Yeah, I got the same fillings. It scares the hell out of me. I have had them for 3 years now. They come and go. One day here or one day gone. I keep thinking its throat cancer. Because I have a tightness around my neck near my adams apple, trouble swallowing, and feel like I got a pain in my throat. Not much pain. It just feels like when I get these symptoms, I have have a bad infection or something. Almost sick and sore. Oh and I understand the flutter through the neck. Feels like a weird muscle spasim. That is where I start panicing by the way. Though all this has went down I have not seen a doctor about it. I'm to afaid to here what has got to say!

I stopped dipping one and a half years ago. I keep thinking that was the cause. Oh, and not to mention the huge weed habit I use to have. I thought that also had a hand in to it. Or at least the reason why I was noid. Some people have told me though. They smoked it and had the same feeling. Turns out they had no symptoms before, but later became elergic to pot. Made them feel tight in throat, dry mouth, and sore in the neck. Not to mention they were high so they would start to panic and get worse. This gave me a reason to stop that to, but still I get that feeling sometimes...........I have no F--king clue what to do! Sad

I too, have had these feelings. 2 years ago it started while at work (desk job) where i started with a very very mild headache....then my hands and feet started to get hot and sweaty. A few seconds later this "shock" ran through me for a few seconds....immeditiately afterwards my hands went very cold, I was a bit lightheaded and felt very weak. Also when this happened my hands appeared very pale, and like they were in water for a long time. My hearing was strange too....felt like i was outside of myself. I have to say the entire feeling was so freaky, I thought I was going to have a seizure or heart attack or stroke. On a few of these occasions I even smelt wierd things like a match being lit (thats why i thought seizure or epilipsy or something). That hasn't happened again thank god!

The flutter thing continued to happen intermittently for 2 years. I went to a neurologist, cardiologist, had an CT scan and nothing was found. I even wore a heart holster for 2 days! And then it just went away. It miraculously never happened again until last week.

Sitting at my daughters music recital...same thing...except this time i felt my face tighten up even more and felt weakness in my right arm... even my face felt a bit numb. This has been happening almost daily since but not as bad as the first reoccurence last week. I found a better term for the feeling -- FLUTTER -- thus found this thread where others had similar symptoms. Could this be hormonal?? If anyone else knows what might be going on with me, please post!
