CONSTANT heaviness in my head, arms and legs...shaky

I have a CONSTANT fuzzy headed feeling and heaviness in my arms, legs, feels like my head and neck are being pushed down.  I am getting very scared.  I have had every test and nothing shows up.  I am going for a neck MRI this afternoon for what they think is a cervical strain, but other than that have had every test imagined since June.  Posted under several other subjects.  Does anyone else experience this and dizziness constantly.  I have to have some kind of hope!

I experienced this today. Every symptom y'all listed. It started out of no where, like a jolt in my body then like hard to focus, head got heavy, legs got heavy, heavy breathing, anxiety.. Not fun at all. I know I have pretty severe anxiety and have for a long time. Idk if that has something to do with it or not but I wasn't anxious leading up to the episide but I was definitely anxious after. Kept feeling like I wanted to pass out, horrible feeling. Anyone else with some input?

This is a bit of a dead thread since it is old, and all the posters provided self diagnosed symptoms, so they can be just psychosomatic as they are just anecdotal.
My 2 friends have ADHD and when they get together their claims are just anecdotal although because they agree with each other on their most idiotic observations they think that proves something.
Your doctor is the only person who can diagnose you.

yes i know these feelings for me it begins with one of two terrifing sympotms a) out of the blue feels like im gonna just drop dead (syncope) symptoms- instant dizziness, with confusion, temporay loss of vision, involentary adreniline rush to fight the feeling of going unconscious reslulting in extreme sense of panic.
or
b) strokelike sympotms begining with a crawling sensation in the skin in top of head and face particularly around the eyebrow and upper cheek to temple then the feeling of that of a hand on the top of my head pushing me straight down to the floor, sudden shortness of breathe dizziness and the anxiety of when they will happen again

I have exactly the same symptoms that you describe -fuzzy/heavy head and pressure across shoulders and down my spine, just like something is pushing down on me.  Some days it's difficult to walk around.  I had a brain scan and they said everything's ok - I can't get any answers from any doctors - they don't seem concerned about doing any more tests.  Are you still suffering from this?  Did you ever find out the cause?  Is anyone else suffering from this "condition"?
