is there a Doctor or a medically interest in the house


Question Posted Monday May 31 2004, 4:06 pm

For 4 years i have had a condition that that always ends up in the "its Psychological bin" some of the content is, however much of it is reactive to the Physical, "psychologist refered me back to the Doctor"
initially there was severe spins, followed by a migraine, "this was diagnosed as inflamed tonsils"
next came the twitching upper lip,
two months after this, i was under some stress, i noticed a heavy sensation in the left side of the head, after a week i started to feel anxious, a close friend noticed that i was not behaving as normal, though she had no specific reason for thinking this at the time.
the sensation continued, as did the anxiety,
about two weeks after this sensation arose, there was a shooting feeling from the mid spine, this shot to the head where the sensation was,
the effects of this incl, loss of balance, difficulty moving the left eye, and pain to the left eye and above, sight seemed unaligned,
mental consentration impaired, visual residual, hearing imbalance,
temporal spasms "left side"
later, a lump would appear under the left ear, and also on the roof of the mouth
mental processing of information seems slow,as in the logic has gone out of everything,
painful neck, though not stiff "left"
the reactive "anxiety etc" or if i do anything physical or mentally concentrated makes the problem worse,at these times it seems to follow a line across head outside of this line the feeling is near numbness
i get migraines however these are over the top of the sensation, and i would assume these migraines are stress related
it is difficult to accept that it is all Psychological,
i was a pretty normal Being up till this, probably excessively laid back and A type in my working environment,
anyone got any idea's, suggestions

It could be a TIA like Ithielden suggested. If it is physical, you probably need a neurologist to examine you. TIA's are very difficult to diagnose, and usually don't get much extensive treatment because the symptoms go away.

Depression and anxiety actually can make you that physically ill. But for your own peace of mind, I would ask to be examined more thoroughly by another physician or specialist. If you already have seen several doctors, then it is probably psychological. That does not make it any less problematic or disruptive. Try to get a doctor who can give you good advice or treat you in a way that will improve your symptoms. They should not just be ignored because they may be psychological.

I looked up your syptoms and came up with:

A transient ischemic attack-
If you felt dizzy then had some of these syptoms: tempoary total or partial loss of vision in one or both eyes, diffculty speaking, weakness in your arms or legs or numbness and/or tingling in any part of your body and now the syptoms have dissapeared.

A Transient ischemic attack- A temporary interruption in the blood supply to the brain sometimes linked to the narrowing of the arteries.

Treatment: If your physician suspects that this is the problem, you will probably be reffered to a specialist for tests, including electrocardinary. At a later stage, you may need to undergo angiography and/or ultra sounding of the arteries. Treatment consists of taking steps to reduce factors that may contribute to the narrowung of the arteries. You may also be prescribedmedication to control high blood pressure, if you have it, and further medication to prevent the formation of blood clots. Surgery may be necessary in some cases.

Any questions or more syptoms contact me. Hope it helped,
Ithielden
