Weak and Shakey?

Hi- I am 33yrs old and for about 7 monthes now I have been having these "spells" where all the sudden I will get really weak
and Shakey feeling, my face gets really warm and I feel like I can't think straight. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to faint but I never have. The Drs. can't tell me whats wrong I had a full line of blood work done, heart tests like an echocardiogram,
Event Monitor. Blood work was normal, Echo showed possible bicuspid aortic valve but cardiologist said it would not cause these symptoms. Event Monitor was normal. Does anyone else experience anything like this?? I was told it might be a panic attack, but I've had those in the past and they were different than this. I thought possibly it could be my blood sugar dropping, but dr. says no cuz bloodwork was normal. Sometimes I feel better though if I eat something when its happening.  WHat could this be?????

Please do not say things like that. Depression and anxiety mimics a lot of other sicknesses and diseases. If you tell someone they have parkinsons disease or any other possibility like that, they will freak out and it will cause them more anxiety and depression. They are all ready in a fragile state and can experience being a hypochrondiac. Everyone please see a doctor to really determine what is wrong with you.

I have similar symptoms too. Shaking legs and fingers, pain in leg muscles, and sometimes arm muscles. Worse on left side. Problems standing - feeling like I am going to fall over. No issues with walking or running though. Standing in line is hard sometimes. Episodes of extreme fatigue lasting days. Feeling of foot falling asleep lasting hours or days. Hands and feet going really cold.
Sometimes eating solves the problem and other times going to bathroom fixes it. Problems are mostly in afternoon/evening. I don't know if its blood sugar issue, food allergy, hormonal, vitamin deficiency, related to my sedentary lifestyle (I have a desk job), rare undiagnosed problem or just part of my anxiety disorder. I tested negative for B12 deficiency, MS and celiac. CBC is normal. Also had chest x-ray and full cardiac workup (echocardiogram) which was also normal. I take a generic multi vitamin.

Hello Allison, sorry to trouble you but I have just read your comments on med page, I could have written it as it's exactly how I feel, I know it is an old thread but just wanted to know if you found any answers, thank you.

i would check ur blood twice a day, once in the morning and before eating dinner. keep track. also i would check it when u have an attack. if u show a trend of high or low sugar after tracking for a couple weeks to a month, take ur records to the doctor with u and show them the results. i get that feeling when my sugar gets under 90. good luck, hope u feel better.

I can't say why you get this, but you might search "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity" and see if any of the symptoms fit.   Many doctors still do not recognize this now widespread illness so it is very hard to get a diagnosis much less help in dealing with it.
