After having an MRI, MRA, Lumbar Puncture, Ultrasound, X-Ray, EEG, EKG, and lots of blood work...all tests were normal. In addition to the numbness, and to make matters worse, she began having body tremors followed by the inability to move or speak, blackouts, and shortness of breath. She always regains movement and the ability to speak within an hour. Initially, doctors insisted that the depo shot had nothing to do with her symptoms, and all symptoms eventually went away completely.
This started yesterday, severe pain shooting down my neck and spine and filtering into my arms down to my hands. The pain would ease off and on in my hands but then they would be tingly like they were asleep. This morning it is the same way. I could barely lift my arms today to do my hair or even brush my teeth. It was exhausting. So my question is, is this something that some of you may have experienced? My husband wanted to rush me to the hospital last night but I wouldn't go.....
I am a 39 yr old female. I have had several spisodes of fainting with numbness and tingling of all extremities. One of the episodes I had tempory paralysis of all 4 extremities as well as purple color and they curled up. I was told I hyperventelated. I have been having the numbness in my arms and legs nearly constant now and I now get chest pains. I do not know what to do or where to go. I have had many differing exams from CT's to MRI's to EKG's. All state normal.
i am a mother of one son, i am 30 yrs old. i ahve been suffering of severe depression and have been on medications since august 2008, but lately i have been experiencing a weird feeling in my head can't unexplainable. it's like numbness or like loosing conscious for a split of a second and it reoccurs every 5 minutes.
The numbness slowly crawled up both my arms, as that was happening i could feel myself getting light headed and nauseous again. My mom looked at me and said i was turning ghost white and before i could respond my vision went and and the next thing i know I'm waking up on the floor. Everyone was freaked out, they said i was out for about 4 seconds. Once i came to after those four seconds, I could not stand on my own two feet, i couldnt even open my eyes this time.
Last night while driving home from work I had a severe hot flash that caused me to almost faint. My fingers and toes began to tingle, followed by numbness in my hands and feet and then numbness in my arms and legs. I had shortness of breath. Could all of this be brought on by a hot flash? If so, can hot flashes be brought on by stress? This is the third time it has happened and it's scary - especially while driving.
t move them at all for at least five minutes. Gradually, the numbness went away and I could move my fingers.
I've had MRIs, heart tests, blood tests, nerve tests...nearly everything comes back negative. I had a positive ANA test (but all the autoimmune disease tests they've done have come back negative). I was diagnosed with Lyme disease about a year ago and was treated for it. Some doctors think I still have it, some disagree. I do have Raynaud's syndrome.
s disease), low blood sugar levels, and in some cases, diabetes, may lead to hypotension and hence lightheadedness and an off balance feeling.
Certain types of epilepsies and seizures too can cause similar symptoms. If you have an accompanying headache then you must also look at benign intracranial hypertension. Heart problems too should be ruled out in your case. If all other tests are normal, maybe an ECHO should be done to rule out mitral valve prolapse.

Discuss these symptoms with your father's doctor.
She had been to the doc prior to fainting and her iron level results came back as 11. Normal is 14 and the doc revealed that 11 was ok in women. They put her on iron supplements regardless.
Then I can remember psychological changes in her. She is currently feels the following:
-Brain zaps which can awaken her during sleep.
-Brain fog: Wakes up out of nowhere feeling confused.
I started suffering from PVCs, left arm numbness, chest pain, and dizziness over two years ago. I was sent to a cardiologist that did an echo, xray, holter monitor, event monitor, blood work and a stress test. All this came back normal except for the PVCs and PACs which they said were normal. I've also had my thyroid test and estrogen. I continue to have all these symptoms just about daily.
This tingling turns into a partial numbness and then I get these burning sensations almost like I have a sunburn that works its way up to my face. Then my vision is effected, things don't swirl but sort of rock slightly. Then I get an electric jolt, the blood feels like it is draining from my head and I sit down immediately and knod off.
I didn't start suspecting my meds until I realized one of the times I was in the hospital I had forgot my meds.
I have been having the same problem with no relief, I went to the chiropractor and they told me my C1 and neck was a total mess. Was she having pulling pain in her chest and numbness in her hands and arms sometimes too? I am just hoping to get better, I am 30 and has gotten worse after having 2 children. I was in a car accident 6 years ago and I think it is steming from that.
The reason they say you cant lay on your back after 21 weeks is because the placenta is so heavy at that point that it pinches a nerve in your spine, as well as cut off a small amount of blood flow, which alot of women find means tingling in the legs, or numbness, and can cause fainting and/or dizziness.
