Hi all today iv been experiencing a new symptom its been on and off all day it starts with like a wave of nausea which causes me to experience a full body hot flush and my mind goes blank for a few seconds its a little scary...is this anxiety? Can anyone relate?
Hello Sue
How old are you regards hot flushes ?
If you are suffering confusion, what are you doing when this happens. If you rise from sitting or turn your head around to fast you will suffer dizziness.
Flushes can be caused by change of life, getting oler mid to late fifties.
If all this has just begun, not to worry. I get confused and my short term memory is shot all day and every day.
If your brain goes blank over an extended period. Sometimes Anxiety can also cause a Nausea and forgetfulness.
I have a question for you, can you relate in any way if a condition is an actual illness or just Anxiety. Sometimes when in pain I suffer the feeling of pain and possibly another problem that I am unable to relate to a Health Problem, I can suffer severe pain down my right hand side, I know what causes it although I become concerned it may be something else. Generally I put it down to my condition and then move on.

I am 45 in regards to the hot flushes but these feel like the adrenaline rush you get with panic attacks and its happened regardless of what iv been doing as far as the mind situation its like my mind goes totally blank and i cant concentrate or il get an overwhelming flood of thoughts then when its over im back to normal and as to your question i cant really differentiate right now between what you say is a normal illness or anxiety
Hello Sue
Your age could be causing flushes, if they continue your GP can give medications. If it is Anxiety.
You mention lack of concentration if this continues you talk to your GP, although Anxiety can cause problems. Basically you are getting brainstorms, if that is the case it sounds like anxiety although I feel to put your mind at rest you see your GP.
BOB.
Thanks Bob erm what do you mean by brainstorms?
Sue
Just your brain has a rush of thoughts, possible multiple different thoughts
BOB
Ah yeah see what you mean their almost like mini panic attacks iv got a docs app on Tues for a medication review il mention it am sure they'll say its anxiety x
Sue
Good Luck for Tuesday, let us know how you get on
BOB
