Hello, I'm Justin

So for days now I've been going back and forth to the hospital due to, chest pain, headaches , dizzy, confusion, hands feel cold and wet/ feet to. Also very on edge and quick to snap someone head off. I'm consistently tired when I should be. Been having dental work done and had teeth pulled, but I had it pulled two weeks ago and didn't think anything of it, tell I would be talking with parents (who don't believe me) and I would space out and would respond in my head and take me a few sec to come out my mouth . Now the things is I used meth but have stop cuz parents thought I was always high and I wasn't but was honest with them if I was and they ask I also smoke cigarettes and after smoking I smell this ronchy smell and they think it's meth, when I believe it could be the bacteria?

So parents wanted me to go get mental evaluation cuz I hearing things and cuz of confusion and cuz i have evil looks on my face and I'm not moving a muscle ??

Yours sounds like a complicated case. You need a knowledgeable, compassionate doctor (and probably a therapist. Are you hearing noises or voices in your head?). I am not a doctor. Some of your symptoms sound like meningitis, but they are also common in other head-related problems. Perhaps something happened when the dentist was working on you. You might try seeing a good chiropractor as well. This sounds like you're going to need several doctors to help you. (By the way, you posted this twice.) Good luck.

The disks may be an issue. I would ask around for a good chiropractor. I wish I had gotten a second opinion when I first got sick instead of waiting for them to shuffle me through the system. Also, maybe think about (and write down) what was different--physically and mentally--before and after seeing the dentist. I had back problems in my twenties and the chiropractor suggested I give up smoking. One of the better decisions of my life. But it's good to have support for that for several months or longer. It's not easy.

I’m wondering if you have developed an infection from having the teeth pulled. I think a doctor visit is definitely in order. Good luck to you.

Yes. I would push them to look into this.
