Strange events in my nerve system

Post Reply New Topic

I'm feeling physically strange and suspecting something really wrong. All the stuff started at about sunday.
The symptoms:
- constant pressure in my head, slight headache (was never before)
- extensive mind focusing problems
- troubles with falling asleep
- more sudation than usual
- unusually extreme nervousness (especially towards people, I can't stand out human speech and phone ringing right now.) [notice: people always irritated me in some ways, but this time it is amplified to at least double as usual]
- waving smell sensitivity (I have usually a low sensitivity on this, but now I notice odours that I didn't noticed before)
- minor sight jams (similar to mild CCD sensor noise)

I didn't behaived alike before, it feels like a constant hangover (however I didn't drink any alcohol in the last 2 weeks).
I can't do my job, and anything serious at all.

Any ideas of what is this rooted on?

If your feeling worried about it, I would go and see a doc. Most likely something totally innocent but your best to be safe than sorry.

Have you had any stress lately, or things changing or something of the like?

Hmm you provided a long list of things and I see English is your second language so coming to a proper diagnosis here maybe tricky.

1) First have you had a blow to your head? Like from sports , fall or car wreck?

2) A tick bite? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#Symptoms)

My life is nothing but stress. I'm uptight by nature, and I have to mentally tiresome job. Also I'm isolated and usually meeting with my parents (and their ret*d customers) only, and they're rather pissing me off.


Unlikely. I bashed my head slightly a month ago, but that wasn't that serious.


Nah, I'd notice it.

Those signs can be many many things. It's similar to what my aunt had before an aneurysm, so just based on that I'd see a doctor right away. If it's sudden and it goes on like that, you should see a doctor. The last thing I would let them think is that it's stress. You'll get zero help at that point. (That's been my experience anyway.) Rule out the physical first. If it is stress, it should still be there at the end, but generally that's more like tightness in chest or throat and breathing prolbems along with agitation.

I don't know about Lyme disease symptoms, but that's definitely something else you want ruled out right away.

I would say rule out the biggies and just understand it's probably not those but you're always better safe than sorry, so get checked out.

Good luck!

I got a line of the subject, but the chance of that is rather minimal.


Being in a waiting hall between strangers... No way! Most likely I wouldn't take the risk to enter THAT building.

Temporary solution: I leave it as-is. If I'm lucky I'll get over it, if not then there'll be a nice corpse waiting for cremation.

Are you having any tremors in your hands, legs, arms, shoulders, or feet?

I've heard it can sometimes take a few weeks to feel the effects of a head injury.

The reason I brought it up first is because I read that sudden headaches in young adults
can be related to head injury.

Other ideas:

1) Migranies
2) Blood vessels inflammation in the head

Well, I'm going to sit out what'll happen. It's maybe just a brand new signal of my body pointing out the state of exhaustedness.
The most whacky thing about this I haven't got the full control of my brain, so I do and say things without being aware.
The fright should be begin after the weekend (usually I can have more rest then, and most likely I'll have opportunity to breathe some fresh countryside air and take some photos). If the problem will still exist then, I'll have to take some serious actions.

Could also have been a small stroke, especially since your symptoms all started around the same time - transient ischemic attacks can cause sudden neurological symptoms like this, and often the person is completely unaware that they've even had a stroke at all.

TIA's can happen to people of any age.

Yes, I like black humour too (tumour-humour). But if it turns to be really a tumour, then it's all one for me. In that case i'd acquire the highest possible loan, and buy a supercomputer,and large cargo of czech beer, becherovka, cuban cigars and jamaican weed, so I'd live my last days in joy instead of being in a voluntary prison called "hospital". And who'd pay the money back? Well, it wouldn't be my problem.


Yet another neato stuff. Are you guys trying to scare me?

I have no idea about the quality of health care in your country but the specialist you should see is called a neurologists. He might want to have a magnetic resonance image of your head (I hope MRI is available).

I think you could even hardly imagine it. Not a third world jungle style, but still close to rock bottom. And even our sanitary minister proven it indirectly (he gets his heart disease cured in Wien). So why should I trust 'em?

Anyway, for today I don't feel much better. My mother said it's a not very serious brain blood vessel narrowing. (I'm not sure it's the correct phrase for this, since my "medical english" is rather poor.)

OK, I'm feeling a lot better by now. I assume there won't be anything serious, I just had to relax a little.
