Hi, I am a 40 year old female and about 150 lbs. and about 5'8. When I was 13, I had my first "attack" where I was rushed to the hospital, the docs did numerous tests and didn't find anything. I didnt get anymore until my adulthood. Recently, I just had and "attack" last night. I'd say this has happened about 4-5 times in my adulthood. Here's what the attack is like: I start getting a heavy feeling all over my body, I start to space out but I'm well aware of everything going on around me, All my limbs seem too heavy to lift and I slowly sink to the floor. I feel tingly all over. I have no pain, headache, heart racing, or any other symptoms except my eyes start emit tears which I contribute to maybe crying. The attacks can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Today, my body still feels heavy but I'm able to function, it just feels like lead. It also seems like my reaction time and speech are slowed down. Trying to talk during an attack is difficult and my speech is very slurred and drawn out. My husband thinks it's a form of anxiety attack because every time I've had one of these attacks, I've had alot on my schedule and have been under stress, I'm worried that it could be something more physical. My thyroid has tested out fine and I'm a very active person otherwise in good shape. The only medication I take is Amitriptyline (40mg/day) for my bruxism and severe TMJ. I don't think this is the cause since my first attack happened when I was 13 (I did't take the Amitriptyline then). I also take supplements: Glucosamine, 1 aspirin daily, biotin, and a One-a-Day Multi. Please help!!!
