I was wondering if anyone might know what this is?: I had a very strange experience this morning, I was standing and counseling my client through an anxiety attack when suddenly I had the oddest sensation. It felt like a painless empty-feeling pressure on the left side of my head inside my skull. My best analogy for it is that it was like someone has started at the center of my head and inflated a balloon on the left side until it reached my ear. I pretty much lost my hearing for while this was happening as already have hearing problems on my right side and my (usually normal left side) sounded like I'd dunked my head underwater and started swimming away from my client. I felt extremely light headed and voluntarily blinked and bit hoping it would go away before feeling so unsteady I shut my eyes. (The light headedness felt like back in my high school days when I played waterpolo and someone dunked my head underwater before I could get a breath and held me there a minute too long not to feel weird when I came up.) I the pressure at first seemed to totally subside after a minute or 2. The vision issue was gone along with the pressure and I could hear (what I initially thought) was normal again. My co-worker sat me down in a chair and 15 minutes later I felt mostly okay, save the light headedness and a heaviness and pain in my right leg that later subsided. It was at this point I also noticed my hearing actually wasn't back to normal yet when some of the pressure in my ear came down gradually increase small waves and I could hear more. At about 30-45 minutes later I had minor pressure in my ear but it was improving, still felt light headed (but somewhat less so), and was left feeling largely fine except for a sensation of pins and needles in the left side of my face (more noticable and bilaterally in my lips and in my hands (particularly in my fingers). I often have neuropathy due to an autoimmune disease and a (still undiagnosed but likely) neurological issue. While that neuropathy is triggered by many inane things (like sneezing, holding something too long or too heavy, temp, etc) it's perherpial and does not involve my face. I saw a doctor (not mine as she was unavailable but another in a nearby associated practice where they had my records) and my neuro exam while note entirely normal was largely unchanged from the past year as far as she could surmise from my explanations and previous notes. I was slightly less stable when standing with my eyes closed and I could not feel her touch the left side of my face as much as my right, but everything else showed no changes. She did not notice any signs of left facial weakness but I previously had documented right facial weakness that she had not seen, so she said all she knew I that there wasn't a major change to indicate a stroke. We were also able to rule out any anxiety attack as my anxiety is under control enough it's essentially resolved and I wasn't anxious and did not have the physiological signs I always get during an anxiety attack. She did not know what it was but asked me to see my doctor tommorow. In case my doctor is equally at a loss as she was, it would be nice to have some idea what might have happened. My basic info: I'm 30 yo Native American/Caucasian mix male (actually female to male transgender but I transitioned fully a long time ago and had "all the surgeries"and have been on a stable dose of testosterone the last 15 years). My BMI is 31 but I was very fit despite my weight up until a few months ago when my job responsibilities changed and I spent less time working out and more at work. I have an diagnosed rare rhuematic autoimmune disease that is uncommon enough to be identifying (hence not listing it here) but these symptoms are completely different and not that. Autoimmune disease, cancers, and heart conditions/stroke run in my family and if you believe those tests that come along with the ancestry ones, I have more than my fair share of mutations in that area but aside from the autoimmune disease and some still undiagnosed neuro stuff I've been very much fine in those areas. I had a CBC 1.5 months ago and it was normal as well as a normal CT head scan in January of 2019. My neurologist finds my exams clear and consistently very off in certain ways but not in a way that she recognizes as a specific pathology. I'm vegetarian and take vitamin B-complex and D most days. I take buproprion for seasonal dystmia and sometime take clonazepam if I have tremor or spasms that get in my way but overall don't take much medication, preferring to manage chronic issues through learning to tolerate them. I'm wondering if there's anyone who might have any idea what happened? I didn't know what a stroke would feel like and was worried about that, hence seeing the doctor, but with that out of the way it's just bizarre and I'm really curious. It's annoying but not painful so I'm not that worried about it but also I have other seemingly unrelated stuff going on so being able to rule it out as a one off thing (if possible) would be helpful. I see my doctor tommorow at the urging of today's doctor but lately she's been at a loss about a few symptoms (mainly neuro). She's a very good doctor but her field of depth outside GP stuff is rheumatology... so likely not this and I suspect given the other doctor's amount of shrugging at the incident today she might not know, either. Her general approach is to ask around, so we'd both appreciate any input. Thanks!
