I suffer a lot of headaches and have had operations on my eyes for Glaucoma, I do get a constant ache deep behind my eyes. BUT, I am a little concerned at the horrible experience I had early the other morning, about 5 am I got up to close the window and it suddenly felt like my brain became detached from my head, so much so I felt myself shout out, I then started to burn up and go clammy and I thought I was going to die. I thought 'is this a stroke'
This strangeness in my head is lingering still, I can't bend to pick anything up or turn quickly. Last night I could not go to bed because of the fear I was truly going to die. Has anyone else had this and did it clear up? Its not helping being on here at the moment so I am going to lie down. Hope someone can offer advice.
Jeannie, please go to a doctor (or eve your A&E dept. if you feel it neccessary).
Such symptoms shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, and the sooner you get them checked out the better.
In the meantime, I'm sending a parcel of reiki to ease your worry, in the hope that you'll be able to rest.

Would echo others' suggestions to seek some medical advice - if they do not find anything physically wrong, it is possible that what you have experienced was a form of a panic attack (during which all kinds of strange physical sensations are possible), but best to check it out properly of course.

thankyou i feel extremely poorly, after the first horrendous experience in my head last wednesday, it did not get any better, i went to doctors monday morning and felt he was a total idiot, he dismissed the terrible head problem i described talked about anxiety and said my blood pressure was sky high and heart rate not right and mumbled something about beta blockers, they could not do an ecg because it was at another surgery and snowed in. He said i would have to go straight to hospital and called an ambulance. At first I thought ah well i will feel better knowing it is a blood pressure thing rahter than something going on in my head so at first I felt a little easier, but once at hospital these things showed up as normal. They messed about all day repeating taking bloods and at least 8 people asked me the same questions. A scan is being arranged on my head and I came home late last night, only to continue having the most terrible time, i cannot lie down without this thing happening in my head, if eel sick, burning up and honestly just like i am going to die and I am pretty scared to say the least. The experience in the hospital watching the way staff treat people (or didnt) treat them was awful and at one point i just cried when I asked an old lady if she would like a drink of water and she said she had not had one all day, after asking 3 nurses it took over an hour to bring her the drink. I am logging off now i really feel so ill. thankyou again for messages. Jeannie
Keeping you in my thoughts Jeannie and hoping for a speedy recovery.
Love and Light

Take care, Jeannie - only advice I can give is to get up & move about slowly when you need to - seems obvious but my husband has been suffering badly from dizzy spells & it's amazing how often he moves too quickly & makes things worse.
Keep us posted on your progress. I am thinking of you.

Hi Jeannie
Don't panic!
Your Dr did absolutely the right thing calling an ambulance. Medical emergency it could certainly be, for example mild haemorrhagic stroke, but it could also be something fairly innocuous whose appearance brings on a fear of the unknown that in itself compounds the problem.
We do see disturbance of the upper neck that can mimick many other problems, the nerve origins involved influence the digestion (nausea, migraines), blood supply to the brain (feeling faint etc), disruption of the regulatory centres of the heart etc etc
So this could be a minor neck problem, or even an [url]ear problem[/url]. There are many more possibilities. These problems can and do come on suddenly sometimes.
So quite right - this is one case to get everything checked, spare no expense.
And while you are waiting for the scan: total bed rest is essential - you do not want to raise your blood pressure in any way. You have already noticed that lying flat is not best, so propped-up is very sensible, but make sure you're supported so you don't fall over if you nod off. Have a relative with you, or at least check in very frequently, and do not hesitate to call for medical help if there is any deterioration.
And once you have the test results there are many other things to discuss. Don't be alarmed if they find nothing, that's usually a good result in medicine, not bad - that doesn't mean there's nothing to be done to help - not by any means.
And think carefully before accepting long courses of medication on the basis of one fright. Blood pressure and heart rhythms go all over the place when we're scared, how it is the rest of the time tells more of the story.
Rest well and mend strong!:)
Hi Jeannie
Thinking of you and hope you feel better soon. Excellent advice from kvdp. And don't try to do too much - rest is vital. Make sure you have nutritious meals - just hope you aren't snowed in up in Durham!
Love, Light and Healing
