I feel bad that you are such a young person and dealing with these things...could you be taking your meds incorrectly?  it almost sounds like drug reaction in some ways.  When I would take certain meds like pertussis or tussionex I would get completely spaced out and feeling like bugs were crawling on me and buzzing sensation in my head.  It was horrible.  If you have a doctor who is shrugging off your symptoms then tell him or her that you will find another doctor who WILL take you seriously.  Just because you are a kid does not mean you should not be taken seriously.  Do you have someone in your life to whom you can talk to?  Even a pastor or a medical help line at this point.  If that fails, get yourself to the ER the next time you get these feelings.  You need to get some attention.

Hi,

Deep breathing or hyperventilation can be associated with the symptoms you mention.

'Hyperventilation can, but does not necessarily always cause symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the hands, feet and lips, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, chest pain, slurred speech and sometimes fainting, particularly when accompanied by the Valsalva maneuver. '

You could read more about this at the following link -
