Question: Opinions, please!?
For the past few days I have been getting light headed, consistantly too!. If I am walking or moving I get light headed and for a split second my whole body will tingle and kinda go numb!. The best way for me to describe it is!.!.!. flashes!. My head hurts all over but it is a dull, throbing pain!. It is a little harder to breath!.!.!. not much but noticable, nonetheless!. I have regular migraines and this is nothing like a normal migraine!.!.!. however last year I had an odd migraine where one side of my body went so numb I couldn't move my limbs and I couldn't even speak - all that came out was sound!. It is very scary if you are going thru it!.!.!. my mom thought I was having a stroke!. I am 22 but strokes at a young age run in my family very, very much so about two weeks after that happened I went to the doctor and they just laughed at me!. I need to know what this could be!.!.!. any information will help please!. Sorry so long and thank you to anyone who answers :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It sounds to me by the second description you had a mild stroke!. There is no migraine that has those symptoms, but a headache like that can be one of the symptoms of a stroke!. If strokes run in your family, you may not be able to prevent it!. But you can take good care of yourself and your health!. Eat a good diet, keep your weight under control, exercise, and if you ever have symptoms like this again, go to a hospital!! Also avoid the risk factors which could further increase your chances for a stroke!.
Tobacco use
High cholesterol levels
Inactive lifestyle
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Heavy alcohol use
Atrial fibrillation, which is an unsteady heart rhythm
Get a total physical and checkup!. The doctor may want to perform some tests and make sure there is nothing else going on with you (run some scans), etc!.
I myself had this done a couple years ago when I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad headache, blacked out, fell over and injured my arm, and the next day every muscle in my body was so sore I could barely move them!. I also had memory loss!. My tests came out normal but they told me I might have had a seizure or a SEVERE migraine!. Migraines can actually cause a loss of consciousness but to my knowledge NOT the loss of feeling on one side of the body like what you described!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like sezures(probley spelled that wrong) i suffered from them till i was about 10!. I had them happen all the time to me where it would feel like my whole body went numb and i couldn't talk or move for about 1-5 minutes!. Then after a few minutes it went away and i was completely fine!. And do also remember having terrible head aches where i couldn't even open my eyes because it hurt so bad!. Hope this helps a little!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i don't know if this helps but, my ex-girlfriend use to have dizzy spells and some of your other symptoms!. she was seeing a physical therapist for a long time!. bottom line, she had some sort of nerve damage in her neck!. She went through the same thing with the doctors too!. they had no idea what it was for a long tme!. hope you find an answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
definitely stroke symptoms, if you have anymore call 911 or go to the ER!. you could have had a blood clot from somewhere else that broke loose!. I would never go back to the doctor that laughed!. They should have done the test as soon as possible!. Shame on that doctor! Best wishes!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
i would go to a brain doctor to make sure everything is okay!.
if youve been in teh heat alot, this could spark the dizziness,
so you need to get plenty of fluids, (such as gatorade), and increase your salt intake!. sorry, that is all i can think of!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should definately tell the Dr about your families medical history!. Before tuesday you should try to avoid labored activities, take it easy!. Try to keep a no stress state of mind!. I remeber hearing about a disease where the brain does not get enough oxygen!. I don't remeber the name because I heard about it on a special about the Wiggles!. (Don't laugh my kid used to watch them) The guy in the yellow shirt had this problem all of the side effects that you just described!. Your Dr should send you in for an MRI with and without contrast!. It doesn't matter how old you are, teenagers have had strokes or anurisms!. The only thing you can do is catch it early!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
