Falling down?

[TheTotallyRealSlimShady]

Okay, so I'm a woman of nineteen. Starting around five years ago, I've gone through episodes where I fall down a lot. Might fall down a lot over the course of a few days and not happen again for months. Might be scattered throughout the month. Thing is, I never know when it's gonna happen. It started after my first bad panic attack and tends to happen more if I'm severely stressed. Usually, I'll start feeling nauseous and my head will spin, don't feel like moving or talking. Then, my leg muscles just feel like they give out on me for a second and I either catch myself on a nearby object or end up on the floor. It could possibly be blood sugar, as some have suggested, because it happened quite a bit when I went through a stress-induced faze where I barely ate. Although yesterday when it started happening again (at my job) I had just eaten and ended up throwing up half of what I'd consumed. When I go through these spurts of leg dysfunction, I tend to want to sleep in gross amounts and panic attacks are more likely to occur. I don't know if that's related or not.

Hello~

I would see your physician. It could be many reasons, my first thought, as I read your symptoms, was a form of epilepsy, not all epilepsy is the standard grand mal seizure, you can have events where you feel dizzy, fall, want to sleep a lot after the event, feel anxious. Your doctor will be able to help after he takes a history, and possibly does an EEG.

Hope you feel better soon.
