Hi, im a new member. Im 19 years old and
have been having this problem that no
doctor seems to understand. It started
when I was about 13, its hard to explain
so bare with me...Well I guess what
happens first is that my eye sight will go
black, I can still see some things but its
all blurry and dark. (if you take your
index finger and press on the side of your
eye an wait your sight will do the same
thing) then I have this massive head rush,
almost like im being choked, sometimes it
feels like im drowning,i get a taste like
I swallowed a bunch of water an got it up
my nose an everything will feel foggy and
dream like. After the 5-10 second head
rush with my heart pounding my eyes go
back to normal but I can see my pulse
beating through my eyes and I can hear it
in my ears too. Then my face actually
goes numb. And all that is then
accompanied with fatigue after. Sometimes
when there really bad I actually lose
conscienes and collapse, after I lose my
memory for like 10 seconds to, I wont
remembered how I fell.
This has been happening to me everyday
about 5-15 times a day for the last 7
years...I just need some advice about what
you may think it is cause honestly I dont
know. After this started I noticed my
short term memory got worse, im constantly
tired even if I sleep for 10 hours an lay
in bed for the rest of the day I will
still be fatigued, the heat makes me black
out more, im sensitive to cold, I have a
lot of pain in my lower legs, like an
uncomfortable pain, my muscles randomly
twitch alot in my back and legs some in my
face, I get headaches alot that are
sensitive to light umm...I noticed that my
heart beats really weird like one beat
will feel much stronger but slower. These
things are what I experience everyday. I
have gone to doctors, my e.K.G was fine,
my e.E.G was fine, so was my 24 hour
e.E.G, iv been tested for many things like
thyroid, diabetes, and anemia but it was
all negative, my c.A.T scans where fine
to. Any advice would help my search.
Thank you.

I strongly suggest you see a neurologist.
If you do not get any reception there go
see a neurosurgeon. You have symptoms of a
possible Chiari Malformation, as stated
above, or some other vascular problem in
your head. A CT scan will not reveal this
type of problem. An MRI/MRA is necessary
to find this type of problem. A
neurosurgeon would be most helpful with
sorting through these symptoms.
