I think I had a sort of attack last night what do you think?

ok, I'm going to describe all the things I have then you can make a choice on what is wrong. I have I.B.S, lactose Intolerant, I have Acid Reflux. I have panic disorder, and OCD. Every once in awhile like last night I woke up and I didn't feel good. My stomach was hurting me. I had been takening samples of previcid for my acid reflux. I have stopped taking them because I ran out. So I woke up at like 2am with an awful tummy ache, then I felt like I was getting dizzy. I know the feeling because it's happened before. So I barely make it to the bathroom before I feel like I'm either going to faint or throw up. And I sweat like crazy. I never actually do either, but last night I gaged. Then the only thing that works for me, it to get a cold wash cloth and try and calm myself down. Among all of this, I'm also shaking, more of a tremble. woke up, walking around the room keeps turning black. Like low or high blood or sugar. What is your dignose?

I'd first look at your diet- if you have IBS and digestive disorders, I'd ask if you are on a hypoglycemia diet. Symptoms can include dizziness, racing heart, feeling weak or faint.

Then I'd ask if you've ever been tested for iron deficiency or anemia - symptoms can include dizziness, racing heart, feeling weak or faint.





Next I'd ask what you normally eat-- a healthy diet free of simple carbs and sugars? Enough protein for your weight, vegetables, lots of water, little or no caffeine. Symptoms of a bad diet can included dizziness, racing heart, feeling weak or faint.





If you happen to wake up feeling weak and dizzy, I suggest you eat something like orange juice and whole grain bread + peanut butter and see if you feel better within 30 minutes or so-- this will raise your blood sugar
Reply:heey i know the feeling. its prob a combination. i used to get panic attacks all the time. its one of the worst feelings in the world. but you seem to have a lot symptoms. i strongly suggest that u should go to the doctor and get a check up. blood test maybe xray if this is happening often. i get head rushes sometimes wen im nervous like my head starts to tickle. tell me how things go and if u get other symptoms. keep me updated


i hopeu feel better
Reply:You might have Chrohns disease, my husband and step son have it. It is an ugly disease that can reek havoc on your entire body.
Reply:I think you had a vasovagal reaction in response to the stomach pain. A vasovagal reaction is the most common cause of fainting, and the symptoms (short of fainting) include becoming sweaty, nauseous, and pale. Here's a Wikipedia source to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasovagal_s...





What caused the abdominal pain, I don't know. Probably the IBS.





By the way, you have alot of symptoms of anxiety. This is probably the cause of most of your physical symptoms. I recommend you see a psychiatrist.
