my husband and i were arguing then he stopped talking and kept mouthing words then collapsed and his pupils dilated and his hands cramped up, was this a panic attack?

Question

I felt like maybe i was having panic attack at first. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. Arms, hands and face went numb. My mouth and hands both contracted to the point that i was barely able to use them.

Answer 1

Tell me more: How is he now? It could at least be some type of reaction to the stress of the argument. If he recovered quickly without any further problem then maybe it was. But either way, you should cut the poor guy some slack. Well that's my opinion anyway.

Answer 2

STROKE OR TIA: Maybe panic attack but sounds like it may have been a stoke or mini-stroke or tia(transient ischemic accident). Did he recover immediately afterwords or what happened. Need some more follow up information but i would definitely speak with you doctor.

Answer 3

Have it checked: It's best to he a vascular ultrasound to rule out a popliteal aneurysm or an avm.

Answer 4

Popliteal aneurysm : The only pulsating object in proximity to the knee is the popliteal artery. Usually this is not easily felt. If it is then it may need further evaluation with an ultrasound, especially if you have a history of other aneurysms.

Answer 5

Unsure: I suspect that you need to see a vascular specialist as this is not normal and needs to be further evaluated.

Answer 6

Get checked: Ultrasound will give answer usually. Easy test.

Answer 7

??signs??: Kids capable of waking off an injury will, they are more interested in playing & seldom stop unless something really hurts. If no obvious deformity or discoloration of the skin, you might watch it for a while & place a cool compress to help the pain & reduce the swelling. Do this only if the kid can make a fist & extend it & roll the hand back & forth. If not, get it checked now.

Answer 8

You can but caution: Oxycodone, often given in combo with Acetaminophen (tylenol (acetaminophen)) and generally known as Percocet for pain control in situation such as dental extraction here. The tylenol (acetaminophen) should help with fever, but may not be enough (often 325mg). So, you can add another plain tylenol (acetaminophen) 325mg or motrin, but must monitor closely as infection is a concern and follow-up with the dentist is recommended. Good luck.

Answer 9

Yes , however : Fever is usually a sign of infection , Motrin can reduce the fever but won't treat the cause of it.

Answer 10

Yes : Motrin will help but make sure he is sufficiently hydrated by drinking lots of water. Dehydration is a very common cause of elevated temperature after oral surgery.

Answer 11

Yes: By all means, but don't give him tylenol (acetaminophen). Vicodin contains tylenol (acetaminophen).

Answer 12

Mucocele possibly: The bump on the side of your mouth might be a mucocele. It is a clear bump filled with salvia. Caused when the duct to a minor salivary gland gets clogged and the saliva backs up. Most common on the lower lip but can occur elsewhere in the mouth. Ussually resolve on their own. Some times large ones require surgical removal. Bumps on the back of your tongue are probably normal vallate taste buds.

Answer 13

Mucocele?: If it is on your cheek it might be a blocked or clogged salivary gland duct and the blister is just the fluid not having a duct to let it out. Saee your dentist or ENT to make sure.

Answer 14

Sleep disorder: Classically myoclonic jerks are a type of rare seizure disorder, these are rare in adults. And its true that a lot of seizures happen upon waking or going to sleep. You may have a sleep disorder that explains this better. It would be wise to have a sleep study to be sure and there are treatment for these as well.

Answer 15

Unlikely: This explanation is somewhat simplistic but these can occur as we fall asleep with our conscious brain does a "disconnect " from our body there is an involuntary response with the body's muscles contracting. It is not anything bad with the scenario described.
