When I was a junior in high school I had severe stomach pains and went to the bathroom where I stripped off all of my clothes in the stall and LAID on the floor...
I had severe stomach pain, extreme sweating, ringing in my ears, I fainted for a brief time, woke up and sat on the toilet in time to have a watery bowel movement - afterwards I was pale (white/almost greenish) and felt worn out from what had just happened - in total it lasted for 30 minutes to an hour. I have had them right around my menstural cycle each time. I would have these "spells" as I called them, about once every other month. My gynocologist put me on birth control and I have had them a lot less.
I have been going to a doctors office and getting tests ran for a few months - I have had cat scans of my head and stomach, sugar tests, blood pressure tests, an EEG, and all sorts of things. They want to do a lactose test Monday, but after reading this board I really think that I have Vaso-Vagal - my doctor had mentioned this but had not performed a tilt-table test. I feel tested out and I'm ready to know what it is.
Please if any of you have any symptoms or information like I... please email me: ams0929@mail.ecu.edu
Thanks and I hope that all of you can find out what you have as well!
