Unusual Symptoms

Hello everyone, id like just to query a few of the symptoms I am having as they are very different to anything ive experienced before.

I havent been feeling myself for approx a month now. I first went into hospital suffering from heart palpitations, panic attacks and a general feeling of horrid. I stayed in 2 days where they monitored my heart to find nothing major, they also conducted plenty of blood tests and found no clot etc.

After I came out, I felt pretty good, the palpitations were decreasing but I had a strange sensation of feeling unusual/spaced out. I visited the doctor a few more times as I looked and felt like hell. I had tingling/pins and needles in my leg and also small vision issues.

The doctors told me it was anxiety, and all of the symptoms matched up. I was not on any medication and was told to wait until I had received a 2 week monitor of my heart. This passed and I felt almost back to normal, until I started developing headaches.

The headaches began very dull, behind my left eye and at the back of my head. They did not prevent me from working, socialising or doing any normal task. I took 2 paracetemol every few days which cured it. I also had trouble with my pupils changing size constantly, which thought I might have vision problems. I had my eyes checked and they were fine, slightly short sighted etc but generally all good. There was no pressure behind the eyes and no retina issues.

When I had the headaches at first, I felt "sober" as I like to call it, except obviously having a dull/constant pain which seemed normal headaches.

The headaches over the past few days seemed to develop....on Monday, I had the usual headache which seemed to be fine until I got in the bath and suddenly felt completely out of it, nothing brought it on at all. I was shaky, couldnt focus my vision and semeed just out of it. I went to bed, woke up the next day and was fine.

After waking up the headache came on, left sided towards the back after about an hour. I ignored it, took 2 paracetemol at dinner time then it got worse....it seemed to build up until all of a sudden it felt like a firework had gone off in my head. My head was tingling immensely but the headache had gone, my arms/legs tingled and I once again felt all over the place. I developed speech problems and couldnt seem to function 100%.

Today was the worst, I woke up with a completely numb head, no pain but extremely tingly. I have been freezing cold all day and also suffered from what seemed "inner" shivers.

I started taking propanalol yesterday just as a note.

I havent had any scans, went to the doctors and they basically shudded me off again with "Anxiety". I do worry about my health, but these symptoms just seemed a lot more severe than anything id ever experienced. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi, cheers for the reply.  

I should have put in the original post my details.

I am 20 year old, Male, and usually of good health.  No issues in the past.

The doctors have quite frankly been useless, im tempted to just go straight to hospital if I feel any worse so I can figure something out there.

I have a lot of jaw ache today, which I have noticed has been due to me grinding my teeth/swinging my jaw.  It pops on one side when I open it but doesnt seem to have any tenderness.

I am urinating and drinking alot of fluids, but have had tests for diabetes several times.

I have not had any scans at all!

Thanks
