Ask them to schedule a MRI with contrast for your head. I had one done in April and they found a non-cancerous brain tumor. Get it checked out! Diane

I've had the same weird feeling. When it happens, it's sudden and of course inconvenient. I feel like I am passing out, my head feels numb. In social situations people have noticed my "episodes", though I try to hide them because my Dr. wrote it off as a panic attack (and said it was a woman thing and did not help me mediacally). They say I go pale and look really uncomfortable... After a few minutes, I start to feel better, then I get a small "chill", and it's over. I am relieved at this point but dread the next "episode".
