A week ago I was at home wit my boyfriend and I had just finished eating a burger. 5 min later it felt like I had indigestion so I stood up and went into the bathroom. I suddenly felt cold and broke into a cold sweat, I looked into the mirror and I was clammy and very pale. It startes off as a faint ringing in both ears and suddenly everything sounded muffled, my vision blurred and everything was bright and like tunnel vision, I got dizzy and nauseous (puked a little) an suddenly it felt like I couldn't stand up so I slumped on the toilet seat, I couldn't even budge. The back of my neck ached and hurt, my whole body was tingly and my speech became slurred. I felt my heart beating fast and irregularly but I didn't have difficulty breathing. My boyfriend laid me down and immediatel felt exhausted like I had to fall asleep, but I asked him to keep me awake. It felt like I was about to pass out. I ha gotten a physical 2 weeks ago and my blood pressure was fine. Has anyone had these symptoms? This is the 2 and time I've felt like this, 1st time it wasn't as intense. This 2nd time I thought I was having a stroke and I'm barely 26

Sounds almost like a panic attatck. The other possibility is stroke. Did your heart feel irregular other then just going fast? Also it could have been some type of alergic reaction that could have been the root caus. You should talk to your doctor about it and also keep a diary of what your eating etc.

Jinxie, kind of hard to say if you had a mild heart attack or not, could have been a stroke, but I am going for mild heart attack. If I were you I would get to a doctor as soon as possible and get checked out. This could be a warning.

More of a hard fluttering, palpatating feeling. I didn't have trouble breathing or anything. Im not alergic to anything, I even thought it wasthe burger I ate but ruled it out as food poisoning. My arms didn't go numb and I didn't feel chest pain, a slight pressure. When I was in bed I felt fine, but when I sat up I felt dizzy again, after 40 min I felt fine. Im not on any sort of medication, I did get H1N1 in December 09, and my immune system and lungs are weak due to being sick. My doctor had said that since my lungs are still recovering icant take in as much oxygen and shouldn't over exzert myself. I looked online and possibly angina or hypotension. I will deffinately let my doctor know.
