Hi
I have been trying really hard to get a grip of all the feelings I'm having and have been putting them down to anxiety. The pains I have in my leg are due to a muscle problem and inflamed nerve, no DVT, but dr said I did the right thing to get it checked out.
So all was well until last night when I was sitting watching the tv when all of a sudden I got like this chemical rush through my mouth and entire head. I can't describe the taste but it was definitely a sort of chemical one.It's hard to describe but it felt like my head filled with some sort of chemical and the back of my eyes started stinging. It's wasn't like the usual adrenalin rushes I have had where it feels like hot liquid coursing through my head from back to front. My whole head felt like it at the same time. I went into an almighty panic and was convinced that I was going to drop dead. I felt so lightheaded and as though i didn't know where I was. Dave just ignored me cos he thought I was blowing everything out of proportion. I went to bed to try and sleep it off but this morning, my eyes still feel a bit sore at the back and I feel really lightheaded, my head is tight too.
Please someone tell me they've experienced a similar feeling. I really want to try and enjoy Easter but know i won't if I feel like this and of course things are that bit worse cos the drs are now closed until after Easter so I can't get any reassurance there. Not that I would necessarily go, more the fact that I know I can't that bothers me.
Early in the evening I had had a panic because I'd put some ibuprofen gel on my leg and then read I shouldn't use it with the inderal I'm on. I rang NHS direct and after waiting nearly an hour they called me back and told me not to use it again but that I should be ok. Do you think that the odd sensations later on were just a delayed reaction to being worried earlier. I had got myself in a state, couldn't breathe, had trapped air in my chest and was wretching with fear.
Help me get back on the positve horse guys. I'm really annoyed because was just starting to get the neurological worries under control and then get hit with something new
Hugs
