Hi sorry for this as I try not to dwell on any symptoms but this one's re4ally starting to worry me.
For the past 4 days I've been getting the following but it's getting worse and more often. It can happen suddenly and regardless of wether I am relaxing or moving about.
I get a sudden feeling of pressure building up in my ears and around my temple area which is horrible.
It's like my ears have suddenly become 'full' are going to burst.
I also get a feeling of tightness in my throat and occasionally I get a very short but noticeable little pain in the left side of my neck (near where I presume my artery is) and have had the odd similar pain in the side of my left wrist, the area which follows the line of my little finger down into my wrist if that makes sense.
I go really lightleaded and very tired all of a sudden and I feel like I have no oxygen going to my head and like a band of pressure is all over it.. and I go a bit breathless.
I have a odd sensation in the right hand side of my chest too like a fluttery bubbling.
I had my blood pressure checked on thursday by the nurse at the GP's surgery. I just walked in and asked for someone to check it as I felt weird.
It was higher than normal ie 150/100 which I know is not that bad as I'm on bp tablets anyway so that doesn't concern me however when the nurse looked at my past visits she noticed that I had mentioned heaviness and tingling on my left side many times but the doctor had never taken any notice... I had also mentioned the blurred vision I sometimes get and she was supprised he hadn't taken that into account either.
She has booked me in for an ECG with her in the surgery on Monday as I haven't had one for two years since starting on my bp tablets so she said it may be a good idea to have another one.... but she said if I got anymore symtoms to go straight back... I can't cos they are closed
I'm just a little bit concerned as while I'm typing this it is starting to happen again, I wonder if that is because I am sitting down and restricting my blood flow or something.
I know it sounds probably like anxiety but I've never had this before and it lasts about 20 minutes although in bed last night it seemed to last a couple of hours and I couldn't even lie down as I went so lightheaded again like I had no oxygen and my head was not part of the rest of me.
Deep breathing and relaxing doesn't seem to make it go away.
Does anyone else get this? should I be concerned as I can't ring my docs as they are closed... should I ring the hospital or NHS direct....or is it just another case of boddy playing tricks with me.:shrug:
Sorry for the long post and cant ckeck for spelling mistakes or typos as I'm typing quick before my other half reaslises I'm on here.:blush:
Thanks
