What Causes This?

Every once in a while I go through this and have no idea what is going on. It starts usually with stomach pain and an urge to go to the bathroom. Then I get really warm/almost sweaty and sometimes cold at the same time, my body starts to shake, my head feels funny/heavy and I feel like I may loose consciousness (but I never do). Soon I can't hold myself up very well my body gets very weak and I get partially hearing loss (like they are suddenly very plugged) and full vision loss. It only lasts for a few minutes up to maybe a half hour, at most, then I'm fine. I had this again last night and it was accompanied with tingling in my hands/arms and legs. Today I woke up with a headache and my ears still feel a bit plugged. If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know. Thank you.

Hello OCgirl12 and thanks for posting.

I would really encourage you to see your doctor about these symptoms. It sounds like it may be getting worse since you mention tingling and headaches from the latest episode.

Please get checked out and let us know how you're doing,

I'm no expert, but that definitely sounds severe. That could be a sign of a stroke or something similar. Definitely see a doctor as soon as possible, these are not normal symptoms for anybody.
