Hello all I hope some of you may have an idea of whats happening to me,
Over the last year or so I've been having this weird sensation around once a month or so lasting around 2 days, however lately they have become more frequent and now almost a daily occurance.
The sensation is very strange, almost like that feeling you get when you feel like your about to fall out of bed and you "jump" however its not as intense as that, another way of explaining it is like the feeling you get the instant before you faint but without the intense light headedness or vision problems, but it does leave me feeling like I have an adrenaline rush, like my heart is beating hard. Also after a longer episode (like im currently in and have been for about an hour) I feel increasingly nauseous tired. I just want to note that at no point in any of these episodes do i have any problems with my vision at all, though sometimes they do lead into a headache though i had fairly frequent headaches for about 10 years (Im a 25 year old male).
The medications I take are Amitryptaline 50mg/night (for help with sleep/pain from untreatable IBS) and Sertraline 100mg/morning (for help with Anxiety when I'm having an IBS episode).
I've had odd heart issues for the last few years where I have rare episodes of an extremly fast heart rate where my bpm would be about 150, slowing to a resting rate of around 130 bpm and on a day without an episode my resting rate was around 90-120bpm, although I'm not entirely sure these are related as the current sensations seem to be caused by rapid eye movement left or right (never up or down).
The feeling of passing out, adrenaline rush, headaches etc can be due to side effects of Amytryptaline and sertaline (this cana lso cause nausea after a dizziness). Please consult your doctor regarding this. While the symptoms can also be due to ear problems, blood pressure problems and spinal nerve compression in the neck, it is important to rule out the possibility of side effects of drugs. Take care!
