Hi all
I suffer with serve health anxiety to which I am currently undergoing CBT.
I was just wondering if anyone suffers with severe light-headedness and dizziness like I do. It's hard to explain, but just where your head feels weird for no apparent reason and you feel like you are going to fall or can't walk in a straight line.
Yes I am the same along with butterflies constantly in my stomach and all tense.. I am always tensing my foot and clinching my teeth
Yes, this also happens to me, it's been really sending my anxiety through the roof. Especially my health anxiety and the what ifs.......
Yes i do hannah, not so bad at home, but when i used to go out alone, it just used to happen and i was scared i was going to fall over, if someones with me, I still have a fuzzy feeling in my head, but not so dizzy, mine started a few months ago, and its horrible, makes me scared to go out alone
I am the same too.. 6 years ago I heard like a bang go off in my head while walking to a friend's house.. I tried calling them and a few other people and no one answered the phones.. I have been anxious to go out of the house since on my own or when I am with someone I don't like being out too long.. I had a pile of tests done and everything was normal doctor said i had anxiety and depression gave me a pile of meds to help but was too scared to take them and didn't want to rely on tablets thought I could try and beat it myself.. i was lying on the sofa for 3 months not wanting to go anywhere or do anything..I am not as bad as I was but when it does hit it hits me hard..
I get this every single day and I panic about it and it makes me worse I thought i had something wrong with me that I was going to die I’m glad iv found out that other people have it to I thought I was going crazy
Yep and its really starting to annoy me too! It’s like your head is in a dream world and your eyes feel fuzzy too..so annoying!x
Do you get it where this might sound silly but if you walk and turn quickly you feel abit dizzy and jumpy I also will just be standing there in work and I just get a rush of dizziness for no reason and I won’t be doing anything my concentration is really bad to
Hello,
I also suffer from the feeling of dizziness / light-headedness and brain fuzz (like a pressure in the head / not painful like a headache - it's strange to describe). By the end of the working day it literally feels like my balance is off in a dreamland state and worried of blacking out, by the time I get home after a couple of hours I begin to feel 'normal' ish again.
Have been to GP and nuerologist who have both found nothing wrong physically and am due for a head scan next week. I have also been recommended with a drug called 'Amitriptyline' if anyone has any experience of this ? It is very difficult and frustraing to describe these problems with other people as they just don't seem to understand. By the end of the day the 'head pressure' sensation I feel is horrible and am sorry for anyone else who is experiencing the same.
Can anyone else confirm this is down purely to stress / anxiety / depression ?
I totally understand I try and explain to people about it but no one understands me I think it is down to anxiety because the more I think about it the worse it gets and there’s days when I don’t have it then I think to myself I don’t have it and then I get it if that makes sense the mind is a strange thing I think coming in here though helps because other people are going through the same thing and makes me feel better because I think I’m not crazy then
Hi Molly,
I agree with your comment, our minds are incredibly powerful and no-one really understands fully how our sub-conscious is working. I find at weekends I have very little problem with the head pressure, but it is appalling during the week. I also found the comments here to useful and don't feel so alone with this problem that people don't seem to understand.
Am looking forward to end of working day Friday already, to get away from some of the work people and enviroment which i do not like.
Iv been writing down when I feel anxious and what I’m anxious about and everything is down to my health and thinking iv got something wrong with me but it’s just trying to make myself believe that it’s all in my head, but your not alone there’s so many people out there suffering with it I hope that you get better and know that there isn’t anything wrong with you that it is just down to anxiety
Ive had a bang in my head too, but its when im in bed, just before i fall asleep, wasent sure if it was in the room or in my head, but now your saying that it may be the same mary,
