Hi I hope someone can explain this or has experienced it. I was pretty restless today I know from anxiety. I decided to go for a ride to forget about it then out of nowhere, felt like a rush or surge in my head for a second then I felt almost like fear or frozen like feeling,for a second pushed through it but then my head felt funny and I got little shakey, now I,m anxious because I don,t know what happened!!! About 5 min before that I did get a flash. Does anyone get this feeling what happened to me?? Thanks

I have had this,it comes before a hot flash or after waking up with an adrenaline rush.Just take a few deep breaths after it happens and give yourself a bit more time to recover.GOD-bless

Hi "little lil" ... yes I have had this also. For me, however, it does not preceed any hot flash, i'll just be sitting there, or driving, (like you) and here we go! Yes, it IS very scary, and you think you're having a stroke! At least i did....it has happened a number of times now, so, it must be hormonal. Actually, mine have been like yours, but WORSE ... so, to ME, yours didn't sound to bad...but, i know to YOU it was bad, and the fear from that alone can really get you .... not knowing what just happened to you! I knw how you feel, so remember, you're not alone!

two great words- power surge.......

I get that rush to the head thing when I have palpitations. Not every time, but when the heart feels like it skips a beat and then you get that thud. When the thud is hard, I get this fleeting rush to my head. It feels like adrenaline to me.

I get this alot also....no need to panic! I know you want to panic.....but try not to. I hate it when it happens when I am driving...that freaks me right out.

Thanks to everyone who replied has helped alot LOL

Count me in. I just had one of these about 2 hours ago. My head and shoulders get really tingly and tight and it feels like my head is expanding. Then the palps start up, and sometimes a hot flash comes after, but not always. Freaks me out BAD, especially the first time it happened, but I just try to tell myself it's some form of anxiety or peri and I'm not having a stroke.

I had weird head rushes before, mine felt like a tingling it scared me but now that i know its part of anxiety or menopause i don't worry bout it
