Looking for answers

Hi, I was looking for information on the symptoms i'm having. I was reading your panel from back in 2006. I didn't know so many people were expericing the same thing as I. I have diaherra, vomiting, chills, shaking, and I faint. I feel so weak and drained when the episode comes. Sometime I feel like fainting and I don't, but most times I alway faint. I went into cardic arrest during one of my episodes. The doctors can't figure out any thing. They say it's stress also, but i wasn't feeling stressed when these episodes come on. I have panic attacks and they keep asking me if I wasn't having a panic attack? I know how my panic attack feel and it's nothing like this. I just need advice and help. I feel so bad most of the time and it's affecting my life and career. Could it really be all from anxiety?

They did blood work, cat scan, MRI, heart scan. They said it all came back normal, they are still puzzled. The symptoms have lessen over the months, but every once in a while they come back and hit me hard. I just don't want to worry about when i'll have another episode.

What tests, including bloodwork have they done?  We don't always feel stressed when a panic attack occurs, in fact they can come when we're really enjoying ourselves, and relaxed. Although anxiety can present in so many ways, this appears to be more than anxiety to me.  Let us know what tests have been done and maybe we can help you with getting answers.

I guess its possible but Id urge the docs to check you out extensively to rule out anything else.Lily
