Subject: What is the medical term for this sensation?
Dear Netters:
Maybe one of you can explain this. From time to time I experience
a strange kind of feeling (I have all kinds of weird feelings) which
can be best described as the feeling of "losing gravity", like that one
experiences in a descending elevator. Needless to say, it is not
enjoyable. It sometimes comes with shortness of breath and extreme
fatigue. It lasts from a few minutes to an hour and when it lasts
that long, it makes me sweatening.
Initially I called it "palpitation (spelling?)" until I later learnt that
the terminology has been reserved for the self-awareness of heart beats.
So, is there a specific term for this feeling, or am I a stragne person?
I always believe I am unique.
Thanks.
