Hi, I am a 24 year old women with alot of the same symptoms as you have described. I had never experinced anything like this until about a year ago. After 2 trips to the ER , where they did nothing for me, I was advised to have my thyroid checked. I did, and it was okay, then I was sent to a cardiologist who just monitored me and said that it happens in a lot of young women. I am a new business owner and do have a lot of stress. Yesterday the VV revisted while I was in my office. Again it started with a watery stoll and then a burning sinsation throughout my body, as if I was buring under my skin. At the same time my skin was cold and clammy. I felt like I would pass out any minute! I felt sick and was shaking all over, I couldn't stand. I finally got to my Ativan, I take for anxiety, and layed in the floor. It finally passed, but I slept the entire day and still feel worn out today. Is that normal? Should I have gone to the ER again? Even though they don't help? I'm not even sure what VV is, just that they say I have it. It is so scary!
