Help Question about Strange Symptoms?

[caronp25]

I have been having these strange symptoms and wonder if anyone has insight as to what it could be.  I will sometimes start with a feeling of a sick stomach like my stomach is tring to jump out of me then feel a warm hot flush go over my whole body. I have strange smell sensations that will make me gage and dry heave. My face feels hot and flushed, short of breath, dizzy, and when I move my head I get a shocky zapping go up into my head and down my spine. It will last 1-3 minutes and then will let up. The shocking zapping feeling and dizzieness continue for a few days and the dizziness will sometimes last for months. I will at times end up getting a real bad headache and feel real fatigued for the rest of the day. If any one can shed some light on this I would really appricaite it.

I little about my self, I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, IBS, and  migraines.
Thank you in advance for anyone who might have any ideas whatmight be going on. I can not get any answers from my doctor I know I have a lot going on but I would really like some help. At times these syptoms get so bad I feel like I'd be better off dead. I don't even like to think like that. Thanks again.

I am not sure what it could be that you have, but I can suggest that you have your doctor due a full and thorough blood tests.  Since birth I have practically lived in hospitals.  I was a very sick child.  I was diagnosed with so many things, including IBS, Fibromyalgia, RA, epilepsy (turn out to be false), Leukemia (thank God false alarm), etc.  My list is over 27 years so it is long.  However, one doctor.  One good doctor, took my entire history and saw them not as separate but as a whole and did tests.  A bunch of them, that is how he found out that I had undiagnosed hypothyroid, addison and hashiomoto thryroidis.  after many reading and research I have discovered that this tiny thyroid can cause havoc on the body and be responsible for many symptoms when not treated.  So my only suggestion is have the doctor run tests, full and thorough, including white cell counts, FT3, FT4, vitamin deficiencies, etc.  In this way, you can once and for all you can try to get the answer that you are seeking.

I wish you better health and good fortune on your journey to recovery.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since you have IBS, you must test for H pylori infection and gastric reflux. Both these conditions can cause abnormal taste and smell, facial flushing, dizziness etc. Also test for all female hormones. The symptoms can be due to menopause too. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
