hey guys i just stumbled across this page searching for some symptoms i have been having one doctor said i had
syncope or dyhydration the next day he said maybe seizures one said vertigo and i have also came across some eye
problems that can cause it anyways…. 8 years ago and 5 years ago i had this happen and nothing ever since then
in august of 11 i had it happen 2 days in a row i leaned back to take a drink and almost fell over i was barely
able to get my self to sit down and my buddy thought i was playing a joke or something he said i looked like the
drunkest guy he had ever seen trying to baby step to sit down after about 5 minutes i was fine but really weak
my vision was messy my body felt like it was fluttering and hearing was screwy the next day i was in line at the
bank leaning over the counter the lady then started to count my money i stood up off the counter and it happened
again i grabbed my moiney staggered out the door and ended up driving around town to get license plate for my
truck then when i walked in to the office i walked down some marble stairs and it happened again about 10 minutes
after the bank i some how walked out back to the car a block away then didnt have anymore episodes since then
till october of 2011 i was working and bent down to look at the computer with my boss and it hit me again i was
like omg i need to sit down he was like whatever lazy ass lol and a few minutes later he helped me to the break
room while walking my legs were shaky everything was spinning or so it seemed then didnt have it happen again
til just about a week ago i was bowling with my kids and i was getting irritated because they were running all
over the bowling alley and not sitting down like i had asked them to i turned around bent down to get my ball
and it happened again i managed to stumble to the counter to pay for our games signed my receipt and walked out
the door to my truck i couldnt drive so my brother came and got us then this monday i was driving down the
highway to go to work and it happened again while driving i was able to drive but when i got to work i was
sooo weak and tired i couldnt get out of my truck most of the ones i have mentioned so far last about 5
minutes maybe 1 has lasted 10 then this tuesday i go back to work and i had about 15 of them but they
were like 2-5 seconds longeverytime i bent over to pick something up then wednesday i was working had about
5 small second ones and then had one hit me hard i sat down my boss walked me to the break room and i tried
to get up about 5 minutes later to get a drink and everytime i sat forward in the chair i got sooo dizzy like
coming off a spinning carnival ride thursday friday and today i have only had a few a day for a few seconds
my doctor swears up and down they are simple partial seizures but the medicine im on isnt helping now ill tell
you my symptoms its like a jolt comes on out of no where i get sooo dizzy sometimes im like where am i and
others i know exactly whats happening sometimes while its happening if i look around fast it gets worse or
if i make myself blink and move my head the same thing happens but every time it has happened i have bent
down forward or back to take a drinkand also the last week if im driving or riding with someone like yesterday with my buddy we went out of tow about 45 miles and drove back today on the way there his truck kind of floats i guess you could say with his shocks on the way there i kept getting split second ones like 2-10 seconds long and today coming home i had 3 for about 10 seconds then slowing down getting off the highway i had one hit me and lasted about 5 minutes and everytime he took a turn or sped up or slowed down it got worse he finally pulled over for about 5 minutes when it stopped he helped me out to try and walk it off and it was gone we continued to drive through town and i got a few split second ones again but nothing bad … i also out of no where get very anxious around people lately or scared
to be alone and short of breath when it happens or is about to happen or even before it happens …. now i read
about the alchohol part i go out QUITE A BIT with my friends and we drink pitcher after pitcher and sometimes
ill wake up hung over (this was before the seizure medicine)but then i feel anxiety and stress and panicky thats
usually when it happens when i move fast or bend over my doctor told me not to go have a vertigop test done cuz
he thinks it is seizures i usually drink 6 nights out of the week but this last month maybe once or twice and the
last 3 weeks i have only drank 3 times this last week i havent drank at all and all this has started happenming
again worse than any other time before i am scared to drive to walk out side and sometimes even get off the couch
or out of bed to just go to the bathroom…..most of the time happens to be while bending over or while moving the head i have read alot on vertigo and it seems to fit 100% of what i go
through does anyone else have any ideas on this
