Hi Elaine
Anxiety sucks and there are many many symptoms.
If you have not been checked by doc yet then do so, once you know for sure your symptoms are psychosomatic then the anxiety can be treated.
I personally have had depression for many years manageable with medication, my anxiety only started in December, I went to and e twice thinking I am having a heart attack/stroke,
Elaine, most headaches don't indicate a brain tumor so hope you can relax about it.
Vision problems, difficulty in speaking and seizures are some symptoms that occur for people who might have this, and you don't seem to be experiencing these.
Get a checkup with the doctor to relieve your anxiety, and I'm sure they'll suggest a simple remedy. Hope this helps.
When I was on Zoloft I felt very off balance and weak so I stopped taking it I'm trying to beat this on my own I'm taking a multi vitamin and I don't feel as bad it's just the dang derealization it's annoying and scary but I'm trying to push through
Sorry Elaine my computer keeps freezing and I didnt finish my message
Meds CBT exercise all help
Your not alone stay strong
thanx lynne certainly try anyway. i dont have trouble ŕeaking or seizurer. but my vision problem in my right eye ir due to a vitreous hemorage h had last year and the blood still hasnt cleared up causing a little blurry vision im also on cozaar for hbp maybe thats causing symptons plus my depression
Hi elaine,Like you I have sufferd anxity all my life ,I can relate with the constant dizziness and headaches and it all boils down to health anxiety mine reached a peak after getting labrynthitus, so I was put on mirtazapine which helped the headaches caused with stress but I still have the dizziness and can relate to how you feel ,I was given a cat scan which proved ok,to put your mind at rest I would ask doctor for a brain scan ,do you have medication for your anxiety ?
hi nezza mine too got worse after what the doc said was labyrinitis. the stress and worsy caused physiäl symptoms as soon as 1 disapeared another 1 appeared. i googled my symptons and up came accoustic neuroma things got worse after that. cos im thinking about them 24/7 asa i wake up in the morn theyre there. i was given citalopram but the side effects were terrible i went to an ent was given an audiogram where anything sinister was ruled out. ive also got tinnitus in my right ear and sometimes i feel a little off balance
Hi there
You sound just like me. I get constant dizziness and feel off balance. I have had many ear infections and the amount of times I have been convinced of a brain tumour is crazy! I have had tests and I am fine. But honestly... You r ok. Pm me if u wanna talk
hello thank you for reassuring me its nothïng sinister. deep down i know it isnt but the thought is stuck somewhere at the back of my mind and i jus cant get rid of it. apart from the off balance feeling have u ever felt spaced out at times?
Hi again Elaine
No problem. The feeling of being spaced out/disorientated/not real is another reason why I cant leave my flat. I have a huge fear of fainting because of all this crap.
Your not alone in this. The feeling of being spaced out is really common with anxiety, especially when you really think about it. Do you have any techniques when this happens?

Yes elaine,I found out it,s down to hyperventilating when you are feeling anxious ,what I do is lie down and take deep breaths and breath out slowly and you will find that it will relax you and slow your heart rate,I have bad palpitations at times and it works for me, I dont know how many times I have been to A@E thinking I,m having a heart attack and ecg was normal, anxiety is a horrible illness ,I have health anxiety and long standing depression,you can have all kinds of thoughts going through your mind but they are only thoughts , .I hope things get easier for you elaine and I really understand about the dizziness but it will eventually go
take care neil
Very much sounds like panic attacks. You are not alone at all. Any ailment triggers panic attacks. Vertigo hands down will trigger a panic attack. Use ginger. Eat candied ginger as snack regularly. Youll get used to the taste. Well worth it.
If you have a juicer juice an inch of peeled ginger with a green apple and three stalks of celery ..drink it right after you make it. It will ease dizziness nicely. Straight up celerly juice 8oz. Fresh..calms nerves as well. Half a cup chopped fresh basil calm the nerves. Bananas and avacadoes very very good to eat too. Bananas and avacodoes cant be juiced just eat them. It doesnt sound like a tumor at all. Its sounds very much like a panic attack.
Whoosh yeah man I can relate like big time. See here's my situation ok I've just recently gotten involved with this disabled veteran right and he's says that he is HIV NEGATIVE. I mean he's a very candid and sweet individual and was very open to showing me all of his disabilities and illnesses. That's one main reason why I'm in a way not worried but Im scared scared and it's driving me crazy! I mean ok he's not retired he's just disabled and he stillness goes to PT ONCE A month. He told me that if he ever contracted HIV then he wouldn't be able to PT anymore. Is this true? And also he's has frequent doctors appointments to maintain that disability pension or check that he receives. But I'm scared that these frequent doctor visits are due to something a bit more serious than what he proclaims because I know that HIV could cause a plethora of problems and illnesses in the body and it's really starting to freak me out. I mean I don't want to run the man off for being obsessively checking as yo ear my health always asking him questions because I like him. However, I don't like him that much that I'm willing to put my life at risk. Idk is there anyone out there that's in the military that's knowledgeable of this subject, that could possibly help me foster a peace of mind because I swear, I feel like I'm going to snap in any minute now! I feel like now my anxiety is getting worse than usual. Like what should I do?
i also get bad morning anxiety i dread waking up in the morning to face the day i reały look forward to nightime. honestly i want to be alone sometimes to cry
HI does everyone on this forum have labyrinitis? Or however you spell it? Just curious if you are dizzy all the time like on a boat feeling 24/7. And does balance teatif help show if you have this disease?
