omgosh!!!! I feel the same way about hairdryers. I cannot use the hairdryer right after the shower or I feel so bad. I hate hottubs! never been in a sauna and never will.

I've been sitting here on the computer for a couple of hours I was eating my snack but then I feel like I am losing my sense of touch. like it felt weird when food was in my mouth and my fingers feell ight and floaty and I am super out of it and my fingers feel like the tips of my fingers don't feel things right. is it from playing the guitar earlier? haven't played it in a couple months. iim really out of it and I just feel numb like a zombie idk what is wrong with me. I feel like I have to think before I talk I am afraid that I am not goigni to be able to speak right or make sense and right now as I am typing I felt like something bit my head but nothing is there . I just took my hair tie out and put my hair upside down and shook and rubbed real good but nothing came out . I feel as if im going crazy. and a little bit ago idk if I was imagining it but the bones in front of my ears like the ones where the end of the jaw bone meets the other bone ached when I ate. idk. I feel as if im going crazy. does any one want to talk with me back and forth? im worried.

I have dysautonomia and I have a really sharp sense of smell. I am so sensitive to smells especially chemical smells like nail polish remover. My sense of smell is so strong that I can tell what flavor of jolly rancher people are eating and when someone is cooking in the kitchen and I am up in the shower I can smell it. Also I am sensitive to florescent lightingin which gives me anxiety and I cant focus in stores. antoher issue I have when shopping I get very disoriented going down an aisle because I feel like I am being closed in and when I look at an aile I have to lolk at ey elevel or I get dizzy looking up. I have been lightheaded all morning because of the hot shower ii took and it finally started going away after I had ramen for lunch. but then my stepdad had to go paint the basement and it reeks of paint in the kitchen and living room. the smell btohers me so much that ii was getting lightheaded again and agitated. I am outside now but it is so stinkin cold outside. what are symptoms of paint inhalation? I don't want to get fume poisoning but I have knowwhere to go because I don't drive yet. my parents don't believe me with my sense of smell. is being in a house with paint fumes dangerous?

Its also hard for me to look at the computer as well. I don't understand why i am having trouble focusing on things and its so uncomfortable.

My whole life I have been taking hot showers and hasn't affected me. But I was always quick in the shower before. Just recently i have been taking longer showers. Its colder out now and we don't have the heat on because its expensive and we don't have pellets yet for the pellet stove so after I wash up i stand in the shower for like 20 minutes until all the hot water is gone. Its so relaxing. The only downside is my legs get all red and blotchy and I feel so lightheaded all morning and disoriented and sometimes i get headaches like i have one now. I just feel so disoriented and out of it. How do i get rid of these symptoms??

I always have brain fog. I always feel disoriented. I feel depressed everyday because I feel so out of It and unreal like I am in a dream like state. I can't do every normal day things. I feel worse when I go outside or go places. I get to the point where I feel so disoriented that I can't function right then I have a deep fear that I won't be able to speak right, or think right. 2 or 3 years ago I started getting these migraines. I don't know if it was because of the lyme disease I got or not. But every couple of months I get scary migraines. they don't start off as headaches oh no. The first one I got was the one Friday night at my boarding school I went to. I woke up at 4 in the morning with the left side of my face numb and feeling out of it. I went back to bed. Then I woke up and had a migraine and threw up a lot. Then the migraines get scarier. The one time I was in walmart at school and I get anxiety in walmart and those places with lots of people and florescent l ights bother me and crowds do too. all of a sudden my right side of my face goes numb and my eye goes numb and my right hand goes numb then I feel like I was having trouble thinking, focusing, and concentrating. I felt like I was going to pass out. we got back I had dinner then I got a really bad migraine. I tried to email my mom saying I need to go to the hospital but my hands wouldn't work and I couldn't see what I was typing so it came up all jumbled. then I went to bed because staff don't do anything at that school and mom called in because the jumbled email worried her but I was starting to feel better so I just went to bed. Then another time one December we were eating dinner then all of a sudden I couldn't feel my chicken pattie I couldn't even taste it. Then I asked my staff if I could check my blood sugar because I had hypoglycemia at the time when I was on the one med and when we went to go to the closet my right side of my face went numb and my right hadn went numb then I couldn't think and couldn't speak and I couldn't even get the strip into the tester it kept dropping because I couldn't fele my hands or see right then ms Lawson helped me and my sugar was normal but she came with a glass of juice anyway to make sure then I went to drink the juice and dropped the juice without even knowing it just slipped out of my hand. I tried to say I needed to go to the hospital but it came out in gibberish my words were slurring. and the weird thing is the left side of my face that wasn't numb was all red. Then I layed on the couch for a hwile and the supervisor brought down Tylenol and he said oh your fine its just your raynauds but no it wasn't. then the last one I had was the day before graduation. I was down in my cottage packing with my staff then my eye felt tight and my right side of my face went numb, then the right side of my tongue, chin and roof of mouth went numb, then my right hadn and I had trouble speaking and my right hand turned purple and was very shaky. once again I tried telling them I needed to go to the hospital and they wouldn't take me. I was super lightheaded and seeing little lightning flashes and felt like passing out. Then I got a terrible migraine. So yeah I do feel similar to what you are feeling. I am so sick of them I worry constantly that I am going to have a spell if I am out somewhere. I went to a neurologist and he prescribed me 400 mg of viatimin b2 which I haven't tried yet because we wanted to wait to see if the cardiologist would allow the neurologist to put me on atenolol which he did. I am taking a half of 25 mg tablet of atenolol. your dosing would probably be different cause everyone has different dosing. I hope you feel better and good luck!!!

