severe heart palpitations and i get so weak that like all of a sudden i lose almost complete control over my leg s or arm it feels like a falling type of feeling or how you feel when someone startals you, and then im like jello it is all i can do to make it somewhere to sit down sometimes i get it when i lay down to, feels like im gonna pass  out to sometimes, and also i get numb in the face eyebrow legs or wherever - i have been undiagnosed for three years i have the worst doctors in the world - i have spent three years being called a nut and when i finally snuck to the er one night when i had the numbness and told the doc i thought i had mxeyedema coma cause i was hypothyroid and off my meds he did a full panel and my t4 was .063! of course i lied to him but after three years and about 150 doctors visits and getting called and diagnosed as crazy i was desperate not to die! my point with the story is that i am very severely hypo and have been untreated for a long time (just started meds! thanks to myself) so i do not know if someone else would have symptoms as bad as mine or not, if anyone does please share!

what does the weakness feel like to you? can you describe it please

[momofvera]

Yes! So here is the thing. I had these symptoms of heart palpitations and weakness for years. Here's the catch. When you feel one coming on your heart jumps and you go into a panic attack. I have been in the ER a few times for this and the docs say PANIC. Made me really mad and felt I wasn't being listened to. BUT they are kinda right. Since I told myself that SOME of the symptoms are generated by fear I have had a huge relief from these symptoms. I have Hashi's and am hypo so it is not all in my head. It is just that stress and fear of dying can mimick symptoms you remember having and make you go into hypertention. But keep looking to fix your health because none of that means it is ALL in your head. Don't tell my docs I told you so though.
