Hi I just had some sort of attack, its happened a few times before but not on a regular basis and I cant seem to find a link. It starts with really painful tinglng in my hands, then I get really hot and I feel like my heart is pounding out of my chest and I can hear it in my head. The tip of my tongue goe tingly and I find it really hard to breath, then I need to go to the toilet, it always normal - not diorreah but the attack continues after this and the tightness in the chest and tingling hands is still here a little and it started half hour ago. Can you help?
There are several things that can cause this. Simple panic attacks can present with symptoms exactly like this. Endocrine problems like overactive thyroid or pheochromocytoma can also cause this, although they are not common causes of this constellation of symptoms.
