OK wow, I had the same problem when I was pregnant.... Dont take anti anxiety drugs though... so many things can go wrong with that stuff and I would be safe rather than sorry. You dont want anything to happen to the baby... All the stuff u had happened happened to me to, the grandpa dying... bfs grandma dying all when I was 6 months... I got through it. Exercise a lot make your boyfriend massage you... I never did that and I wish i would of! I feel like I have a brain tumor too and it stresses me out more! Ugh... but youll get through it. Hopefully it gets better for you because so far its just been worse for me after having my baby... haha hope you find some relief.

I'm 32 yr old female n have been having all these symptoms. Pressure n coldness feeling on the top of my head, tingling around my mouth n in my extremities, heavy chest/ can't breath, scared n thoughts of dying, just weird sensations in my body.. I've been going to an acupuncturist Have only went twice so far n it has seemed to help a great deal.. Still have episodes once n a while but they are less.. Anyone having these problems should try seeing an acupuncturist it may help.

All of your stories are bringing me to tears. I have recently starting having weird headaches, numbness and pain. Ever since I moved to Philadelphia I feel as though I was doing so much to get on my feet and take care of my two kids, that I didn't have time to think about health. Now that hings are kind of getting better I feel a sense of what if something happens to me, what will happen to my kids. I cant even sleep at night for fear that I will not get back up, because of all these weird feeling I've been having. I seen my doctor and he thinks its migrains and anxiety, I ve been to the ER from a dizzy spell had a CT done it came back neg, I switched my doctor to another onebecause I feel like he doesn't listen to me. So im due for a follow up exam with my new doctor and she is going to address all my concerns. Im so happy to come on here and see  list of individuals who suffer from th grief of dealing with this. I cant ever remeber having these feelings but for the past 6 or so months. I just want to be my old happy self again. I hate the pressure and pain behind my eyes, I want to rule any serious condictions out  the rib cage pain neck and head pain Im just ready to be able to go to bed and not think about dying. As I writethese words to guys Im crying cause even though we all are in agony I feel happy to know Im not alone or crazy

Tony, (and anyone else experiencing tingling, or flushing feelings in head, arms, and legs),

Your home could be to blame.  I suffered from mold toxicity.  Got out of the house.  This is a very real, very dangerous illness.  Please go to moldmissionary.org if you have symptoms that Dr.'s can't explain!!  Thank you, and God bless!
