Light headed / tingles through body (sort of like electric shock)

[OmahaSTI]

Recently I've had some horrible feelings of being light headed & at the same time I get this odd tingle through my whole body.  It's almost like a hot flash without the heat.  I compare it to a very light electric shock.  It's getting to be pretty bad & it's starting to worry me a bit.  I went to the Dr. yesterday & he assumed it was Norovirus because there was an outbreak here in Omaha.  I don't really have the stomach cramps, diarrhea, or nausea that goes along with the Norovirus though.  Has anyone ever experienced something like this?  I was thinking maybe something with an ear infection?  It happens about every 20 to 30 seconds if I'm standing, & it really hits if I stand up from a seated position.  Thanks in advance,

Dennis

I'm 13 years old and I suffer from this at least once ever two weeks. I'll get up from sitting and take about two steps then I'll get a tingly feeling through my whole body, get dizzy, stiffen and just fall over. It always seems to be at home though. Could be a reaction to something in my house? Am I being taken over by the devil?

i have been having the same sensation. Every so often when im walking around i feel this jolt like thing and i feel like I'm going to pass out for that split second. I looked it up and came across a website that called it brain zaps and said it could be withdrawl symptoms from antidepressants or anxiety medication. This sort of makes sense i have forgotten to take my anxiety medication for 3 days. Here check this out:

I haven't read all of the postings, but in scanning over quite a few, I didn't see any mention of L'hermitte's Sign - a symptom of multiple sclerosis.  A visit to a neurologist who deals with MS is advisable (not all neurologists specialize in or are terribly familiar with MS, so ascertaining his/her particular discipline before visiting is wise.)
