Here’s my story for the last year.

It all started when I got this awesome job working with Applied Materials. (They make tools that make semi-conducts, for companies like Intel, AMD, and Micron. I work at the Intel site). Just a little back ground on that. This job requires some travel as well.

I got hired about a year ago, and we moved down from Seattle to the Longview/Kelso Washington area. About after a week went buy, moving in and all. I just happened to be hooking up my surround sound and installing my satellite dishes. Then about 3-4 hours into the day I stared to get really lightheaded/dizzy feeling and tingling shooting down threw my body. I could function and do everything, it felt like I was going to loose my mind. Crock over and have a seizure I guess. Its kind of hard to describe it. Sometimes I would also get the tingling feeling like you have been riding a motorcycle all day. How you body it tingly from the motor vibrating.

So with all that going on I went to the ER, I thought my head was going to pop off, I felt off balanced and couldn’t concentrate on anything, trying to take a nap didn’t help. The doc’s at the hospital ran all kinds of test and even did a CT scan on my head. All the test came back negative. By the time I was out of the hospital the symptoms have gone away.

I kept having these symptoms and they keep scaring the crap out of me. As well when I would wake up in the mornings I would feel all tingling and stuff, from head to toe. I kept going back n fort to the hospital and all the test come back negative. Then my apportionment for my regularly doc came around. She said it was anxiety. Due to my new job, and the fact that flying scares the living shit out of me. She gave me some Lozerpam (spelling wrong I think) to help calm me down. So I went down to Austin for my 7 weeks of work. The symptoms kept coming and coming. More noticeably when I drank caffeine. So I stopped drinking caffeine, and they calmed down some. I also was a smoker to.

I think if it was anxiety, that they should of went way when I landed, right? I knew that I had to fly back home didn’t bother me as much. I did my work down their and flew back home. With my head being all fuzzy and on drugs.
My head was still getting dizzy, like a tingling filling from the back of my head, working its way to the front. It always felt like I was going to pass out and die. Spin out of control or go mad.

At this point its been about half a year. Still nothing has changed. I went back to the doc office and she gave me some Lexapro (Spelling). That’s a antidepressant stuff, I still don’t know why I was on that stuff. I’m not depressed or anything like that.

I was traveling to Az for three months. While on this new medicine. The first month was fine, then after that I was getting these killer headaches from the meds. So I reduced the med by half and that helped a bunch. As well when I was on this meds, it make me fell numb. Not caring about anyone one or myself. Almost ruined my relationship with my current wife, (Almost didn’t get married).

I noticed when I was going out and eating dinner I would kind of get these symptoms back. I would loose my appetite and not eat. The lightheaded/dizzy feeling. (The room was never spinning.) Almost like a motion sickness feeling. It would come and go for a little at a time, not last mostly all day like before. I still do to this day. Still to this day I don’t feel normal like I used to a year ago.

Its like I’m scared to go anywhere, camping out to a movie. Because I fear that when I go, that it will come back and haunt me. The crazy thing is that it really hasn’t some back, like it use to be. Yea my head gets that feeling every once in a while. Mostly when I’m eating dinner, even after dinner. I have all kinds of test done by my doc.

Now I’m like a health nut trying to stay healthy. I never eat out anymore, I’ve stopped drinking caffeine, until recently. I’ve been drinking some cherry coke. I haven’t touched a smoke since the first of the year.
I thought quitting that stuff was good! Any ideals on what could be going on? Its like I can’t have a normal life anymore. Always thinking when the symptoms come back, should I go to the ER!

Now everything that goes wrong with my body I get worried that something is going to happen. Right now I have this throat issues going on. It feel like it closing up and something is stuck in their. The doc said it was allergies, so she gave me some meds for that. That didn’t help. So I called her back and she is going to refer me to a throat spec.

This throat thing has been going on and off for about half a year, and just some short time ago stated to bother be really bad. Could this be related to my lightheadedness/dizzy feelings?

Is their anything or test I should ask my doc next time I see her? Thanks for reading this long post. Any help would be awesome.
