Q: Vertigo and depression ...

I will try to make this a clear and as short as possible. About 6 years ago when I was 27 I had a strange episode where I would get dizzy and start to slur my speech. Went to a neurologist because I thought maybe I was having little strokes... this happened about 30 times a day for about 4 or 5 months. He took an MRI, MRA, and did an EEG. He said he saw no signs of a stroke and said it must be stress. That was the end of that and this symptom went away on its own. Then I went into a depression and experienced anxiety attacks pretty soon after this episode and it has never gone away. Now currently I am almost 35 and I have vertigo, depression, major fatigue, trouble swallowing, PVCs, blurry vision that comes and goes quickly. I also get these strange electric shocks in my head and lower back and leg, and I can not handle the heat I get really sweaty, and oh I urinate about 3 times a night no less than twice. I want to make an appointment with my doctor but do not know what to say!! I am miserable and tired all he time!! HELP!!!

Morning, HOney when you go to the doctor tell him exactly what you said here..What ever is going on certainly sounds different..Anxiety attacks can cuase many things but--keep following through if you don't get an answer you feel fits whats going on..

We know our bodies better than anyone so when you see there is a problem keep on track..Making a diary would help tremendously when letting doctor know what is going on, when it happens, where ithappens..They will want to know the severity, EXACT location etc.. I hope oyu get in soon and at least get started on answers..
