Take care of yourself and go easy too. I had a similar episode way before I was diagnosed with PD. Never did get to the bottom of it, but remember being absolutely incensed when I was told I probably had a panic attack. It was like putting the horse behind the cart....... never helps when people do that to you...... put down your experience. You describe the funny tasting sensation...... that sounds drug related. Hope you appetite and your normal self come back quick. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Lindy,
I'm doing much better, thank you. I've been sleeping a lot and taking a good week off from work. They actually are hiring the guy I work with and also bringing in a contractor. It took this scare to do this!
The headache is pretty much gone now too, probably at a 1 or 2 on the smiley face scale. I plan on following up on this and will not let the doctors get the better of me. I don't like being humored and told "it's all in my head", which it is, lol, but not in the way they mean. My face is still numb on both sides and I drool badly at night. I have to blot my face all night with a paper towel or napkin because it gets chapped by morning. I've never drooled like this before!
I wouldn't doubt if the medication in general got to me. My schedule has been off and I've been trying to keep that adjusted. The funny thing is now without the stress from work, everything works the way it should. Perhaps that was part of the problem as well.
