I'm going to try and make this short. I am a healthy 29 yr old girl. I do not drink....or smoke...or do drugs. I took a hard fall at work last September...Nothing was broken so I went on with life. Forgot about it. In hindsight..I realize about two weeks after I started experiencing episodes of nearly blacking out for no reason.no trigger. I have never fainted in my life. Making a long story short I have experienced tinnitus....lights in peripheral vision..extreme dizziness...pain and numbness in all four limbs and face..but mainly my left arm...racing heart of 140 bpm...that woke me from a sleep....confusion...and stuttering sometimes...I also have a wet warm sensation at random..mainly my left foot..Like something keeps dumping warm water on it.  I have seen the chiropractor..an eye specialist..an ER Doc ...neurologist..and lastly the cardiologist. I have an an xray of neck..MRI of brain and neck..MS was ruled out.  I have had an EEG. Normal. I brief EKG. Normal.  Xray of lungs. Normal. The only thing significant thing found is that I have severe orthostatic hypotension..was found during a tilt table test..my bp dropped 25 points in a few seconds...and I started to black out. The neurologist said most of these symptoms can be due to my blood pressure dropping. But here's my latest concern. I'm having extreme difficulty breathing. It's been consistantly present for a month now. I'm not hyperventilating..or gasping..but I feel like my lungs are not expanding to get air...but are hardening. It's getting quite painful. The only relief I get is if I lie flat..it lets up in a few minutes but it's back when I get up. The neurologist said that doesn't fit blood pressure problems. The cardiologist acts like I'm making it up because my lungs sound clear.I'm getting frustrated. Even as I write this the Palm of my left hand is slightly numb. Could I have damaged something in the fall? Is it coincidence? I'm scheduled for testing on my heart on Friday but I don't want to go. I think my heart is fine and I can't get it out of my head that it's some sort of nerve damage. I do have health insurance but all these tests are still expensive. Especially since ppl think I'm having an anxiety attack. Can anxiety do that? I don't feel anxious. I don't feel stressed. The only anxiety I feel is knowing I have doctor bills on the way and I silk don't have an answer. I don't know if I should give it time to see if it resolves or maybe go to a better hospital. Feedback would be welcome..with ANY help at all...thx!

I looked into that link...looks like it could be a fit!!! I wonder why my neurologist didn't go into any of that???? I'm baffled. I don't know whether it's best to go to a different doc or just give it time to heal???? Thx fire passing that link!

An injury can trigger dysautonomia (disease or malfunction of the autonomic nervous system).  Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Neurally Mediated Hypotention (NMH) are the two most common types of dysautonomia.

Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction):
