What could this possibly be?

I was at work the other day, doing everything I usually would and out of nowhere I experienced multiple symptoms that my doctor cannot explain to me. I was helping a customer at work, as usual. Unstressed, hydrated and I had eaten well that day. I started to feel nauseous, sweaty and week quite fast. I had to stop everything I was doing and head to the bathroom, but on the way I kept blacking out and falling over. Somehow made it to the rest room and collapsed on the floor. I was sitting against the wall holding my head trying to wake up and my ears started burning. It felt like they were on fire inside my ear drums. My jaw locked up and then my fingers, hands and forearms went numb and tingly and it was a struggle to keep conscious. Then my throat ached and i started to wheeze.I was not panicking or gasping for air. I was breathing normally and slowly up to that point. What happened to me?   >Nauseous, sweaty, blacking out, burning ears, locked jaw, forearms down numb, sore throat, shortness of breath.
I eat healthy, exercise often, no allergies to anything, and am taking a low dose thyroid medicine.

He will take a blood test to see how your body is managing on the lower dose and if not, will gradually increase the dosage.

It's a bit of a trial and error.

Hope you don't experience anymore "funny" does.

Best wishes.

He told me he was going to give me the lowest dosage of medication and see how it works, then work our way up from there. I go back in to find out in a couple of weeks.

As your doctor doesn't know what this all was, it may be that you had these symptoms due to an allergic reaction to something or a virus.

Has your doctor checked your blood to make sure your dosage of thyroid medicine is working properly?
