Can Valium Cause Vertigo, Excessive Sweating, Blurred Vision And Breathlessness?
Brief Answer:
It could be panic attack
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description there is possibility of severe anxiety attack or panic attack. If you have taken 1 gram of valium it could be just withdrawal effect of valium.
However I like to point out that 1 gram of valium is too high and toxic dose. It is possible that it was a typo.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
Visiting ER is recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
Although heart attack is rare possibility for 31 year woman but I do not think risk taking is advised. It is not possible on my part to state whether it is heart attack or simple anxiety so it will be better to visit ER for reassurance.
I hope this helps you.

I dont have chest pain in the middle of my chest its just off and on above my left chest bone which is a muscle. I have valium but scared to take it now incase thats causing me symptoms. Its not crushing pain either
Brief Answer:
It seems non cardiac pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
The description of pain seems non cardiac to me provided it is not aggravated by increasing activity. In addition the instable nature (on-off) of pain indicates toward anxiety symptoms rather than the cardiac pain.
I hope this reassures you.
Thanks again.

Brief Answer:
It seems muscular
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
Presence of pain on lying down to certain position indicates soreness of muscles rather than anything else. It is possible that you had some pain in past but it resurfaced prominently due to increase in anxiety since yesterday.
If you have the access for xanax or valium I think you can use either 0.25 mg of xanax or valium 1 mg for inducing sleep. This will ensure better anxiety control so you can know what proportion is contributed by anxiety and what proportion comes from muscular things.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks again.
