Hello everyone, I'm so glad I have found this forum. Next week I'm seeing a neurologist, after two weeks of unexplained lightheadedness, weakness in my left arm and insomnia. I can't wait for the appointnent because I really wanna know what has gone wrong with my body. Last month I quit a very stressful job and got a better one, I have friends and loving parents, everything should be fine, or at least it was until last week when I suddenly started to experience dizzy spells. Now they return only when I walk rather fast (I generally walk fast, have as long as I can remember), and at 6-7 PM, but by the time I go to bed the dizziness is usually gone.
While I am proud of myself for making an appointment with the neurologist, I am very scared of what will happen until then. Yesterday I was close to having a panic attack thinking I would die of a stroke when I felt something like electrical current running through my head and what scared me was that it quickly transferred into my leg. I'm in a constant fear something bad would happen. Every night I find it hard to fall asleep and when I do, I have nightmares. A few days ago I discovered my thoughts had become slower and most of the time I feel like I was in a dream. I occasionally get something like numbmess in my face and then I smile like a fool every two minutes to see that my face hasn't dropped and I'm not having a stroke :( I know I should stop thinking about the worst case scenario but I keep discovering symptoms that lead ne to thinking I have sth serious going on. In spring I was concerned about a hard lump on my neck. My GP told me it was just a lymph node, I had a blood test and the results came back normal but now I think the lump has grown and it might be pushing against some important arteries and therefore my brain lacks oxygen :( so now my lymphoma fears are back on track. :( I just wanted to share my worries with someone who understands. Thanks for reading and stay strong :)
