Chicos, ya he hablado de esto antes, pero en los últimos dos meses mi vida ha cambiado por completo. Me mareo o me siento mareado todos los días, especialmente al conducir, lo que me impide ir a lugares demasiado lejos. Tengo trastorno de ansiedad desde los 16 años y he lidiado con todos los síntomas, pero nunca antes había tenido un síntoma que durara todo el día. Además, me hace sentir muy cansada y con miedo de hacer las cosas divertidas que solía hacer porque no sé cómo me sentiré. Bueno, después de muchas pruebas y análisis de sangre que salieron normales, lo redujeron a que solo es mi ansiedad. Aumentaron mi medicación, que es Zoloft, y me dieron klonipion, lo que parece ayudar un poco. Solo que me cuesta mucho creer que esto sea ansiedad por lo mucho que me está afectando y por tanto tiempo, así que empecé a pensar que podría ser por mis implantes de senos que me puse hace seis meses. Sé que esto es parte de la ansiedad pensar en cualquier enfermedad, pero ¿alguien ha tenido esto antes por su ansiedad? Quiero decir, literalmente ha tomado el control de mi vida. Por favor, comparten su opinión/experiencia.
Hi
Sounds like anxiety. Anxiety sucks quite honestly. I've had it for many years, I was just diagnosed with migraine associated vertigo, it's a constant dizziness from silent migraines. My anxiety came back when the dizziness started and it got horribly bad for 6 months. I do know I get dizzy and lightheaded when I drive and I get the felling like I can't swallow, which is awful cause when you feel like you can't swallow you feel like you can't breath. But I know the dizziness when I drive is just fear, you know those "what if thoughts". Please try to remember you've been given a clean bill of health, so your body is fine it's your brain that is tricking you. Anxiety is hard but the key is to start retraining your scared mind, the problem with anxiety is effects the amygdala in the brain the part that remembers fear, so with little steps you retrain the brain to remember your ok. I found with my dizziness as bad as it gets on days I just try to keep going, telling myself I'm ok it's just anxiety. I know it's hard to believe this is anxiety. I thought for years they have missed something but everytime I get sick the anxiety comes back. I also realized when I took my Xanax it went away that's when I knew it was anxiety.
You said you have kolonapin if it helps when you take it, remember that's a good indicator it's anxiety. I'm now on propranolo for my migraine dizziness and it's helping my anxiety so I'm calming down about the dizziness and that's really helped. Anxiety makes everything worse.
Try to remember when your driving, first learn breathing exercises so your can do them when driving and that your dizzy because your worried about being dizzy. Take small steps to face the anxiety and make it hatred for it to control you. I know you can do it. I hope you feel better.
Oh if you been on the Zoloft for months and you don't feel it's helping maybe try another med and ask the doc for a referral to a psychologist or find one yourself. Talking about it with one is very helpful.
Gracias por responder, excelentes consejos, me alegra saber que no estoy sola o simplemente loca
Your def not alone and your not crazy. Anxiety will make you crazy tho. I read a great book about how the worry tricks you. It's called The Worry Trick. It's very helpful.
I get dizzy all the time too! Even before I ever got anxiety. Started when I turned my head orgy to make a turn while driving. Then I noticed when I put my finger inside my left ear and wiggle it around, my vision would shift making me dizzy. They told me at the ER that I had Vertigo and gave me antivert. It's not constant dizziness, it just comes and goes . Before I eat, when I talk, when I'm driving it walking. When I'm sitting down. Vertigo doesn't show up in blood work, it's not a disease. It's a problem inside the ear canal. You should go see an ENT or ask your doctor. Good luck.
