I had a wierd thing happen to me

I have posted on both the anxiety and BiPolar sites, having both. I am not sure where this might fit in but yesterday I was sitting in a big soft chair and had my knees bent and turned to the right (almost sitting on my feet with my knees pointing to the right). I went to get up and when I unbent my legs I heard a pop on the left groin area and an incredible sensation of sharp pain. What was really weird about it was immediately I felt a warm rush sensation from that area to my head that heightened in intensity like waves almost until I blacked out. Briefly but blacked out. From that point on I was wiped out of energy for the rest of the day. My head was buzzing and I had tingling and fatigue. This reminded me of my first panic attack I had where I kept blacking out, it felt the same way but I was not having a panic attack. What I am wondering........what was that????!! Anyone have any similar experience?

i haven't had anything like that happen.......i've had panic attacks but never anything so physical.....hope you find out what it is.........xoxoxo pat

Well I told my therapist about what happened. And she explained there are some major meridians in the groin area which creates energy. After the pain that energy swithced to my face as warm and waves of blacking out until I did. She explained when the body is incredibly stress and in an anxious state that it releases too much cortisol and can cause all kinds of crazy things like this to happen. So my body reacted to the pain with an overreaction of other chemicals and threw me into a fatigue attack, threw me for a loop. I am trying to understand all this but I feel like I am not the owner of my own body. I am starting to not be able to plan for any amount of time with friends, etc. because my health changes so rapidly. I 'm trying though, still trying, to go forward with my treatment.

don't give up........that is our mantra.........if we give up or have a lot of negative thoughts about the future.....we're sunk......

please know that i'm thinking about you and hoping you'll feel better soon. xoxoxo pat

hello, I have had alot of things happen to my body that worried me, there was alot of different pains that I have and I used to think I was getting sick or having a heart attack or my lungs were collapsing, and it all makes sense what your therapist says on how your body can react to stress. You have helped ease me alittle thank-you now I won't think every little spasm is an ailment. i wish it would all stop it's so depressing.

I went to see my pdoc yesterday and told him also about what happened to me. He explained that the pain made me black out. Since my adrenals are shot, any pain can be magnified in my body. This "pop" I felt was a "take my breath away" type of pain and my body reacted the best it could by briefly passing out. He really made me feel at ease too because I thought I was dying. He reassured me I was not and said it is all part of what adrenal deficiency does to a person. On top of it I have panic attacks, Bi-polar and fibromyalgia. That's okay, but if I know what is going on or happening in my body, I can deal a whole lot better with it. Don't you think that's true. I know my imagination takes me to where I think I am having a heart attack or I have cancer or something dreadful. Right now my body cannot handle much of any stress, physical or emotional right now. Unfortunately, I also react to medication or herbs sensitively so my treatment is sloowwww going. He is adding some DHEA this month. We'll see how it goes as I try to hang on daily. Thanks for writing. I really appreciate sharing with ones who truly understand.
