Worried? Pain in neck, tingling on face, Dizziness

[nancyj1922]

Hi.  FOr ages I have been complaining about dizziness and a pins and needles feeling in my left cheek.  (by ages, since 2003)  I have been sent for ultrasound of coratid artery (no problems) and and MRI/MRA (no problems) but the symptoms are not only stil there, they are getting worse, considerably.  I have noticed that this summer, with humidity real high, they are horrible!  

When this happens, I will feel a pins and needles type tingling from actually right below my jaw bone, covering the entire left side of my face to the left of my eye and about a 1/3 of the way into my forehead on same side.  This will intensify as the day goes on.  

Then my neck will hurt BAD!  Again, always the left, from my shoulder blade, sort of up the back of my neck, to behind my left ear.

After that I will be hit with HUGH waves of dizziness, sometimes to the point of almost blacking out.  I have a real feeling something is major wrong!  I feel somewhat sick to my stomach.  When I say dizziness, it isn't like everything spins, it is like I feel out of whack.

This really has me worried.  It comes out of no place, my stress level is probably the  lowest it has been in years ( I quit work a few months ago and am glad about that decision - no $$ issues  because of it)

Does ANYONE have a clue?  My dr. just told me medicine can't fix everything, but THIS IS NOT NORMAL and NOT in my head.  I just don't want to have to have a stroke to prove it!

Sounds like B12 deficiency or parathyroid problems..the latter are not known much to docs.. look at John Norman's site.

You have every symptom of B12 deficiency.. Any doc can give those shots.. first go get some capsules of B complex then get those shots and blood work..Demand it, docs sometimes don't get it

My situation started a few days ago... Oddly enough, I was putting up Christmas decorations at work, & suddenly I just felt odd. I had numbness to the face (centrally located), pain to the right side of my chest, pain under the jaw line on the left side & a bit of dizziness. At first I thought "STROKE?!!?", but being that (ironically) I am a 911 dispatcher, fluent in Emergency Medical Dispatch, I started walking myself through the tests, & had my partner validate that I was doing fine. I am hoping it's Costocondritis, but we shall see...
