Wondering if this is really anxiety. IT's really HARD to describe but here goes:
I had this weird spell last November in grocery store. I was pushing a cart full of groceries and suddenly felt this weird feeling in my head. Nothing was spinning but I guess maybe it was some kind of dizziness, I really don't know. I then felt like I was weak and my muscles were really stiff and heavy feeling. I felt like I could barely move. I had to call my hubby to pick me up.
Anyway, that was months ago and I have been glad that I haven't felt that way since. Not until this week. I have had the same feeling 3 times this week while cooking supper. It's like I'm almost finished preparing the food and it hits. I then make it to the couch and lie down for a few minutes. After a while I am okay. I have really tight muscles. Tight calf muscles in back of legs, tight upper back, shoulder and neck muscles. I have also been having problems with my right shoulder. Not really pain in the joint but if I do a lot with it (like right now, typing this, it is getting really tight. It is sort of like a pulling down the inside of my arm from the shoulder to the elbow. Like right now, it is hard to type.
Anyway, it seems like when I get this awful head feeling that I am always doing something with my arms, like preparing food, shopping, pushing cart, moving my head around a lot, etc. I wonder if everything getting tight could make my head feel this weird. It is so scary. When it happens I feel like I can only take small shuffling steps because my legs feel so stiff.
I have been feeling more off in the head this past week. Felt a wave of dizziness when washing my hair in the shower. It was when I had my arms up shampooing, I felt like for a split second I had to grab onto something.
Anyway, I won't go on and on, I know my symptoms are strange, I went to a neurologist a few years ago and I had lots of MRIs on head and neck. Just wondering if ANYBODY had any ideas. I am also seeing a chiropractor. My spinal xrays are improving, but my muscles sure aren't getting any better.
Thanks to all who read this long post.
