seeing a chirolractor could help improve syptoms. I plan to see gi doc to discuss vagus nerve az possible cause.
