    Having a severe sudden sharp headache pain above your eye isn't necessarily a big issue, I've had them various times, but if you genuinely have facial drooping or weakness, weak arms and speech issues then seek medical help immediately.

      yes it can!! I just had a mri just now to make sure its not tia.... but I declined contrast because of a med Im on. I know contrast is better but you would think something would still show? if something was wrong?

      I'm sure if anything was wrong it would show. Plus if they genuinely suspected something serious that only comes up in contrast, they would be insisting you had contrast

    christina i dont mean to sound rude, but do you have any friends or family? you seem to have soo many "health" problems in such short spaces of time? Do you need someone to just chat with?

      how did the mri show it wasnt a TIA? you know tia's resolve pretty quick? and you dont need contrast to show that! theres one thing to struggle with anxiety related to your health, its another to make up absolute bullsh*t! you post in so many forums i cant count, you need a therapist not a forum!

      you have NO idea what you are talking about and who are you to put judgement on me. Not that its any of your concern, but I DO have a heart diagnosis called AFib. Look it up, this IS my body and MY life. Every time I DO feel something wrong with my heart, I will go to the hospital and IT IS NOT WASTING ANYONES TIME. how ignorant are you? I have developed extreme health anxiety because of this and not everyone can afford therapy. Thats WHAT THIS FORAM IS FOR. So if your sooo offended by my posts... keep your negative thoughts to yourself and please move on. I have spoken

      i never said i was offended by your post! im offended by the lack of education you have been given regarding this diagnosis, because i do know what im talking about, thats why i commented on this post and not the 10 other ones you posted! Its called Atrial fibrillation, im well aware of it, i deal with numerous patients with it. You can turn up to the emergency everyday and be told the same thing and sent home, or you can educate yourself. im clearly on the wrong forum, i thought we should give honest feedback and EDUCATED advice, clearly you dont like that!

    Hi everyone

    I am having a lot of the same problems as you guys do, from

    anxiety, that can go to panic attacks because of the hearth going to overdrive

    filling like going to have a stroke to dizziness, hot patches on the skin, tingling sensation in the muscles to muscle twitching and extreme chronic fatigue.

    The question is did any of you have fluke or pinworms, or at least get tested for them?
