Hii Doctor I Had A Miscarriage From A Pregnancy And
Question: Hii doctor
i had a miscarriage from a pregnancy and it was a very peculiar case that happened to me that day . i found out i was pregnant in the morning i might have been two weeks then i had been through a earlier miscarriage also an this was my second pregnancy after i waited for 3 years naturally .
i was stressed and anxious after my tests were confirmed and in just two hours i had a electric shock from the center of my head that travelled to my uterus and gave a electric shock there . i immediately understood something went wrong with my pregnancy .i was not majorly stressed i was a bit fearful at that time when it happened . im not sure if just some stress can cause miscarriage its my first experience ever with something like this happening to me physically .
After it happened i was going to er doctors to know if my pregnancy was viable or non viable . it did cause a miscarriage later in a month i had a tablet also a outpatient procedure for the same .
i used to have bp that was always up and down . i just thought maximum i would have been two weeks when i could have been pregnant from the day i had intercourse.
one more incident was i was physically abused that week by my husband even the day before i found out he hit me 20 times in the cheeks in my face and mishandled for issues at home i was a bit down and i cried but nothing major doctor . could this also be a reason of causing miscarriage . causing some changes in my body which i did not know . i was used to his abuse so i did not mind about this incident doctor .
since my own body made it happen i have been fearful doctor from that incident .And my therapist calls it trauma . i was never able to be alone after this incident doctor . i became fearful more .i thought it was prenatal depression due to harmones .i made my own assumptions but i wanted to find out answers on my health .
i want to know for sure if im allright . I need to take any brain scans because i still feel something paining in my back of head and always feeling anxiety when im fearful at times in the daytime or around friends .
The central part in my forehead is mostly activated and from that place also only the shock travelled to my uterus . its still active now even when i type and i wake up . the central part of my forehead is still active .the fear is still there .im scared of this and i try to reassure me all is ok . But i feel i need a brain scan .
its been 3 months and i have no answers . My doctors here call it just as a miscarriage and not helping me find out why it happened to me .
i have been fearful for sometimenow in 2 years over major things or changes in my life . i have totally stopped thinking about pregnancy because i remember the trauma and feeling that i could not control what happened in my body .i dont want to risk another baby life .
do i need psychiatric help ? or neurologist help ?
i felt a stinging pain in my uterus till date and it still pains in my head and uterus and some spotting always with blood in my underwear . it was a electric shock that travelled . will there be anything wrong with my nerves there ? i have all these questions doctor . im looking for answers.
The fear and anxiety has been learned by my body after this incident and i have not recovered yet . which specialist should i go to doctor ? im looking for solutions on what course of action should i take doctor ?
Thank you Doctor

