Ok people this will be hard to explain but something has been happening and it is very scary and I want to know if any of you have felt it before and if i should be concerned. Lately since PT ( we didnt even do much) I have been feeling off and dizzy. But yesterday I was sitting at the computer not really looking at it and eating a burrito. Well all of a sudden in my head it felt like everything went fuzzy...there felt like an electric charge (cant figure out how to explain it better) and felt like I was going to black out or something it was terrifying. I felt off an dizzy after that and tried to put it out of my mind as to not panic. Then the same thing ahppened again at dinner then again this morning. Maybe the PTherapist messed up my brain??? I have felt terrible ever since and this new black out feeling is scary. Have any of you ever felt that and if not what is the scariest dizzy "spell" you have had? Anything that is so scary you wanted to run to the ER and have them check your brain?? Please I dont want to panic but I havent felt this before...

Hi D&S,

Yes I get these. It feels exactly how you explained; like an electrical charge. I get them infrequently and mostly at night in my sleep as I am awakened by them. I'm not sure what they are but mine did not start until I came off the klonopin (anti-seizure/anti-anxiety med). I half wonder if it is these anti-dizzy meds.

It is a scary thing, but I can tell you I had this crap a long time and I am improving every year not getting worse. Also I have had quite a few MRI and CT Scans all with contrast over the 3 years and nothing never shows up.

Hope knowing you are not alone helps a bit. If it bothers you too much, give your doctor a call.

I get these too..... They feel like a bolt of electricity going through my head.. Some stronger than others and moreso when I exert myself... If I walk for 4-5 minutes, I will get a string of them.. almost like clearing out the build up....
