Yesterday a very weird thing happened to me

I was conversing with friends and we were joking and all then i suddenly felt dizzy. I remained dizzy for almost 10min then i vomited. I lied down for almost 20min then when got up i vomited again and started feeling heavy. I was carried to the car as i wasnt able to walk. Then in the car i lost all control over my body and felt paralyzed like i was paraplegic. I cldnt even lift my finger or speak. All i cld do is move my neck as to answer yes or no questions. I was aware of evthg around me but I cldnt respond or interact. Note that I wasn't feeling any pain, my heartbeat was normal. I had no palpitations, no cold sweat, my vision was normal. Bladder function was normal. I was acting like a receiver being able to grasp everything around me but not being able to respond.

I remained as such for 5 hours

Blood tests were done and everything was normal

Symptoms resolved spontaneously with no medical intervention after 5 hours but when my paralysis ended i restarted feeling dizzy and heavy headed.

I haven't consumed any medications or any substance. I do not smoke nor drink

Please help if you have an explanation

From the way you have written this, I assume you saw a doctor following this episode.

Assuming you did  see a doctor, to me, it sounds like a panic attack.  I had them following the death of my husband some years ago.  

Have a look at the following page and see whether it helps at all, then you need to see your GP again.  Perhaps you have something particularly stressful going on in your life at the moment.

I hope this helps and good luck

Hi there

Thanks for you response

These days im happy and everything around me is fine. I haven't heard any bad news (thank god) which is why i feel it strange to have such an attack

I have had responses saying it could be food poisoning. But im looking for more answers.

This is the first time this happens to me

And today im feeling very well.

Thanks again

I hadn't thought of food poisoning but something like a dodgy prawn sandwich could do something similar to what you describe.  And, stress doesn't have to be bad news, it can be anything, even irrational things!

I'm glad you're feeling fine today - perhaps you should go through everything you ate or drank when you were out, it could be something like a member of staff not washing hands and then passing on a bug to you.

I hope you find your answers.
