numbness

For the past few months I've been having some really scary feelings. They usually start when I'm stressed or too hot or something like that. I've had 2 really serious ones where parts of my body have gone totally numb and I feel faint.
The first time it happened was when I was shopping and my leg seized up and then went totally numb. My face went really hot and I felt like I was going to faint. I went outside and rested but the feeling didnt return to my leg straightaway, it felt really heavy and it was hard for me to walk.

The second time (a few months later) I was at college and one of my arms went completely heavy and numb. It was completely out of the blue and I had to be sent home. I was scared of it happening again and I went to the doctor who said he didnt know what it is, maybe just stress or a migraine that shows itself in ways besides a headache...but that sounds a bit vague to me.

My fingers are always really cold and if I have my hand in the air for a few minutes, it starts to go numb. I really dont know whats going on. I have a hospital appointment for August but I'm really scared about what it could be. What should I do and has anyone else ever experienced this?

sounds like it could be a migraine to me. when i get a migraine, parts of my body go completely numb, but only on one side. do you get any sort of headache?
