I am a 41 year old male. I suffer from occasional anxiety attacks, severe seasonal allergies, slightly high cholesterol, and GERD. Medications are .5mg clonazepam as needed when panic attack occurs, Allegra for allergies as needed, simvastatin 20mg 1x daily and lansoprazole 30mg 1x daily. Other than that, fairly healthy.

Last night I was lying in bed in a hotel with my ipad on my chest answering emails. I looked away from the ipad and than when I looked back I felt very dizzy (almost like my eyes were crossed) and felt very dizzy like I was spinning. This only happened for about 2 seconds. Then, of course, because I didn't know what had happened, the anxiety set in. Prior to lying down, I had eaten a very poor, fat-ladened, heavy fried meal for dinner and when to bed soon after. Interestingly, this same thing happened about 5 weeks ago. On the road for work, ate a late and unusually poor meal, went to bed and worked on ipad and felt the exact same feeling for a couple of seconds.

Could this be linked to the fried, fattening, sodium-laced food? Could it be due to the way I was laying with my chin at my chest? Panic attack unlike one I have ever experienced?

My biggest concern is that it's a heart issue or some type of seizure that I don't want to walk around worrying if its going to happen again. I am due for my annual physical in a month, but just had mid year blood work about 5 months ago and everything was normal.

Thank you.
