Fight or Flight?

[krystal4180]

I posted this somewhere else on here, because I don't know where to go. Anyone relate? I feel like there is something really wrong with me.

Ok, this happened to me one time before, 4 years ago. I went to the dr. they did tests and said it was probably a 1 time thing. Guess what, it happened again. Anyone else have this happen? Know what it is?
I always have 'episodes' (was told it was anxiety) I get VERY nauseus like i need to throw up or go to the bathroom. I get a hot flash and soak through my clothes. Normally I am able to lay down and close my eyes (thats the only way for it to pass, I feel faint but never do) and after 20 minutes or so it goes away and my breathing regulates. Well, the other night I wasn't at home and tried to make it to the restroom but 5 steps in I black out, I felt myself hit the floor and the next thing I know I open my eyes with people standing around me. I could see my body convulsing, I thought I couldn't breath but really I think I was trying to talk-words were coming out as garble and groans. It was kind of an out of body feeling. After about 10 seconds of thinking I was dying (literally thought i was dying, not as scary as I thought it would be, though. Felt like my body was shutting down) my breathing regulated and the twitching/convulsions stopped. I couldn't move because I was so sick still and sweat had soaked through all my clothes. After half hour I felt fine again. Im soo tired of going to the doctor, I feel like they never know what is wrong and just claim it is due to this or that.

i think you have had some panic attacks. i recently realized that i suffer from anxiety, although i don't think it's as bad as you, but i will get nauseous and feel like i'm going to throw up. i even dry-heave sometimes, but nothing comes up. i pinpointed when it happens and figured out with some help that its stress, nerves, and anxiety. perhaps you should check that out further., good luck!

I felt like i was going to throw up earlier then i had to help myself do it.I never thought vomiting was a symptom of anxiety.Has anyone else vomited because of anxiety.

to krystal
you need to see a doc and get tests done, perhaps it was a panic attack but many other things need to be checked for

krystal.......
that sounds a whole lot like what i go through before and after I faint.
I have fainted 5 times since 1994.I have had test after test after test and the same outcome NOTHING so doctors say it is anxiety/stress related.Anyway I get the same way nauseated like i will vomit or let it out the other end lol.Then I get real ligtheaded and dizzy and WAM down I go.
Of course I go totaly unconcious,but doesnt like you do that.After wards I am ugh not good.........so weak I cant get up off the floor without help,I have sweat from head to toe.......can barely talk.....and just out of it.
So hey I can relate! It is awful awful feeling....i dred it ever happening again and pray it never does.
soooooooo if I were you I would go to your doctor and get checked out good it could maybe be like what I have which they say is anxiety,or could be something else. In the meantime try not to worry and just relax if you dont it can make it worse.

let us know......take care...........Beth