Brief Answer:
Electric Shocks UNlikely to be responsible for miscarriages
Detailed Answer:
Good morning.
I am indeed saddened of the type of abuse you are tolerating in your home and I wish there were easy answers to solve that type of problem. I would say that in the interest for your well being and peace of mind you should consider looking for help in your area for abused or battered women. There are shelters you can go to seeking assistance and they will take care of you temporarily until either things at home can be resolved or you find an alternative dwelling (perhaps with parents, relatives, siblings, friends?). And so I think that is MOST IMPORTANT to you at this moment in time.
As far as the electric shocks you describe as a neurologist I can think of only 1 or 2 things that could qualify as being possible with that sort of description of where the pain started in your head to traveling deep into either your abdomen or pelvis. The fact is the body does not have a way of detecting exactly WHICH INTERNAL ORGAN may be feeling that shock sensation. The best our brains can do is tell us APPROXIMATELY which area or region of the body is feeling something odd but when it comes to INTERNAL ORGANS...it could be any number of things causing the shocklike sensation down deep. Make sense?
At any rate, there is something referred to in headache medicine as TRIGEMINAL AUTONOMIC CEPHALGIC headaches and these are described as SUDDEN, brief, lancinating pains, usually localized to the head, usually NOT traveling to other parts of the body, and they can come about as a result of trauma to the head or trauma to nerves that may be in the skin.
Therefore, it is possible that these electric shocklike sensations could be emanating as a result of the blows I believe you've taken to the head. I understand you are saying at this time that he only "slapped" you in the face, however, depending on how hard those slaps were...they could jar the head and neck enough (especially since they were repeated, 20x) to the point where something like a TAC could be precipitated. But again, TAC's don't tend to travel anywhere beyond the head or neck. It is not common at all from them to send electric sensations all the way into the abdomen or pelvis where the uterus is located.
A scan of your head does not seem necessary from the description of your symptoms but again, I am concerned about what sound to be multiple blows to the head on an ongoing basis. This is clearly not a healthy situation and if you were to become pregnant in the future and this type of behavior continued (and it usually does) the risk to the baby is very high. However, a scan of your head is not going to reveal anything in particular that would explain the zinging sensations you're describing so I wouldn't spend time worrying about that aspect of things.
On the issue of psychiatrist vs. neurologist....I believe you potentially suffer much more significantly from things such as anxiety, fear, depression, possibly PTSD, and all the other myriad of emotions that go together with being a survivor of an abusive environment. I'm glad you are with a therapist and getting help through talk sessions, however, the idea of seeing a psychiatrist or maybe even a PSYCHOLOGIST well trained and experienced in dealing with marital abuse patients or just abused patients in general I think is a very good move. I would hesitate on the PSYCHIATRIST side of the equation unless you are OK with taking medication at this point (which certainly could be helpful and even necessary depending upon the magnitude and type of problem you're managing) but if you do have any thoughts of getting pregnant, keep in mind that most of the medications prescribed for mood disorders and other psychiatric disorders cannot be safely taken during pregnancy.
If you have no intention on getting pregnant and feel that speaking to a psychiatrist will be helpful to you before going to psychologist or abuse specialist/marriage counselor) then, you should take the step to see someone.
In conclusion, the electric shocklike sensations from your forehead that travel into the deeper areas of your body are not likely the cause of any miscarriages (directly) nor do they represent any permanent damage to either nerves in the head or the brain itself. Therefore, no imaging study is necessary at this time unless there are other NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS you haven't mentioned or things dramatically change or you've suffered concussions recently, etc. You could be suffering from either TAC's which are a form of headache/facial pain or the sensations could a direct result of fear, anxiety, and stress (very likely). I believe you need psychological/psychiatric services ahead of neurological services at this point and I don't believe you need a brainscan.
I hope very much you find a way to help yourself and prevent further abusive handling to your body and wish you the very best in the future. Remember that on this platform you can specifically seek out or request the services of a PSYCHIATRIST. I don't know if you can seek out a PSYCHOLOGIST or not (remember, the psychiatrist is capable of prescribing medication while the psychologist cannot).
If I've provided useful and helpful information to you could you do me a favor by CLOSING THE QUERY and taking a moment to provide a few kind words of feedback, perhaps even stamping the consult with a 5 STAR rating if you feel so inclined?

Remember that on this platform you can specifically seek out or request the services of a PSYCHIATRIST. I don't know if you can seek out a PSYCHOLOGIST or not (remember, the psychiatrist is capable of prescribing medication while the psychologist cannot).
If I've provided useful and helpful information to you could you do me a favor by CLOSING THE QUERY and taking a moment to provide a few kind words of feedback, perhaps even stamping the consult with a 5 STAR rating if you feel so inclined?
Do not forget to contact me in the future at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi for additional questions, comments, or concerns having to do with this topic or others.

Brief Answer:
Thank you for your kind sentiments and ALL THE BEST for now
Detailed Answer:
I sincerely am glad to hear to you felt my opinions helped and would like to just underscore how I do not believe there is anything NEUROLOGICALLY amiss in your case, however, you are definitely under a lot of stress and the anxiety and other emotions you must be feeling are becoming overwhelming. When that happens physical processes start to break down and things such as headaches, shooting pains, lapses in memory, concentration and attention commonly occur. You are not alone and there are many resources for women such as yourself to get help. You are already familiar with the groups talk therapy and that's definitely a start.
Remember, those pains in the forehead that shoot could certainly be part and parcel some of headache disorder that MAY BE addressable by a neurologist in the future if they were change in certain ways and include other symptoms. But for now, I think you are fine to continue on the path to either see a very good PSYCHOLOGIST or PSYCHIATRIST who specializes in patients suffers from physical and emotional abuse. I don't know how willing your husband would be to attend such sessions as well but obviously this is not something that can be resolved just on your side. It takes 2 people to carry on a healthy relationship. And should not feel as if you are the cause or reason for why these episodes of anger from him are somehow as a result of something wrong that you've done. Many women feel this way and it's simply not the case.
Once again, ALL THE BEST FOR NOW....I leave it to your discretion to contact me in the future if you would feel the need.
Could you consider CLOSING THE QUERY if there are no further questions and put a few kind words of feedback, perhaps even a 5 STAR rating before signing off the conversation thread?
