Anxiety plus something!!

I woke up Saturday morning to do a day of weddings. Weddings are physically and mentally tiring but I enjoy doing them. It's fun and stressful in a good way. It pays well, and I would probably do it for a lot less . Anyways, I had a stomach in the morning. During the first wedding I felt just a weee bit nauseous...at the beginning of the ceremony I made a small mistake which caused my tongue to "tingle" and get that feeling as though a battery touched it...something that happens suddenly when I get stressed in a bad way without warning. Anyways, that feeling went away quickly, but so did my stomachache...so I was kinda happy. BUT it came back and I was feeling like I had a headache radiating up from my stomach. After 2 more morning weddings it was lunch time. I couldn't eat (Which is very unusual for me). During the second afternoon lesson this is what happened, as best as I can describe: A felt a wave of slight anxiety for no reason, then my tongue started to get that feeling, a warm yet uncomfortable feeling went off in my stomach and radiated up through my body down into my arms. Because I had experienced something similar last year I was able to manage the panic portion of it. For the rest of the day (Which was only one more wedding) I was fine as far as work went. When I got home I was WEAK...I mean, I didn't want to move. I couldn't fathom going to the store for dinner or anything. I just crashed on the sofa. When my wife called saying she was on her way home I almost didn't answer because I was so weak. I answered and go her to get me some sports drink because I couldn't eat. She took great care of me, massaged me, and did more than she had to do. I took my medicine to sleep, but it didn't work to well. I woke up Sunday (Today) and had no work. A felt much better, but still under the weather. I went out to take some pictures but I just couldn't get into a 'mood' to do anything.

When my wife got home today she had some questions regarding English. I had trouble understanding what she was asking and the stomach pain came back. I think I've done something to my stomach so it's off to the doctor tomorrow.

PS: Also seem to have canker sores...which I usually don't get.

I'm glad you're going to the doctor.

I have 3 family members with chronic daily migraine headaches and your symptoms sound very similar to what they go through. They will often get the stomach problem without the intense head pain. They are really weak after it happens for about a day. It might be something to consider with your doctor.

I will ask my doctor. I'm afraid all he will do is prescribe some stomach painkillers.

Because of the headaches I've always wondered if I took my valium a few hours earlier (I usually take it with my SSRI at dinner) if that would help relieve headaches. I know my doc will prescribe painkillers, but I'd rather stick to what I have instead of adding to it.
