Headaches and heightened senses

[Trying2bAnonymous]

Hiya all!
A few details about me:
Age: 21 in July
Weight: 70kg
Height: 5’2-5’4
Not married or in a relationship
Don’t smoke or drink
Don’t drive yet (still on classes)
I work 8:30- 5:30, go home and chill out or study and go to bed. Nothing else, except shopping once in a while. I don’t have much of an appetite but complete all 3 meals.

I've been having nausea,heightened senses (Hearing,smells and taste) along with a few other symptoms.

A few weeks back I visited the hospital complaining of memory loss,breathing problems,frequent thirst and chest pains. My "doctor" who is a "specialist" had a CT scan done on me which was clear and showed my brain as healthy so he prescribed Vitamin B tablets (Neuroton, 1 tablet a day after any meal) which worked a bit. I used to have trouble remembering what I was doing it had gone to the extent of forgetting how to do a tick mark even if I had been **** it for the past 10 minutes and having panic attacks while ordering from a menu at a restaurent! He told me to take the tabs for a month and come back again incase I get worse.

Well.. although the tabs were helping I had a sudden vision loss in my right eye just last week. Vision started coming back accompanied by "floaters" (Large black blotches here and there). When I had regained my vision I had a piercing pain above my left eye. Obviously, I had panicked with the vision loss and asked my mum to get me from work, we reached the hospital in 15minutes and despite Airconditioning I felt REALLY hot and had the worst nausea attack I can recall. By the time I was on the hospital bed I was unable to sit for the nurse to take my blood pressure. A few minutes later ANOTHER "specialist" comes in and asks me about my symptoms. Then came the squeeze my finger test which I could barely close and push my hand upward with your leg which I couldn't do as well. He ordered an Xray for me as he noticed migrane lines on my left eye which I had complained had a piercing pain. He left saying my symptoms are "really serious" and that he will call my first doctor to come ASAP. This was around 12:15.

During the Xray (Which I was sitting the entire time) I couldn't raise my hands up to support myself while leaning the side of my face against the slab. They had me on a pain killer and saline via drip after having so much trouble looking ofor my vein which has never been a problem previously during my other checkups or in normal life as my wrists are really bony and my veins have always stuck their bright blue out.

A few hours later my doctor gets back to me when I wake up and tells me my doctor will be in at 4:00... well I was feeling slightly better anyways and no more nausea (which was after being switched on the saline.. the pain killers helped only slightly.) As 4:45 rolls by my doctor that was supposed to come ASAP comes in with my new specialist and tells me my xray and CT is perfectly fine I probably have a migrane due to stress and asked if I had any stress at work to which I replied just the normal stress that I’ve been facing for the past 2.5 years so nothing new. They called in an eye specialist as well who confirmed my eye sight from both eyes were 100%.

DURING this time… my mother had a word with the doctors who scared the living beegeezers out of her by claiming that either I’m lying about the serious symptoms OR that I have a hidden relationship somewhere and the stress built up from this “secret” is causing all this to happen. Both of which was a WHOLE lot of bull. Anyway they gave me Zomig for when I have a migrane and Myogesic to take 3 times a day.
Today,i.e; 4-5 days later. I feel sick as hell - nausea and this REALLY horrible headache . I can’t turn my head or bend that’s when the pain intensifies. I took both my meds including the Zomig migrane killer and nothing doing!

Any idea whats wrong with me? I assure you that I am NOT lieing nor do I have a relationship stashed somewhere…

Thank you all for your replies :)

I'm hanging onto candies in my purse (no grumbling here!!)

Frogmasta: I've done ECG's and always been clear. I've been given some Migrane meds (Zomig) any idea if thats a good substitute to Migrane shots?

OK WHAT EVER DOCTOR TOLD YOUR MOTHER THAT YOUR WERE LYING IS A *****! Now that that's cleared up, i think you might have cardiovascular problems. Although, this might not be the case. I too have migraines and have had this before. There is nothing you can do for them except take medication and try not to get stressed. When your headaches get really bad, you can go to your doctor's and get a migraine shot. This works imideatly and is very effective. Excersise and eating right will reduce your chances of heart problems, but you may want to talk to your doctor about the possibility of you even having heart problems.

So, from what I researched online, you have hypoglycemia with a level of 50 which it sounds like they recommend something sweet, but if it goes lower than 50, it can affect brain function and is considered a medical emergency.  (See PM for more info.)

Probably won't hurt to get tested for some mosquito carried things then, since you were bit!

Thanks for your comment! Wasn't expecting to get one until a week later or so!

They took some blood tests and I've got an appointment tommorow but not sure I want to go incase the splurt some more things thats just going to annoy me and scare my mum.

As my parents both have diabetes and their parents before them we have a OneTouch machine at home and last I checked (which was a week or 2 back) it was normal. I've noticed that when I get my panic attacks,fatigue,etc my sugar level is low (Around 50). I don't usually shy away from sweets and I make sweets and cakes as a hobby.

I haven't got any results as of yet but I'm sure they didn't do any tests for infection.

More info: I was in Sri Lanka and Malaysia a few months back (Late Feb to early March) and the weather was unbearably humid as opposed to the Middle East where I reside. Obviously I was bitten my mosquitoes but I've been bitten before as well when I've visited Srilanka.

Sometimes doctors are rude individuals- but there are some nice, caring ones out there too.  Since your problem intensifies with movement of your neck, and you have intense migraine with nausea, have they checked for spinal meningitis?  Have they done an MRI of your cervical spine?  

If you were dehydrated which can happen to many people so easily, the veins can be more difficult to get.  Also, with your frequent thirst, have they checked your for diabetes?  With your chest pains and headache, did they check your blood iron and ferritin (iron stores) to be sure iron deficiency was not contributing to your symptoms?  Did they make sure you did not have any kind of infection?

What is your blood pressure like with the headache?
