Is it ok to goto the ER if your dizzy, and feeling physically weak?

Is it ok to goto the ER if your dizzy, and feeling physically weak, and......? your mind feels comatose, and your knees are shaking, and you blood pressure has dropped, your seeing colors in your vision, and your sure your heart is beating extra slow, and weak. You suddenly feel like you have asthma (even though you never had) should you know u need to spend a night in the hospital? or will they just send ya way? And im not talking emotional panic attacks or depression your missing the point, I don t get panic attacks. A pannic attack is when your adrenaline come s out and lets you know if you should stay and fight in a situation or flee. I don t get that. I get all my aboved symptoms. ps. never had a panick attack, unless im doing a public speaking event, and that easy to overcome, because after the initial 5 minutes. your finally yourslef.

It sounds much like blood-sugar lowering more than anything else. If you want to be positive about it, do some investigative work yourself before going to ER or your doctor. Buy or borrow a BP/ &heart-rate monitor, and Blood-sugar self-measuring unit, and take some "Normal" readings. THen when an attack comes on, take them again then. NOW you have something positive to show the doctors. and they have something to go on.

There is now a bump on the back of my head that happened immediately after I fell. Today my neck is really stiff I still have pressure around the spot where I hit it as well. And I feel more pressure in the back of my head when I m moving. Any ideas should I goto the ER?

I'm 33 years old with low blood pressure every time I get it checked. The low blood pressure has been going on for years. I just thought I normally have low blood pressure. It was 92/50 las time it was checked. I am 5'2" 165lbs. I gained 15lbs with my pregnancy. My delivery lasted 33 hours and was very stressful. I have loridosis, back pain, heat sensations in my left leg, chest pain and shortness of breath. I just recently went to get checked out by the doctor about dizzy spells and my heart stopping and rapidly starting back. I was diagnosed with RBBB. I'm really scared, because I can feel that my heart is not working like it should. I have a lot of stress with family matters and I would say since I was 13 I've had ongoing high anxiety. I know that is not healthy. What would you say are the reasons that I have RBBB.

Every once in a while I can feel what I believe is a skipped, or extra heartbeat. I have no pain or dizziness or shortness of breath along with this. I do suffer from panic/anxiety and I am currently on Xanax for it. I am also on Levothyroxine for Hypothyroidism. My question is this: I have a trip to Cedar Point coming up in August and I want to know if I should be concerned about going on thrill rides and rollercoasters with my family.
