Anyone have similar symptoms?I I

Tue, 04/07/2015 - 03:37

I am 23 years old and back in highschool received a knarly kick to the left temple I went unconcious.   A few days later on the soccer bus a friend found it amusing to constantly make me flinch by using her hand she was noticing I was flinching at everything.  Eventually I collapsed felt weird. A few years later I became a dog groomer. One day I started breathing weird couldn't breath to well . Felt out of body.  I then started getting very dizzy went to sit down then tingle numbness feeling started in that left temple then spready eventually feeling it through out my body.  I self diagnoised my self with a panic disorder in which I stuck with probably not to smart of me.  

  I just moved to Colorado.  Now my symptoms are getting worse.  The salon here is much busier and more naughty barking dogs.  My most recent attack I realized these are triggered by sound and what I see.  I now get the tingleness and out of body feeling I breath heavy but still am talking but not knowing what I am saying.  Then it gets very dark.  I then start getting very senstive to light and am unable to walk. They last sometimes for hours. I just got my EEG super anxious for results just wanted to see if anyone has similar symptoms? It takes so much energy out of me and I feel just exhausted for days.  I have a feeling these could be due to my bad concussion and have been getting worse what ever this may be severe panic disorder (usually not feeling panicy during) or are these seizures.  These attacks have been haunting my for years.
