Hi.
Just over 3 months ago i woke up one day feeling a little dizzy.
This carried on for a few days so i thought i should get to the doctors. I was told they thought it was Labyrinthitus and said it should clear up. It didnt 
So i went back a few weeks later when they took bloods from me and checked for loads of different things. I was also feeling tired and just not with it. Everything came back fine with the blood test, Blood pressure was fine. Too add i was getting frequent mild headaches. i've always been someone thats suffered from headaches but it was now becoming more often.
So i went back to the docs who said it could be stress / anxiety related. He came to this conclusion as my wife had a miscarriage earlier in the year but around the time this all started she became pregnant again. 
He said wait until we had the 1st scan and see if that helps. Although there was some relief when the scan was fine i was still feeling tired, foggy head / dizzy and getting headaches.
So i thought maybe the christmas break would help. It didnt, so i went back to the docs this week and we talked about things. Although most people i know would say im a positive person I've always been a person to worry about things. My Job, Money, the pregnancy, life in general, And i always seem to think about these things when going to sleep. I always seem to think negative rather than look forward and be positive.
The doctor says none my symptoms seem to be anything serious and after answering some specific questions around Anxiety and depression he suggested talking therepy. (The results said i had mild anxiety) I agreed and now await my appointment.
I'd like to know what others think and if you have had something similar and did the therepy help. The headaches are really bothering me and just hope talking will put me in a better place and help sort them out.
just to add to this. I never thought i was feeling anxious but when we spoke about it does kind of make sense.
You are identical to me!!! I got diagnosed with labyrinthitus a few years back. Then 6 weeks ago started feeling dizzy and funny. I had bloods etc - all came back fine! Sometimes I feel totally not with it. My bowel movements are bad too and I get a head ache nearly every day! Pain under left rib cage too
My dizzyness might not even be dizzyness.. Its just my head doesnt feel right.. I never feel like im gonna fall over or anything.
My bowel is fine and im eating as normal. God damm headaches! Have you had your eyes tested? I did and now need glasses for computer use but they are so mild i dont really notice anything.
The headaches are tension headaches due to tension and stress, I get them, your emotions sound like they have been up and down, labyrinthitis can't take weeks or even months to clear, you can get so many symptoms wit anxiety, I have look on "nhs choices" and put anxiety in and the symptoms you are describing are all on there and that might make you feel better reading them, congratulations on being a dad xx
Yes this is familiar! I have always been a little highly strung and worry about things and have always had to keep an eye on it, and depression occassionally. I had my first panic attack at 21 and i am 46 but they havent plagued me constantly just once in a blue moon. I have suffered with dizziness also for a few years now and always thought it was a low blood sugar issue... Recently i had a severe bout of anxiety and depression triggered by a serious brush with death and whilst i thought i had coped very well, it caught up with me and brought me to my knees! After years of no doctor ever mentioning anxiety i was referred for therapy and diagnosed with panic disorder and health anxiety.... It sounds bizarre but i had been in denial all these years! Now i know i'm not going to keel over and die, the CBT was very helpful for me and i have been on antidepressants for about 5 months now with no plans to come off them as they are very good for me. The point i want to make is there is light at the end of the tunnel, therapy is very helpful if you go in with an open mind and you learn the cold hard facts of why your body reacts the way it does to certain triggers.... It takes the fear out of it. Life is hard for us all and when it gets a little too much our bodies react which is what they are designed to do but some of us need a little bit of extra support to get better.... Good luck!
I get that all the tine it's like your not even there a cotton wool experience as they have called it, when you first of aware of anxiety your outlook changes and you become more aware of things it's a weird feel bur unfortunately that's what happens x
Anxiety and stress are the worst things to cause IBS some people it affects and some it doesn't lol pain isn't it x
I get "dizzy" all the time. I think I'm having a stroke or something. I will go into the store and feel like I'm in an absolute fog. It sounds silly, but I will walk on the straight lines of my tile floor all the time to be sure I am well balanced. Knock on wood, but it ain't killed me yet. I started therapy. Subconscious triggers are super interesting. I've learned a lot from my therapist, though I still need my medicine. For instance, I feel like I'm choking sometimes and we dug into my childhood and I remembered watching my dad and granddad in a fight once and my dad had his hands around his throat. I was 7 but I will never forget that day. Therapist thinks it's definitely a subconscious trigger.
All. Quite a good day today, Was totally knackered when i woke up but after being at work for an hour i felt better. No headache today either except a few weird sensations around my head. Now looking forward to the weekend.
Just one question, You guys that have anxiety, did you realise you had it when you found out? I didnt think i did, well not really but always knew i was a worrier.
Interrested to hear yr answers.
