Hi
I need to ask u a question
Yesterday a very weird thing happened to me
I was conversing with friends and we were joking and all then i suddenly felt dizzy. I remained dizzy for almost 10min then i vomited. I lied down for almost 20min then when got up i vomited again and started feeling heavy. I was carried to the car as i wasnt able to walk. Then in the car i lost all control over my body and felt paralyzed like i was paraplegic. I cldnt even lift my finger or speak. All i cld do is move my neck as to answer yes or no questions. I was aware of evthg around me but I cldnt respond or interact. Note that I wasn't feeling any pain, my heartbeat was normal. I had no palpitations, no cold sweat, my vision was normal. I was acting like a receiver being able to grasp everything around me but not being able to respond.
I remained as such for 5 hours
Blood tests were done and everything was normal
Symptoms resolved spontaneously with no medical intervention after 5 hours but when my paralysis ended i restarted feeling dizzy and heavy headed.
I haven't consumed any medications or any substance. I do not smoke nor drink
Please help if you have an explanation




This discussion is related to undiagnosed symptons?.

Please have yourself screened for Dysautonomia (also called Automomic Dysfunction). Do rule out other neurological disorders, but the symptoms you describe also align with Dysautonomia. Unfortunately, many physicians are only beginning to recognize dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system as a result of or an addition to other Neurologic issues as well as a stand-alone diagnosis/disorder, sometimes occurring after an accident, injury, illness (particularly viral) or linked to a previously unknown genetic disorder.

I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia/POTS just a few years ago. It helps incredibly to know it was NOT in my head. Anxiety and hyperadrenergic symptoms can be rooted in Dysautonomia, but it isn't a psychological anxiety.... It's pure fight-or-flight adrenaline from hormones that aren't properly regulated by a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system.

Get checked, please, preferably by a doctor who knows about the disorder.

I would suggest you push for a head MRI/CT just be be safe. The fact that you vomited and was paralyzed could be something like pressure on the brain.

I myself have had every symptom neurological wise such as vision and hearing loss and headaches. It then developed into joint pain and many other things.

Mine turned out to be mycoplasma pneumonia with no chest infection and lyme disease.

Good luck
