Hi.
After a few months of abdominal pain and odd bowel movements I have been diagnosed with Crohn's, fortunately I think towards the mild end of the spectrum. As I have only just found about it I am only beginning to take real notice of it and am delighted to find this forum. As well as the more "traditional" symptoms I have noticed some other changes and was wondering if these concurred with anyone else's experience.

At times, usually when I am not actively doing something, just sitting around, I notice myself feeling slightly dislocated, as if a slight fuzz has come over me. Usually I can snap out of it but on a couple of occasions it has got worse and I have felt a very unpleasant tingle/rush come over me and my heart starts beating very heavily, but not really faster. When this passes I then shiver for ages. This got me so worried and felt so odd one night I went to A+E as I felt sure something serious was going to happen. I have had wide ranging bloods done and all were clear and this has happened before I began any meds (hydrocortisone and mesalasine) so I have begun thinking it must be as a result of.the Crohn's. Does this sound familiar to anyone? At the moment these episodes are a real worry.
Thanks for listening.

Hello irishrob and welcome to the Crohn's forum.

I have not personally had the symptoms you speak of
but perhaps others here can relate to what you are saying.

Crohn's brings with it a plethora of symptoms
and each person it seems has different ones to cope with.

Make yourself at home...
Best wishes~Nancy

Welcome irishrobmorris,

I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Crohn's but am glad it is just a mild case.

Like Nancy I have not had that symptom myself, but that does not mean it is not IBD related. I have a twin who also has Crohn's and we literally had the exact opposite symptoms.

Hope you enjoy your time on the forum!

Greetings and welcome

Have you discussed these symptoms with your doctor? In many ways, they seem to sound like anxiety/panic attack but I think it's always a good idea to bring such feelings to the attention of your doctor.

I'm sorry you've been diagnosed with Crohns, but we're here for you anytime. I look forward to seeing you around the forum

All my best to you!
