My concern has turned to my brain (my heart was recently checked and cleared). I've been having difficulty focusing, and I've noticed a decline in my writing ability over the past month, or so. This decline could be attributed to my increased anxiety state, but rational explanations don't provide me with much solace.
I have this persistent foggy state. I feel like I'm sort of dizzy, but not, and very nervous. I had extensive bloodwork done, but it's been a while since I've had a brain scan. One feature of my anxiety is that it tends to shift and manifest in different ways. Once one fear is addressed, another seems to arise, and I'm wondering if that's not what's occuring here.
I'm wondering if I can hear what others have done to alleviate these symptoms (foggy headed/weird-head sensation, excitability, lack of focus). I find myself so preoccupied with these symptoms. I find that I'm generally fine upon waking up in the morning, but once I have a chance to catch my bearings, I start to go into that state.
My anxiety was present, but largely managed until about a few months ago now, there was a situation I took my meds for the day without eating (metoprolol and xanax), and then went for a run. After my run I noticed I felt very light headed and dizzy. I shouldn't have exercized after taking my meds and not eating (metoprolol er is to be taken with food). I quickly recovered, but this incident triggered non-stop anxiety in me since and I haven't been able to shake the sensations. I've been in the emergency room once, and had another visit with my GP. I want to get rid of this unstable sensation!
