You really should speak to your healthcare provider rather than seeking medical advice online.

Good Luck!

I had a really bad headache starting Saturday morning and finally went away on Sunday morning. But I also started getting these sharp pains in my back and chest whenever I walk, doesn’t hurt when I sit or stand. And I still have a slight headache. Please advise.

I would suggest seeing your doctor, Carol. Dizzyness can be a sign of something of little consequence or something quite serious.

There’s no reason to be shy about seeking a professional evaluation.

Good luck,

What could cause dizziness when laying down? When I layed down 3 nights ago I got very dizzy spinning room but stopped within a few minutes, now it is during the day when I seem to move my head to the left. # nights I go thru this dizziness and everytime I get up and down from the bed as well. I now feel in walking or sitting. Do I need to be seen by a Dr? is there a problem? I dont feel sick, my ears dont hurt.
Thanks Carol

Lan, while we are unable to give direct medical advice for legal reasons, we would recommend - if you feel your doctor either has not diagnosed you properly or is not treating your condition appropriately - seeking out a second opinion from a doctor who is not part of your current doctor’s practice.

First, though, have you discussed your issues with Lorazepam with your Doctor? In many cases it may require extensive adjustment to find the exact right drug or combination of drugs at the proper dosage.

Three weeks ago, I had sudden pain on my left leg, chest, shoulder, arm and head that felt like a stroke or heart attack. It was also accompanied by a feverish feeling even though my temperature was normal (36-37). I felt overall nervousness and palpitation of the heart. I went to my Doctor who after running ECG, UltraSound, chest x-ray, cardiac stress test and blood work said everything looked pretty fine (passed with flying colors). Hence he put me on lorazepam (an anxiety drug) that I am still on. Most of the pain are calmed but I still experience weakness, my eyes often twikles (both sides). One time I felt this sharp pain on my head that later transferred to the rest of my body accompanied by this warmth feverish feeling inside. The situation is uncomfortable and affects my ability to carry out my functions or even my happiness. I always have sudden mood changes up till now even though my Doctor only increased the Lorazepam for another 20 days. Should it be something else, please advice.

I tend to think that I’d know if something was seriously wrong with me. Obviously, I’ll pay attention to most of these symptoms without reading this post, but if I went to the emergency room every time I had tingling, I’d be there all the time.

Also, hypochondriacs beware, many of the symptoms described above, excluding lumps, headaches, and icky poop, are also symptoms of anxiety.

When I had a stroke at age 37 my main symptoms were weakness, along with extreme dizziness and nausea, which aren’t mentioned in the list for #2.

I can attest to #5. My husband once had a severe headache that had lasted for two days and did not respond to painkillers. When he went to the emergency room, they did a CAT scan and found a large blood clot in his brain.

I once had a lingering cough and a stiff muscle pain in my calf (it felt sore, but I hadn’t been running or anything).

The two didn’t seem related, but it turned out that I had a blood clot stuck in my leg, that traveled into my lung, causing a pulmonary embolism. I have been told to watch for these types of muscle pains in my legs especially, because they could be clot-related. This can lead to stroke, heart attack, or embolism.
