Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing

Hello, I ve been having this odd feeling in my head since I was in fourth grade. I m a freshman in college now to put it into perspective. It starts with a strange rush to the head. I then become extremely disoriented. And the rush begins I always feel like whatever is going on has happened before, though I know that it never has. I often get the feeling that certain happenings will make whatever this is worse. I will, as often as I can, curl up into a ball, plug my ears with my fingers, and shut my eyes, for everything hurts. I also have a hard time breathing. There s a pain in my head, but it not pain like one might uually define; I myself can t place it since I forgt everything that happens as soon as these spells are over unless I get the unlikely chance to write it all down. Any ideas on what this might be? It s terrifying, and often when it happens it ll happen many times a day. I ve seen countless doctors about this with no diagnosis..

Has anyone pursued the possibility that this is some odd kind of seizure? Some seizure disorders are hard to diagnose. Depending on what part of the brain is affected, a seizure may not be the classic jerking of limbs. Temporal lobe epilepsy is one such type of seizure that creates odd sensations like those you describe. If no one has considered this, check with a neurologist and specifically address this possibility. Hope this helps.
