I had to pull over on the highway yesterday. I had intense pressure in my temples. It felt like I was getting squeezed with a vice. It was two distinct back to back episodes and although they each only lasted a few seconds they left me slightly...

Lock your gun cupboard and relax, don’t go to work....

@LikeMind I knew this was bad! Now I have to go buy a gun cabinet?

i don't wanna give you health advice, but my first thought was migraine. i think everything but the chest pressure sounds like that, but with your history you know you should report this to your doctor, even if it never happens again. it could be anything, or nothing serious. it's hard to know. but you're right, you should keep your stress about it in check. chances are, you're okay, if it was transient. just get some peace of mind by consulting your doc.

@trackman11 there are all types of migraines, and this is the time of year when they are most prevalent, be it spring or fall. i was thinking the chest pressure was a mini-anxiety reaction to the pain and nausea, because you were driving. but it's best analyzed by a professional. i would just take good care until then, by you know... staying hydrated, and eating regularly, and resting adequately.

@pentacorn thank you. I didn’t know that about migraines but whether that’s it or not it gives me something to talk about rather than trying to describe this.
Have a great night and I do appreciate your time and words.

😳scary!
If it happens again....definitely get it checked out

Or maybe even share this with someone close.....just so someone is aware

I did the latter. I had to ask someone else to drive. I blamed it on vertigo because it’s hard to describe. I will check it out if it happens again. Thanks for the advice. 😀@Happymedium

Could have been a type of seizure.

trackman11 · 61-69, M

@Smart23 I’ve never had a seizure so don’t know what it would be like. I didn’t black out but had a few seconds of inability to do much. If it happens again I have good access to my doctor.
