Yes, see the Neuro!!! That is NOT typical in my experience or from my reading. I really find it upsetting that you were sort of blown off too! You need an MRI to see what is going on up there in your noggin Runners. It will tell them more about what is going on. Please push for that appointment!! Also, were you on a non-rebreather mask breathing only pure O2 when you went out? I have huffed enough O2 on two occasions to nod off, but not from a cannula. That alone might be important. ATB!!!

Sorry buddy that's not good to read at all . I've heard of vomiting .I do during a bad attack ,but as for the rest buddy wow I'd get it checked out

Uff... It's always sad to see a Dr. being dismissive but unfortunately not surprising We are our best advocate when it comes to our health so I'm glad you are following up!

Thanks @Bejeeber and @BoscoPiko. Yes, had a CT and blood panel but nothing to report. The doctor and nursing staff suggested it was an anxiety attack but I’m skeptical - I’ve never suffered with anxiety before and having had CH for many years already, I’m not worried during attacks as I know they will resolve soon enough. Moreover, I don’t think I’d be capable of anxious thoughts as the pain is more or less the only thing you can think of. Overall, the doctor was quite dismissive because she said it couldn’t be a seizure if I was aware of what was happening and not a stroke or TIA because the CT was clear. I’m waiting for an appointment with a neurologist because I’m interested to see if they have any theories.

Wow this sounds down right awful! I can't say that I have experienced any of the symptoms but am curious if they ran any type of tests while at the hospital? These symptoms certainly seem to warrant some testing? The inability to speak or control your eyes and body parts sound a bit stroke like..

I'm not a doctor or nursing staff but that indeed sounds dismissive and just wrong.

Horrible. Really sorry to hear you got hit with this @RunnersHi. I can't say I recall others reporting such symptoms during a CH attack, and I'm with @BoscoPiko regarding whether they did some testing - CT, MRI or whatever might be done for such symptoms?
