Sudden Attacks of Nausea, Hand Parathesia, Abdominal Pain Posted: 10-01-07 06:24am
I'm searching for any suggestions on
possible cause of intense, intermittent
attacks. I very suddenly become aware of
an unpleasant sensation in my head. It's
not painful, but it makes me feel very
queer. Almost like a build up of pressure
in my head. My face feels warm, my eyes
feel as if they are bulging and become
very blood shot and my face and neck go
bright red.
I feel intensely nauseous, often severe
enough to make me vomit within a few mins
of onset. I get palpitations and can feel
a pulse like blood being pumped to my
head. My stomach at this point is
perfectly fine and not to blame for the
sickness, the vomiting seems to be induced
by the sensation in my head.
It is also always accompanied by a strong
stinging/itching to my hands. The back of
my head can feel sensitive, perhaps due to
the heat, which can make it itch.
It often occurs in the early hours of the
morning and will wake me from sleeping.
All this lasts approx 15 to 20 mins, and
as it starts to deminish the abdominal
pain starts. Low and central in my
stomach - a constant almost burning but
intense pain, with very short waves to it.
This lasts about an hour in response to
Ibruprofen. It is sometimes then followed
by a slight spotting of vaginal blood, but
not everytime.
When the attacks started they were every 2
or 3 months, but in the last 6 months have
become more frequent – the last 2 were
only 3 days apart. Only one of these was
followed by spotting.
Although the intense sensation at it's
worst is only with me for approx 20 mins,
it leaves me very drained and week for 24
hours.
My GP ordered several blood test and a 24
hr urine test which came back normal. My
last smeer was also normal. After the
last attack with excruciating pain and 3
days of bleeding I was sent to
gynacologist. Examination and abdominal
scan all came back normal so Neurological
investigations have now been recommended.
I don't know whether it's connected but a
few days ago I noticed a couple of spots
of numbness in my right leg. Last couple
of days this has turned to a burning
sensation, like sunburn, to my outer calf,
top of foot and thigh.
It's beginning to drive me to distraction
that I can't find anything that relates
all these symptoms, so any suggestions on
where I should be heading would be most
appreciated.
