As of recent I have been experiencing some very strange symptoms that have freaked me out on occassion. At first I thought I had a headache, but it didn't feel like any headache I had experienced in the past. I also get dizzy to the point where I feel drunk. Like you feel when you have been drinking and lay down in the bed and everything spins. I dealt with this for a few days, trying all kinds on OTC medications and nothing. I finally got me some Migraine meds that didn't do much at all. It helped for the first hour or two, but then it started again. Last night however, I tucked my girls in bed and all of the sudden started feeling like I was going to pass out. My head hurt like it does constantly and I was dizzy, but this time I got hot and my chest was extremely tight. I was struggling to get a deep breath and was very weak. I went back downstairs and told my husband what was going on and he just told me to go to bed. So, I did. Today, I have been extremely dizzy and light headed - with some weird type of pressure in my head. It's the hardest thing in the world for me to try and explain. It's the weirdest feeling. When I was on my way home, out of nowhere that pressure became immense. Then, my mouth/lips and face started tingling and the symptoms from last night were back. I tried to act like nothing was happening and all was well, but when my head started pulsating and my face tingled, I pulled over in a parking lot. I sat there for about a half hour until I could focus and felt somewhat "normal" before starting back on the road. (FYI: Normal for me isn't normal for most, when I say normal I mean just being dizzy and having a headache that feels like pressure is going to make my head explode). I made it home safely, but I am so confused as to what is going on with me.
I am starting to think I may be crazy. I am not one to go to doctors, but lately I have contempalted going to the ER because of how bad I have felt. I have often wondered if I was going to make it through the night. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!!