Yes I never sweat like the drippy sweat even when I exercise. I am so sensitive to heat a little bit ago when it was 72 degrees in our house I was really hot like flushed feeling but no sweating my underarms and back get clammy at times but I never drip sweat. the only time I dripped sweat was when I had a glucose test done and my blood sugar went to 26 and they gave me juice and crackers then I was back to normal.

I've been lightheaded all day but it got better for a while but just now I feel like I can't breath and when I walk around im lightheaded. mom keeps saying oh its in your head but its not. and my chest feels like there is a lump inside and I cough my asthma cough but also when I breath in its a little sore. Its not as bad now that I did my inhaler but its really scary. I really don't get that way with my asthma. I usually just get the cough. what is wrong with me?

I have had this feeling a lot. It's like it almost seems like your nausceious in your head instead of stomach. I am feeling k ind of like that now. like I am having trouble focusing on things and one time I got up and was going to head up the stairs and I heard wooshing sounds in my ears. my bp oddly doenst crash when I get up from sititng it rises. plus are you due for your time of the month? I get that way when I am due and I am due in 2 days.

Thanks everyone I am fine now. I had some ramen soup with a lot of salt and been drinking Gatorade and I am fine

I live in Pennsylvania and Its stormy here. there is a cold front I think coming in and there was a really bad storm early this morning. I went to take a shower and I think I took too hot of one. I am really lightheaded now where Its hard to focus on things Then I went outside to take some pictures of the storm clouds and to hopefully get fresh air to feel better but ii felt so worse I couldn't concentrate on anything and things look blurry. im not goiogn to pass out because the only time I passed out was when I was 11 years old and I am now 22. How do I stop this uncomfortable feeling? can hot hot showers lower blood pressure? what do I do to feel better? and why did going outside make me feel worse? now when I type its blurry as well. what is wrong with me? I also have a slight headache.

I am so lightheaded today. I feel disoriented, and tired as well. What really scares me most is feeling disoriented. I mean it could be the weather I Don't know. It is rainy here in PA and windy very windy. I feel disoriented, lightheaded, and I had a headache earlier. I mean I am also due for my period on November 3rd I don't know if this has anything to do with that. I'm out of it and tired. I hate feeling like this.

Another thing I want to ask, Earlier when I breathed in I felt a sharp jabbing pain in my upper left shoulder like on the shoulder blade. it lasted for like 10 minutes. what could cause that? I was doing dishes so I didn't pull a muscle.

What is wrong with me today I hate being lightheaded and disoriented. I am a 22 yr old female.

I always feel better when I exercise. I never really exreicsed for years but I finally got out of my boarding school and had nothing to do so I started exercising and I feel less disoriented and I feel lighter and floaty it only took me a month to start feeling better after I lost ten pounds A great exercise routine is the biggest loser game on the wii. I started off at light exercisie routines now I am at hard

I felt fine when I woke up this morning. Then I had breakfast and got a shower then after I was done showering I brought my two dogs in the tub and I gave them a bath. I was sitting on a stool and gave them each a bath. then sometime after that I got a headache and it lasted all day. it was on the right side going behnd my ear. I've been lightheaded today too. my neck is stiff and I keep feeling like im hot but im also cold off and on. But I am not getting sick. I don't think so anyway.

I know this sounds stupid but im really worried about the brain eating amoeba. Last night I was brushing my teeth and I used my hands to rinse and spit and I got some water in my nose and the water was warm. Im worried that im infected with the amoeba but my mom thinks im crazy idk. but there is such a thing look it up. I'm worried what is causing me to feel this way? also my neck and face feel hot. advice would be great!!

Thanks!!

