Unexpected Attack


20 years ago 0 444 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I am still wheeling about what happened a few hours ago, I am so dizzy and weak I can barely walk. I had two pretty decent days especially yesterday, I was reading the newspaper having a cup of coffee when BAM out of the blue my whole side of my head started to hurt I started to shake and sweat and tingle, I could barely see straight, I thought "this is it I am having a stroke and dying" it lasted about 40 minutes it was hell! I took 1/2 klonopin that stopped the shaking but now I am very dizzy from it and so very weak, sick to my stomach I feel like I am losing my vision, that one took so much out of me, I feel like I was in a boxin ring or something, this was so bad because for two days I felt alright, I am suppossed to go grocery shopping and I am scared to leave the house because of the dizziness. I am convinced I have some tumor growing or something to cause this, the dizziness is new and its so scary, it may be the Paxil and Klonopin. My son is very upset about things in school and needs me so much I am so afraid how am I ever going to recover then I start to thing "maybe its something worse than just panic" I am so depresed now with all these health anxiety worries, its so cruel how it sneaks up on you, I am on medication and praying so hard I do not know what else I can do?? Sorry to vent, I am just shell-shocked at the intensity of it, I thought the meds would if not erase it ease it a little, I feel very discouraged. THanks for listening. God bless everyone I hope everyone is having a much better day than me. Debbie.
