Sudden Confusion, Tremors, Dizziness, Passing out, Etc.?????
 
A little background....I am 29 & have reflex sympathetic dystrophy, gastroparesis (vomit daily), syncope (passing out), etc.

However, Saturday night, I suddenly got super lightheaded & started passing out every few minutes for several hours. During which, I could not move at all. The passing out was alot more severe than usual. THe next morning I started having really bad tremors, & having alot of confusion.....will be talking & all of a sudden mid-sentence start talking jibberish for a few seconds, reading ability comes & goes, same with writing ability......had one of my neices 5 year old age level activity book with VERY simple questions....I could only answer about 1 of 5 questions.....this part is constant since Saturday. The jibberish/reading/writing stuff is intermittent. I have also sleep walked every night since the bad night Saturday night.

I have talked to 2 doctors so far & they both dont know whats going on. They both said possible stroke or seizure but needed to run some tests. I'm scheduled for 2 MRI's, CT scan, ultrasound, EEG, etc.

I dont know what to think because my symptoms dont really match a seizure or a stroke. I have some of the symptoms but only roughly half. If anyone has any guesses or insight I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!!

OK, so here are just some wild brainstorming some easy guesses to start off -
  • Low glucose (some meds can cause this temporarily, but others can cause permanent metabolic changes, also could be due to the vomiting)
  • Low blood pressure (again, possible medication related, but sometimes happens on its own)
  • Reaction (even delayed) to some food, such as gluten or dairy
  • Missing some nutrient for whatever reason - it is surprising how many doctors don't check it all. You might want to look into spectracell.
  • water or electrolyte imbalance (again, especially if vomiting is involved, but can happen even without that)
  • Migraine
