Possible diagnosis?
I found this group because this diagnosis sounds the most similar to what I’m experiencing but I haven’t seen a doctor yet. I‘m a 28 year old female of good health, no medical conditions I know of other than OCD and ADHD. I have an appointment in early June to discuss these symptoms. Last summer I had my first “episode” of something weird happening. I was on a plane, about to land, and my arms and legs suddenly started cramping up, I was nauseous, lightheaded, and my speech felt slurred. My lips also felt cramped up and slow moving. There was absolutely no big event that caused this other than slight anxiety about the plane landing and excitement to see family when I got off. Similar scenarios have happened probably 5 times since then, sometimes for no reason at all, sometimes due to anxiety or just a change in stimuli. I’ve found that eating something right away does help but that’s about all I’ve tried. While reading through this group, I remembered that when I was in my teens, I would sometimes get so overheated in the shower that I was on the verge of passing out and I would get horrible pain in my lower back and would have to lay on the cold tile floor. This happened pretty often. Does this sound like vasovagal syncope??
