I ll start from the beginning
- Felt sharp pain on several area on my body, frequently happen on left chest but not at the heart area
- Started few months ago, after i start working which i need to face computer all the time even at home
- On November, sharp pain at chest area, but lasted 30-60minutes, way longer compare to 5-10minutes in the past
- Along with the pain, this time i felt numbness (Tingling and needle poking sensation) on both my palm and legs
- Was sent to clinic but doctor said it's only muscle pain
- Next day, went to another gov hospital and do ecg test, again, everything is normal
- Few days later, while taking bus back home, dizzy, chest till head feel numb, both hand cannot move at all, just tingling and needle poking sensation
- Sent to hospital selayang to check up, ECG, X-Ray, Urine test normal, blood test show very high CK level
- Warded for a week till CK lvl drop then was sent back home but doctor said my numbness might be panic attack
- Still feeling dizzy after discharge for around one week then everything back to normal
- A week or two week ago, felt dizzy again, felt numb on palm occasionally
- Few days ago, numb on chest and palm again, this time last damm long, more than 6hours
- As usual, went to selayang hospital, doctor do 2 blood test and asked me to go back while my hand still numb and said ''Maybe it's just a panic attack''

Now everyday i going to work or taking bus to home i ll be damm worry and scare i ll felt numb again but no one wan to help me
Everyday i live in fear and frustrated cause no one take my symptom seriously
Even my bro got frustrated for always sending me to hospital but found out i have no health issue
Izit every farking disease and symptom can be check by blood test alone?????

Tell me what can i do now, im feeling weak recently, no appetite, a bit headache etc....
I planning to go to private hospital to check up but financial seriously restricted me...
Later will go to try chinese medication (Acupunture) and hope will get better
I hope someone can guide me as im really frustrating nowadays....

PS: Dont copy paste google info of my symptom and show it to me cause i myself ady googled countless time unsure.gif

Update: So, it might be a neurology problem, anyone have idea how much will it roughly cost to consult a neurologist specialist?

Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) diagnosed base on
1.Ischemic type of chest pain last > 20minutes
2.ECG changes
3.Raised Cardiac Enzyme (CKMB and troponin T)

if 2 of 3 is positive, that's heart attack.

so in your case, there is only chest pain, and there is dozens differential diagnosis of chest pain.

and u did do stress test? IF the result is normal, it's quite sure the problem is not heart.
*
Stress test normal, doctor ady said its not heart attack so lets move on to the numb part now...

QUOTE(lilacfla @ Jan 5 2010, 12:37 AM)
they might say that cos of no other sure causes.

they cant say to you 'it might be a indicator of you having heart failure/heart attack.'

of thing they doesnt sure, they cant make assumptions.

but you should insist the doctor to elaborate to you more. ask him questions. of panic attack why? why and why?

well feel bad 4 you. go to another hospital, if selayang cant satisfy you.

or you can seek for alternative medicine. bomoh/ biodisk/ etc etc
*
I don't believe in bomoh stuff....
At least they shld put more effort to investigate my symptom by doing more test...

QUOTE(panda-man @ Jan 5 2010, 12:52 AM)
from the symptoms you mentioned it does sound like early signs for a heart attack or stroke. is there anything that triggers it? like after eating or something? do you have shooting pains down your arms? or just your palms?
*
Usually it happened when im alone, in the bus or lying on bed....
No shooting pains down my arms thou...
No pain, only numbness

QUOTE(zalmerox @ Jan 5 2010, 01:01 AM)
- Exercise regularly
- Eat healthy ( veggie, fruits, steam food, less preservatives, etc)
- No more ciggies and alcohol
- Take one fish-oil a day.
- Walk a bit after every 30-60 mins of computer work. (improves blood flow)
This steps might look mundane and simple, but many individuals overlook that these simple steps might actually make a difference in our lives. Hope this helps.

I doubt there's any instant cure and medication.
*
I do walk regulary when working in front pc for too long, i dun take ciggies nor alcohol....
Eat also not much preservative stuff...

QUOTE(chingwooi @ Jan 5 2010, 02:49 AM)
Em, are you afraid of you're getting certain illness?
*
No im not afraid, in fact i just wan2 get the damm diagnose asap

Btw so im back from acupunture treatment
The Doctor/Sifu said my blood circulation is slow on my wrist, something not right with my blood vessel
After done some acupunture on my both hand, can feel the circulation getting better
Need to go back again 2molo thou

Actually if i got work, after i reach home at night i ll be damm tired
Still, i have to manage my pets stuff like feeding and cleaning enclosure etc
While going and back from work also i walk a distance anw sweat.gif
Monday usually is rest time where i spend my time sleeping at home laugh.gif
Ok, i ll go run staircase on monday starting next week

Anw, lack of blood circulation can cause death?
While acupunture work, it takes time to heal
I was thinking should i straight away go to Selayang Hospital again and insist on a Angiogram test to check my circulation or continue with acupunture

QUOTE(ivzh @ Jan 6 2010, 01:59 PM)
Hw's is ur blood pressure/blood sugar/cholesterol lvl?
and do you smoke? dietary habit?

All of this factor possible influencing the blood circulation in our body

Well the blood circualtion in our body divided to 2 = peripheral vs center/axial (whatever u call, i cant remember exactly the correct term)

Peripheral = blood supply to our limbs, and end organ (like penis)
Center = to vital organ (heart, brain, lung, kidney, liver)

So if failure of blood reach the vital organ = lethal or organ failure. Myorcardial infartion is an example of poor coronary artery perfusion.

