i've been trying my best to not post on here but although its depressing when you guys say you have been through this..its a relief to hear im not alone. So for years now ive been feeling this dizziness. its on and off (months at a time) but it just keeps coming back. this lasts all day everyday no matter what i do. my only escape is sleep and now i have insomnia. so i now have no escape and i feel like im going to go crazy..i do also get vertigo. ive been getting it a lot recently and actually just went to an ENT who didn't help. I don't need help for the vertigo although its scary. i need help for the TERRIFYING everyday dizziness. i also have a weird spaced out feeling like im not here..hazy. these are so hard to describe but this is the best i can do. . i've been to countless doctors( i have very many other symptoms), but they won't give me the tests i want/need. they just keep telling me over and over its anxiety, sent me to a counselor (who looks at me like im stupid when i tell her my physical symptoms) and that i need to be on meds. im terrified of anxiety medicine but i also believe its not anxiety. i know i have some anxiety but i believe its because of the symptoms. can anxiety seriously cause this? i just don't understand how it can. it makes no sense to me..how can anxiety cause me to be dizzy ALL the time.? im mentally and physically exhausted playing this cat mouse game with my brain..
Wow I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. Of course, I don’t have the medical knowledge to say either way, but part of could believe the dizziness is from anxiety AND part of me could believe it’s totally separate! That probably doesn’t seem helpful, but I just hope you can find a doctor that listens to your concerns. If at some point you feel like you’ve given a Doctor (or two) all of your symptoms and you think you’ve communicated it clearly, you might want to consider believing what their conclusion is.
It sounds awful and exhausting what you’re going through and I hope that whatever it is, someone provides some relief for you.💙
Hi I have this and can empathise with you. It is horrible. You are not alone lease take comfort in that,.
Take care and keep strong. xx
Forget about doctors. You gave them a chance. Take all your medications to a trusted registered pharmacist who can evaluate them. Therein might lie your problem. That's how I solved mine.
Ive given like 6 or 7 doctors my symptoms 😔 they don't want to give me an MRI because they "don't see a red flag and I'm young so they don't want to put radiation in my body for no reason " its so frustrating and I'm tired thank you for your comment
it really is Im sorry you're going through it 😔💔 you can message me if you ever wanna talk
I don't take any meds at all..I'm too scared 😕 I don't even take Tylenol when I get headaches
Thank you, likewise.x
