I am a 59 year old female, and for the past 8 months or more, I have been getting tingling up the left side of my face, and half of the left side of my head. This happens on passing urine, a full bladder, and sometimes a bowel movement. When this occurs, I also get a funny feeling in my upper abdomen, similar to being on a roller coaster. If I touch the back of my neck, I also get tingling from my thighs down into my feet.
I also get the tingling, if I get excited or afraid. This seems to come up from my spine, to the back of my head, which gives me a strange and weird feeling all over my head, as if something bad is about to happen, and I get short of breath.
I have also had tests done for a Pheochromocytoma, due to blood pressure spikes, chest pain, facial flushing/pallor,tremors, anxiety, rapid heartrate and headache. These symptoms occur together when I have the attacks. When the attacks subside, after about 20 minutes, I am freezing cold, which seem to be inside my body rather than outside. I am also very intolerant to heat.
I have had urine tests, Ultrasound and CT scans, which came back normal.
I would be grateful for any advice, about these on going problems.
