Any help or advise you can give to me or my family would be greatly appreciated.

Approximately 3 months ago, I began having feelings of nausea and general body aches.

Three weeks ago I was sitting at my office at work and began to have dizzy feelings, and began to have a sort of out of body experience. During the episode, my speech became slow. I think because of the systems I experienced some type of panic attack.

I was pretty much out of it for approximately 3 hours.

In the proceeding three weeks, I have had four similar episodes and have been in the ER four times.

Once again the symptoms are:

1) Dizziness
2) Fatigue (I cannot move my legs)
3) Tingling in the extremities
4) Slow speech ( I have a hard time finding my words)
5) Numbing in the side of my face

I had an MRI which showed some brain lesions, but the neoroligists ruled out MS without any tests (which surprised an ENT Dr. which I have seen). The MRI did show that I possibly have a blood vessel resting on the 7th and 8th nerves.

When I am not having major episodes, I have had some smaller ones. For example I was at an ENT Dr. Friday and was talking with my wife normally. The next minute, I was dizzy in the chair and having a hard time finding my words.

I am going for a balance test on Tuesday, because they think it might be a viral infection. I have also noticed my bottom number on my blood pressure has ranged from 49 to 86. I have also noticed that when I drink salt water, it seems to stop major episodes.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
