It started about 3 or 4 months ago when I woke up with a racing heart and very dizzy, I felt like I couldn’t breath and was really hot and sweaty that lasted for around 10 minutes and then I went back to sleep. The next one started different I woke up with a weird feeling in my upper left stomach like my stomach dropping then it travelled into my chest which gave me a lot of pressure and my heart started racing then it travelled into my head and then suddenly I go a hot patch on my neck which spread into my head and down my spine into a massive hot flush, it keep coming every 2 to 3 minutes in“waves”always in the same pattern until eventually I would get really cold and shake and then after a few minutes of that it was over, I had these every few days always when I was asleep or going to sleep.
The electric shock feeling came, it all started in the right side of my head I could feel it like a electrical cord run from my head to my should and was turned on, I had all the other symptoms stomach feeling hot flush plus I got the electric shock feeling and then my whole right side would start to tingling I got heaps of pressure in the right side of my head and sometimes I felt like I could move my leg or arm or open my right eye for a few seconds, I also felt like the right side of my face was drooping but in the mirror it wasn’t. Theses came every few days only when I was asleep or going to sleep until eventually some symptoms started to linger like my right side would feel “dead for hours” or my right eye would be blurry sometimes in just a little bit of it other times the whole eye. Then the attacks progress to include a weird symptom I will try and explain them, sometimes I feel like I am about to seize up and start shaking and screaming or moaning I see it happening and feel it but it doesn’t happen. Also when the attacks were happening the started to include a buzzing in my fingers and feet and moved from my right side to my upper body, both arms. I also get nauseas when they come now and occasionally get headaches .
The last two I have had have included a thing were I am thinking something like god I feel hot and its like my mind got stuck in a loop for about 40 seconds that thought just keep repeating in my mind over and over and I could stop it or think anything else. I also get sort of confused and feel like nothing is real. Sometimes I have flashing colors or lights or shadows in my eyes and am off balance or dizzy when its all going on. It can last for hours coming in waves of every 5 to 10 minutes and now after I have one, I get so tired I cant stay awake this is only with the night ones so maybe its because Im tired already, but so far they seem far worse when I am laying down and trying to go to sleep but as I said they are progressing into my awake time but as of yet not as bad. I also feel an internal shaking at random times and when I had my last attack I was sure I was having some sort of tremor but looking at it it was still I feel certain I am about to go into a full seizure but haven’t yet.
My right eye goes blurry to varying degrees for days on end, the tingling comes and goes can last minutes or hours. I don’t know if these are migraines without pain or seizures. My eeg had sharp waves in temporal or forntal lobe and also something aboutslow waves but he said this is seen in ppl with migraines but all I have found in seizures mentioning this, also the epigastric uprising I cant find any literature on this in migraines only seizures, also the fact in comes in waves of a night every 10 minutes or so last between 30 seconds to 5 minutes. I do in varing dgress during the day have lightheadness, anxiety attacks, spots lines in eyes, bad muscles cramps and a feeling of jelly legs.
Does anyone else get the stomach sensations with slinet migraines?? Please any help would be sooo appreciated Im pretty scared right now Julie
