... I was feeling a bit anxious (as always). Then all of a sudden, somehitn happened. I felt very detached/fogy form the world. I BRAIN felt doomy/cloudy/dak^white colour. This is what I felt on my brain, not my vision. My heart started to beat fast, but, slow at the same time with a powereful, slow beat. My hands started to shake... I felt very detahced, and confused, balcked out in my brain... I even was going to stop a couple walking towards me to ask them to call me the anbulance, but I didn't, I phoned my Mum instead. On the phone, I couldn't make out what I wanted to say... was heard to say words... or to think. The whole thing lasted for about 5minutes.

What was that? It was very scary and with the thigns that's been happening to me lately, I'm gettig worried... it seems this thing is after me and getting stronger.

sounds like one of my auras....you should go to a doctor.

Thanks, wow, don't know what it is :S... gotto look it up...

Oh, and before this happened, left half of my head and neck muscles felt very tense, hard... maybe that was something to do with what happened to day later?

MandiX, could you actually tell me what auras is please? Thank you.

Mandi:

Go see a Doctor - DON'T self-diagnose. This could be an aura or even a panick attack - have it checked out!

Good Luck!

I'm going to seem my GP tomorrow :)... and I'm a 22 year old male :p hehehe :)...

Hope it's no aura :(... I'm scared if it is :(...

Somehting similar happened to me some months ago... I was with my class mate, and something happened to me that, I was walking, and something happened that I just, stared into space confused but still thinking, couldn't say whatever I wanted to say... I felt like I was gonna faint and then it went away after a minute or so. :S

Right, back from my GP. I told her what happened and she said, it sounds like it's anxiety. I don't think it could be a stroke or migrane or anything like this because it wouldn't just come and then you getter better after 15 minutes. She said it's anxiety. She's refered me to CBT now, gotto wait a few months though. She said, if/when it happens again, I should call the ambulance or go to the emergency myself, so they could see me WHILE that thing is happening to me.

But yes, she says it's anxiety.


Scary thing. I've had it for over a year and my symptoms vary. Sometimes it's so scary it feels like I have something wrong with my brain.

Thank you for your input everyone! :)

I feel better now. I must admit that, before I went to see her, I was afraid to go out by myself and felt faint and very anxious, but as soon as I left the office, I felt much better. I felt healthy!

Hope CBT will help me. :)

Thank you and keep safe everyone! Do reply if you have anything to add :D

Hi Sonalized,
I'm Glad You Went To See A Doc. What Is A Cbt? I Need To Look It Up. Why Are They Having You Wait A Couple Of Months For This Test??

I Have Spells As Well. In The Er For The Second Time, A Neuro Doc Said I Was Having A Seizure. After Hospitalize 4 Days They Found No Trace Of Epilepsy. Refered To A Stress Counselor. She Said That She Was Not Going To Charge Me For The 1/2 Visit. She Said It Would Be Like Taking Advantage Of Me.this Is Not The Problem She Stated.
I Have Been To 2 Neuro, 1 Cardiologist, Lung Specialist, Er Twice
Hospitalized 4 Days. Next Week Im Visiting A Clinic In Santa Barbara
2 Hrs Away. For A 3 Day Evaluation. This Has All Started For Me Since March.
What Im Trying To Say Is, It Can Be A Long Road For A Sure Answer. I Hope It Can Be A Shorter Road For You. Anxiety Can Mimic Many Things. Good Luck!! Keep Us Posted!~

CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Theraphy.

Hmmmss... when I read posts a lot of people talk how they've had this and that test. I never had any testes, except for bloody. I never had any brain scans or anything. But I do get extremely bad dizziness and such. GP's just say it's anxiety. Meh. It's gonna me a long road I take it... It's been over a year now and I'm still here, still suffering. Gonna take time for sure... but what can I do about it... not much :)

PETALS, by the way, what did a Neurologist do to you? What tests did he do? I've seen one. Would just like to know how he helped you and what tests he did. Thanks.

THE FIRST NEURO DOC RAN A EEG AT HIS OFFICE. HE SENT ME TO HAVE A CT SCAN. THESE ALL CAME BACK NORMAL. HE TOLD ME I COULD RETURN TO WORK. I FELT HE WAS NOT LISTENING TO ME, OR BELIEVING IN ME.I BELIEVE IT WAS DUE TO THE CONCLUSION FROM THE ER. THIS WAS AFTER MY FIRST TRIP TO THE ER.
MY MD DOC ORDERED BLOOD WORK.THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWED UP WAS (SLIGHT) ENEMEA.
WHEN HOSPITALIZED APPROX 3 WEEKS LATER, THIS IS WHEN I CHANGED NEURO DOCS SINCE THIS DOC SEEN MY SEIZURE ACTIVITY WHEN I CAME THROUGH THE ER. HE DID STATE TO MY HUSBAND I WAS HAVING SEIZURES.
THEY RE-RAN, CT SCAN, MRI, EEG, (W AND W/O VIDEO MONITORING).
MY VISIT TOMMARROW FOR MY 3RD OPINION IN SANTA BARBARBA, I'M GOING TO REQUEST A 24 HR EEG. MY SPELLS HAVN'T BEEN MONITORED DURING A SPELL. IT WAS REQUESTED THAT I VISIT A STRESS THERAPIST. IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO AGREE W/THEM TO SEE THE THERAPIST.
WHEN I DID GO, I WENT IN WITH A OPEN MIND, I JUST WAS WANTING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. DURING THE VISIT THE THERAPIST STOPPED DURING OUR SESSION.SHE SAID FOR ME, I DONT NEED THERAPY I NEED MEDS TO CONTROL THE SEIZURES. SHE WOULD NOT CHARGE FOR THE VISIT.
I ALSO HAVE RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME. MEDS THAT CONTROL PARKINSONS
ALSO TREAT RLS. IM TOLD THE MEDS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, BUT IM NOT CONVINCED 100%. MY MD DOC HAS NOT RELEASED ME TO RETURN TO WORK YET. I HAVE LOST MY DRIVERS LICENSE FOR 6 MONTHS,AND MY JOB COULD BE AT STAKE. I HOPE TO HAVE SOME SOLID ANSWER SOON.
JUST HAVE A OPEN MIND. IF YOU FEEL YOUR SPELLS ARE BECOMING MORE OFTEN, AND YOUR DOC IS NOT MOVING AS FAST AS YOU WOULD LIKE, GET FIRM WITH WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU FEEL YOUR BEING PUT OFF, FIND ANOTHER NEURO DOC.
HOPE THIS HELPS