It seems as if you have panick attack. Sometiems I get panick attacks out of nowhere. I get very shaky and feel like I cant breath. sometimes when I am at rest or lying down even when I am at the computer I suddenly feel as though I go to breath in and I feel like I cant breath. I always feel unreal and that is mostly cuased by anxiety and if you have shortness of breath of course your going to get lightheaded just try deep breathing. its hard when you have health problems and anxiety because sometimes you wonder if something is wrong with your health but it sreally anxiety.

yes. I think a lot of it was anxiety. I do have a lot of health problems and I tend to worry about them too much when I don't need to. I also have anxiety disorders and it makes me worry thinking something is worse than it is. I do have raynauds phenomenon and my fingers and toes do go blue but they have been bluer since I have been on atenolol which a side effect is poor circulation. I must have been anxious about it which probably caused my shortness of breath. my bp has been lower from the atenolol. I don't take atenolol for high blood pressure so normally when I didn't take atenolol my bp would be about 120/70 somewhere around there and the atenolol is to help my heart not work so hard. Thanks for the advice everyone I am ok

Earlier this week I checked my bp just for a random check and it was 90/60. I don't know if it is lower or not now because my moms bp machine isn't working right. for the past couple days I have been feeling more tired than usual. Today I just feel worse. I don't know if its from the superhot shower I took this morning, the shower was so hot steam was coming off my body and my skin was getting red but it was freezing in the house because we didn't have the heat on so I was cold. I have been feeling lightheaded, no energy, and I feel as if I can't concentrate on anything like if I look in the mirror I feel like I get really disoriented and my eyes can't focus. and I went to use the bathroom which is a different lighting than the kitchen and I felt like the light was yellower or something. my mom hasn't changed the lightbulbs but for osme reason the bathroom light bothered me today. Are these signs of low bp? the thing im mostly concerned about is feeling disoriented and not being able to focus my eyes on things.

Note: I did start atenolol like 3 weeks ago for migraine prevention and so my heart wont work as hard. I am taking a half of a 25 milligram pill a day.

Also I did notice when I was exercising my usual hour exercising I went to do downward facing dog and got woozy when I came up from out of the position.

On a different note I was wondering if anyone else with dysautonomia has issues with raynauds? I have raynauds and earlier in the year I noticed something different where my right hand would just turn purple. randomly. my neurologist was even puzzled.

Advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

Could you also have a case of the flu? sometimes when I have the flu my chest aches and I worry its something wrong with my heart but its just achiness. that is one sign I know I m getting sick is the achy chest. Good luck and God bless!!

I know I posted earlier today about low bp but we c hecked it again and it was lower it was 90/60 and my nail beds got so blue earlier bluer than I have ever seen them. I do have raynauds but they only get blue when they are cold. I had them under hot water doing the dishes and t hey were still blue I have never seen them that blue even my mom took pictures. now I have shortness of breath and my asthma is acting up. what could be causing this?

well are you doing things fast? today my bp was 98/62 and I went to stand up because sometimes I get dizzy and woozy when is tand up too quickly and I chcecked my bp right away after I stood up and it shot up to 111/75 its bizarre.

I get dizzy sometimes and woozy when I stand up too quickly I also hear a whooshing sound in my ear sometimes when I stand up too quickly as well. I checked my blood pressure while I was at rest because I was curious and it was 98/60 and another time it was 92/61 or something like that so it was 98/60 something while I was sitting I stood up quick to see if it goes low, and instead it went high it went tto 111/75 it was strange. anyone else have this happen?

All day I have been feeling weird. Just out of it like a zombie, tired, weak and my heart isn't racing like it does a lot and I have trouble thinking I have to think before I speak. my mom went to check her blood pressure because she had a headache and she has hypertension and then I went to check mine and my blood pressure was 104/70 and my pulse was 71 and I've just been feeling so out of it and thirsty too. also does anyone else have trouble focusing ins tores especially when they have tons of high shelves? I get so lgithheaded when I have to look at tons and tons of shelves and the lighting bothers me ins tores too. Today we went to ollies to get a carpet and I fetl so lightheasded there was so much stuff it was hard to concentrate. when the air pressure outside is high does anyone else not feel well and what symptoms do you get? advice would be great. I feel so weird and it scares me. Thanks!!

Katybug I see you have lyme I was diagnosed with lyme 2 years ago too. I was on antibiotics for 2 or 3 years. I am finally off them now and I think it was j ust anxiety because I am fine today. Thankyou for th advice

It started last night. I went with my friend to spend the night at her apartment for the first time. I have never spent the night anywhere without an adult before. It started last night. I went to eat a pretzel bar granola bar and I felt like it kept getting stuck in my chest. I have also been coughing since noon yesterday. I keep feeling like there is pressure in my c hest and I get heartburn too. I felt like everytime I swallowed the granola bar it would get stuck in my chest and I had to drink a lot after each bite. and same with this morning. and I hae trouble swallowing my food now I have to drink a lot. I have been coughing too. and have heartburn. is this serious? im concerned.

Is there another rain storm coming to the northeast? I live in Pennsylvania and even though its sunny right now I feel lightheaded, weak, out of sorts, and feeling disoritiented like a zombie feeling so out of it and anxious. Sometimes I feel like this when a storm of some sort is coming. Is it going to rain like crazy like it did last week? does anyone else feel the same way?
