Strange feeling(LONG)

Hi there, just wanted to post a reply to your question. I am also new to this forum and I am searching for some answers to some weird sensations that are hard to explain and are linked to severe headaches (migraines) that are daily since Feb.  Just curious when you say you feel zoned, and feel like you are gonna pass out...do you ever feel like a sensory disturbance or a shock-like sensation pass through your body? I know this is weird but just wanting to see if you are feeling maybe what I am feeling.  My symptoms were induced by Wellbutrin (which I took for years no prob) and then a dr...added Effexor 75 mg after I had a surgery because I was complaining of chronic pain-like symptoms.  Go figure. So know I am on Topamax, and my headache is leveling out some what but still comes and goes although not on the intensity level it was, thank goodness.  I also still feel the sensory disturbances and shock-like sensations sometimes and I can only tell you that it is a weird feeling, I can't hardly describe it.  Drs. tell me they have heard of it but don't know what it is and I find that hard to believe since in fine print on med labels you will see that in rare instances some people experience this. So I don't know.  Maybe I will never know. But good luck to you and if I didn't help at least I can say, keep your chin up and keep searching, I am. Ms. T

Hi Brad69 and ncollegestudent, Welcome to both of you to Healing Well. It sounds to me as if what you are experiencing Brad is some form of Aura before the migraine attack, but I am not a medic, have you ever talked to your Doctor about this? If not I think you should. Have you seen a Neurologist that specialises in Headache?

Unfortunately most Neurologists often don't know and understand headache/migraine enough in some cases, and it needs someone who specialises in Headache to sort things out.

Just my two-penneth! Take care Ann

Hi guys.  New here, just joined while i was looking up pain in right eyeball when breating through my nose and came across this.  I get the same feelings you get on occasion, but it happens after I take a puff of a cigarette in the morning.  Its wierd, i smoke kind of regularly, maybe 10 a day, but its only occasionally that i get that feeling like i'm ALMOST going to pass out, can't walk without holding on to something.  Once i layed on the kitchen floor and got right up and puked in the sink.  I would like to think that its cigarette related but it hasn't happened in a few months and i smoke in the morning every day.  I USED to get migraines but not anymore.

Just my 2 cents.  My doctor is pretty useless.
