Default any ideas what this is, anyone?????

I have an app with a neuro in 2 weeks but in the meantime Id like to know what others think is happening to me because Im getting quite freaked out .
It started with a feeling in my stomach ( like it feels when ur stomach drops on a rollercoaster) accompanied by a racing heart and then the feeling would spread through my chest into my head and followed by a intense hot flush this would happen in waves for about an hour about 5 minutes apart and then end in a coldness and I would shiver for a few minutes and then it was gone I didnt feel right for a while after but then it didnt happen again for a few days, the thing is it would only happen of a night when I was just drifiting off to sleep or was asleep and when I would sit up it was far less intense but did still happen.

It has now progressed diffrently it all happens in my right side, well it has happened in the left side twice but predominatly in the right side, I get a tingling numbess in face arm and leg it gets pretty bad sometimes to the point of I cant move it for a few seconds, and I get a tightness in the right side of my head with a feeling there isnt enough blood getting to it.
Over the past few weeks I have had these episodes at least once a week the intial "attack" of buzzing, numbness, tingling, sweating, pressure, optical issues, confusion comes in like waves which go for anywhere between 10 min to 2 hours and then afterwards I usually have a kind if sick feeling in my gut like someting bad is gonna happen, anxiety and the right side of my body feels weak numb and tingling and the right side of my head is either numb or feels like there is water running over it and my right face feels droopy but dosnt look it.

In between these attacks alot of the time I have eye issues a few blurry bits on and off occasionaly some spots, flasjing lights, sensativity to light.
For a few days before all this started I had noticed I was finding it hard to do things with my right hand, no so much unco but just weird and now its pretty much both hands like eating dinner is hard and so is typing.
I lost words very easy forgot names of simple things even my daughters name eluded me for like 5 minutes the other day.

I have had a ct scan everything was good with that. Any ideas would be great just to help me get some ideas before I go t the neuro.

I had a bad car accident in 1999 and seperated my axis nealry decapitated my self from the inside, since then I have had huge problems with my neck dizziness, numbness, cant wear high heels cause my head and neck get very tight and feel like Im going to fall over, heavy limbs and so forth I cant look back forward or sideways without getting dizzy sometimes something in my neck/shoulder region gets caught and I get so dizzy eeven laying down the room spins I cant move until it resolves, I dont think a neck issue could cause the other "atttacks" but Im willing to consider everything Im pretty scared right about now.

Thanks Julie

oh and sometimes when I take iburofern the intial attacks will stop but I dont know if its the actual meds or the getting up and going to get them that stops it, or if its just a coincidence and they were going to stop anyway, and now I have started getting this tingling in my lower back / buttocks down into right leg for a hour or so before I need to have a bowel movement?????
