One day just like that, I took a dizzy/lightheaded spell, then after it I got palpitations then starting shakin/got sweaty hands.
I was takin to hospital and they took a few blood tests, they put me on a heart monitor for 2 days then they gave me a ecocardiagram, everything came bck normal, but the hospital never done any check of my head.
I told them I got a lightheaded feeling in my head as well as a really wierd feeling in my head for no reason, should the hospital carried out a CT/MRi of my head.
Now I'm really in a panic about this dizzy feeling that I had and I'm still having them. My Dr has put it down to Anxiety but I'm not to sure, all they say is we don't think there is any thing in your head, I'm really scared.
My Symtoms in order:: lightheaded/palpitations/slight pains in my head/shakin/sweaty hands/numbness on my left hand/pinky..PLEASE HELP!! THANKS

hello Andrew

Did they only do a basic blood count?For sure the drs. didn't investigate your symptioms thoroughly.

It's very easy and typical for drs. nowadays to just brush off patients symptoms as just being anxiety.panic and depression.

What I would suggest to you is that you get a copy of your blood labs and any other tests you had and then you can post the results here and maybe we can see if there's anything that is off.

Your symptoms could mean a variety of things...so it's not right for any of us here to just guess,but we certainly can try to help you with trying to point you in the right direction so that you can hopefully get siome ideas of what kind of tests might be helpful.

So try and get copies of your tests,okay?Post back anytime~glad to have you here on the brain & nervous system board.

Sorry you had to wait so long to get a reply,but there's many of us here that will be glad to help you figure out what may be gouing on with your health.

take care Andrew~
