Hi. These could be transient ischemic attacks where blood flow to one part of the brain is diminished or curtailed temporarily, but not long enough to cause permanent damage or even show up on the routine brain scans. These problems are caused by vascular problems that causes the lumen of these blood vessels to narrow down. Smoking is notorious for this. TIA's can be triggered by strong emotions, stress, or sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure.
Thank you for your responce, I was actually in the Phillipines when the second occurance happened. I wish I would have known you then, if I quite smoking right now is there anything else I can do to "heal" the damage I have done and to prevent any more occurances? Or are my days just numbered? I have been feeling light headed for the last 3 weeks now about 4-6 times a day accompanied by a annoying headache. the spells last about 3-10 a piece; any advice?

I have had the tingling in my left hand with some arm pain and recently in my left foot, particularly my toes. I also get a strange burning sensation at the top of my head. I have had various tests done and was told that I have high blood pressure and was put on beta blockers.
This was 10 months ago and yet I keep getting new symptoms. MyGyno attributed it to lowered estrogen levels, even though i am 36 and gave me a natural supplement called Agnucaston,
I am convinced that I am not having anxiety attacks because the symptoms appear when i am the happiest and most comfortable.
I am sick am tired of complaining and being viewed as a crazy person. So now I just suffer in silence.
