Episodes

[Jessi2009]

I'm Jessica! I'm a college student. I'm having these episodes. I've had seven like this in the past year. I have chest pains, heavy-chested feeling, neck pain, extreme migraines, double vision at times, and dizziness. I had a similar experince 3 years ago. It was a blackout, no hearing, bad heache, and heavy chest feeling but it passed in about 15 minutes. These current episodes can last up to a day now. I'm really worried it's nurological. My mom said when I was little I should symptoms of Muscular Dystrophy and also Mutiple Scerolisis (sp?). I was dignosed at 17 with Degenerative Disc Disease. It's in my neck and possible back. I have no insurance and I don't have much money. So I'm turing to experts that may be able to help me.

Hey,
I just had another simlar attack last night. It was severer and lasted much longer. It lasted till 9pm and it was 4pm when it started. I have a very light attack today it started at 2pm and it's lasted til now (7pm). So yeah. I'm okay. though. I will see what I can do about seeing a doctor. My mom dosen't like me seeing a doctor unless I absolutely have too.

You require a profesional medical evaluation. By an M.D. In person.

In the United States look up Hill-Burton Hospitals, contact a social worker at the facility and they will arrange for you to be evaluated without regard to insurance.

As an alternative seek a clinic, register, see a social worker and they will set you up with a physician and work something out.

Your symptoms are nothing to fool around with.