While if the blood flow to peripheral is problematic, term as peripheral arterial diseae (PAD), the affected limbs will present with loss of sensation or numbness (as nerve cant get the o2 and nutrition supply), pain (ischemic pain triggered after walking for a distance),  and skin changes at the limbs (loss of hair + could ulcerate) and muscle atrophy. The presentation is depend on the severity of disease...

i don't know what is the thing u having la.. bt to diagnose peripheral arterial disease, they use ultrasound doppler. And most of them who have PAD have high risk for heart attack and stroke too...
*
I don't smoke, blood pressure/blood sugar/cholesterol lvl i assume normal since doctor said everything is fine with blood test+blood pressure etc
I googled for symptom of blood circulation prob and looks like i only have a few symptom
No pain, no chaging of skin color etc, just the symptoms i mentioned on my 1st post
But i still think it's something with my circulation as i can really feel "funny" blood flow once a while

QUOTE(jpaul @ Jan 6 2010, 02:05 PM)
I had the same problem like you last time.

It was migraine.

I visited so many doctors until i met one of the doc from Pantai Cheras.

After 1 week medication, I am fine until today. **touchwood**
*
Care to elaborate more of ur symptoms?
Are they all the same with mine?
Damm, the doctor must be a saviour!
Pls provide more info, im excited! notworthy.gif

Whooops sorry, but cleaning their enclosure is also exercise I guess. Yes, simple ones like simply going up and down the stairs (and using them instead of lift) helps us move about.

Hmmm I see... working on a Sunday must be boring when everyone else is on break. It's okay, no badminton but you can try squash! Just take care of your body and never over-exert yourself. In case your place has a yoga centre, you might wanna try it too. Yoga helps you to stretch, keeps a good posture, massage certain organs in your body and teaches you breathing technique. It's my 3rd month in class and I feel good about it.

Acupuncture seems really scary. I was told it's not painful but I guess having these needles poke into you must have hurt!
*
Yoga... Interesting.. If only got fren will join with me... Im really a timid person and joining a class alone require a lot of courage for me sweat.gif
Acupuncture only hurt on certain sensitive area like hand (My case) and legs
Well it hurt a bit, but the enjection from hospital to take blood sample is far more painful than acupuncture shakehead.gif

QUOTE(jpaul @ Jan 6 2010, 02:40 PM)
To make it short, my symptoms was sudden attack of dizzyness, numbness of palm, hand & legs and body, vomiting.

Multiple body blood test, body check up done but all are fine.

I am not a smoker or heavy drinker.

It started during my college time, stress because of project.

Taking med from normal clinic will only cure for 1 or 2 weeks then will start again.

I went to Pantai Cheras and see this doc, she recommended me to do CT scan & blood test just to make me feel comfort about my brain & body are fine. Before the scan she already told me nothing wrong with my body and brain.

After result out, she said it was because of migraine and give me some med. Took the med for a week plus and some side effect like hand shaking are expected.

After that healthy until now [smile.gif]


Added on January 6, 2010, 2:42 pmLast time was very bad, the dizzyness attack while I am driving. Really feel helpless.

Need to call parent or friend to rescue me. sigh....

I din tell because i really dont think it's allergic reaction from my pets
I keep them all clean, never handle them and my bro are sharing the room with me
If it's because of the pets, my bro will be the same as well imo
As i know, allergic reaction symptoms are not like that

I'll try sleeping earlier, though it is kinda difficult sweat.gif

QUOTE(myremi @ Jan 7 2010, 08:02 PM)
The thing about allergies is that it can developed over prolonged exposure. I'm actually not thinking about the bites but more of the stuff that it's in your pets container. Can you keep your pets outside of your room rather than where you're sleeping?

Also, I see from your blog that the skin of your fingers are peeling off. Are you dehydrated i.e. lack of water? I know it's a far-fetch theory but you never know and you have nothing to lose since doctors haven't found out what's wrong.
*
Actually i have way too much of them to move it out of my room
There is no space to put them elsewhere to be frank
Not forget to mention bout the risk of guest being exposed to them, acciddent might happen especially when some of my pet can kill
But here is wat i can do, i ll sleep in the living room from now on

Bout the skin peeling off, it happen all the times even im hydrated, for as long as i can remember

QUOTE(redbustop @ Jan 7 2010, 08:02 PM)
How about Hospital Selayang? How much does it costs? Yea, Im really worry about the fees, definitely gonna cost a bomb in private hospital.

Selayang hospigal wont cost much because its a gov hospital
Last time i gt warded inside for one week cost me less than hundred

I've gone through a lot test but they did not check on my neurology systems where i suspect the problem lies there
I wasn't in panic when the symptoms strike, i was in peace of mind lying on bed resting when it suddenly strike me


Added on January 8, 2010, 7:37 pmMy plan now is to go hospital selayang and ask them to do neurology test on me but im afraid they wont do it....

Oh well, im back from selayang hospital, doctor din do nerve test thou
This time the doctor was helpful enuff to explain in detail bout my symptom
She said everytime i went there my phosphate lvl will be low which will lead to numbness, heavy breathing etc (Hyperventilation)
All the time it heal itself without any medication, phosphate lvl went back normal after awhile while waiting for blood result so it's highly unlikely to have something to do with my nerves
So all this while it's because of hyperventilation which happen because im nervous or scare...... doh.gif
