Thanks for the comments. :)

The doc is checking my thyroid, but he's leaning towards anxiety attack. He prescribed some Xanax for episode-only use, not even sure I'd get it again since there hadn't been anything unusual in my life to set it off.

However, I now have a sinus cold with an earache. Maybe it was a perfect storm of being my normal stressed-out self, starting to feel a little dizzy and sick from the head cold, but then being stuck in a car, driving on a curvy hilly highway?

Dunno. Hope it doesn't happen again though. *EYES BRAIN*

I am glad you posted this. If you hadn't, I'd have spent the rest of the evening debating with myself "should I email? But it's only been a day - people are allowed off the internet for a whole day. But this is Michelle... but maybe she's in bed? Maybe I should email anyway and check. But what if that annoys her?"

What I am trying to say is: I WORRY. IN A SLIGHTLY NEUROTIC WAY.

*Hugs* to you.

HEH. Not annoying. I'm just a bit tired is all.

Hope you feel better soon, Sweetie!

Thanks.

glad you're alright! I hope they figure out the cause tho! THat's super freaky!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Good! In that maybe it was nothing serious, obviously. Not in that you had to see a doctor and all.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

The combination of sinus weirdness and stress sounds pretty plausible to me. It's amazing how much those tiny sinus cavities can affect how the rest of your body feels. Bleh.

Feel better!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *pokes sinuses*

[tarzanic.livejournal.com]

Glad to see you posting! Feel better! *hugs gently*

GET BETTER! I can always take over commenting in your journal until you do. :D

Sounds like your hypothesis might be about right. The ears are complex, but very delicate things. I know someone who recently had viral neuronitis, wherein the sheath of the nerve that carries messages to the brain from the ears, becomes inflamed. He collapsed, ending up in hospital for a couple of days. x_x He was still pretty pale and slightly dizzy for the rest of the week after.

Please be careful for the next little while, and get plenty rest, alright? Don't try to do too much.

*hugs real tight*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

That sounds wretched. :(

But thanks. The plan is to snooze this weekend.

[misssara11.livejournal.com]

I hope you get better! I prefer my friends un-sick!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[yourebrilliant.livejournal.com]

*hugs* glad it's nothing too serious. Hope you get it all resolved soon.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm glad too.

Seriously, that's almost exactly how mine happened. Dizziness/vertigo and a bad headcold, stress from work, but replace 'being stuck in a car, driving on a curvy hilly highway' with 'being stuck on an express train and not able to get off when I felt ill'.

*HUGS* Feel better.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You know, it's kinda nice to know that other people have this, as crappy as it is.

[ginamak.livejournal.com]

I think that might have been exactly it. Still--enjoy the Xanax. ;)

Seriously, though, I'm very glad you're okay.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

I am sort of curious about the Xanax. :D

[sherbertglasses.livejournal.com]

The earache and sinus problem are probably what caused it. You probably have an inner ear problem. It messed with your equilibrium and makes you disoriented. It can cause symptoms of vertigo.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*nods* I have a feeling that was it. There really wasn't anything unusual as far as stress goes that day.

[starlightmoonla.livejournal.com]

**HUGS**

Hope you start feeling better soon! :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I wonder if the incident was caused by a sinus problems. I get chronic sinus infections and they always make me dizzy and light headed. Take it easy this weekend.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think it could have contributed to it as well. And I will.

Having some experience with all the many things that can futz up your sense of balance and cause vertigo, that's definitely within the realm of possibility.
Careful with the Xanax, though. The level of addictiveness of that stuff is often seriously underestimated.

*big one-armed hug*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

My prescription is for a tiny amount, only to be used if I have another panic attack. So hopefully it won't be so bad.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

I am still making my way through my LJ backlog, but I hope that you have taken this Saturday to kick back and relax and recover. *hugs*

[audrich.livejournal.com]

I really hope you feel better soon xx

[acciochocolate.livejournal.com]

Feel better!

[driftingatdusk.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to stop by with a huge big *hug* and I hope your doctor get to the bottom of it soon and you start feeling better. *more hugs*

I know from experience that anxiety attacks can sometime be like this - and there doesn't always have to be an obvious cause for one to brought on. xx

[maypanic.livejournal.com]

Sorry, just now getting around to everyone after my vacation - so sorry to hear you've been sick. In my experience, lot of times sinus infections can sneak up on you before they wallop you upside the head with all the symptoms you mentioned- and sometimes it spreads to inner ear, too. Did they not prescribe you something for the dizziness and nausea, like maybe Antivert?
If you're still dizzy, Dramamine II is the same med, and available OTC, just ask a pharmacist. It doesn't make you sleepy like regular Dramamine and really helps with the dizzy.

*hugs* Feel better soon!

I'm late coming to the "something is wrong" party, and it looks like your haven't had any good health updates since then, but WOW! I'm glad you're alright, and I hope whatever is wrong, it will be sorted out asap!
