Swaying when Driving

Hi

Had a scarey moment today. We were at friends and I worry about Blood pressure. We had a noodle supper with a lot of soy sauce in. I thought it had a lot of salt in and worried about my Blood Pressure going up and giving me a stroke. Later while sitting down I felt a strange but plesant feeling down my Right arm, like a shiver or rush. This started me worrying that it was a mild stroke or the start of one. Any way on the way home I felt my self feeling very unsteady while driving on the motorway. I felt very unsafe and this made the swaying even worse. I pulled over on to the hard sholder and let my wife drive. I am now at home and still swaying while sat down. I took 150mg of asprin just in case....very scarey.

Hi

Your post set me thinking that maybe it was the soya sauce or more importantly the MSG in the soya sauce that gave you these feelings. I know from personal experience that i suffer after eating anything containing it?!

do you think deep down you knew as soon as you had the soy sauce you would be panicking about it and it was just anxiety

Thanks

I am sure, well nearly, that it was just anxiety. When the panic comes you cannot think rationally and this makes everything worse. Each time I get this swaying feeling I worry it is something sinister. The next day when it has gone I feel ok again until the next time.

Thanks for the support.
