12 weeks ago i started to feel a really strange motion feeling like an elevator drop or a bobbing every now and again that would happen with certain movements i made. after so many trips to the doctors and lots of meds for inner ear issues its getting worse and NOTHING works. I have had a CT scan of my head which was clear but i worry maybe it missed something! my right side of my head feels heavier than the left and even my right eye feels out of focus! My ears do feel full sometimes but no meds work. This is taking over my life! ive noticed that even talking now makes me feel dizzy like the vibration of my voice is making me dizzy and i know that sounds so crazy. I just want my life back! Please if anyone feels this or has felt this and got to the bottom of it let me know. I am so fed up of my doctor telling me its anxiety and normal because this def isnt normal to me!
it sounds like anxiety to me. i also have similar issues especially with my ears and the talking. anxiety can do crazy things to our bodies. maybe ask about anxiety meds?
can anxiety honestly cause such a physical symptom of dizziness i literally feel like i am moving when i am still? I really dont want to have antidepressants thats my very last option x
yes it can. i cannot drive at the moment because of how servere my dizziness is. its scary and awful ive started anti ds again though just waiting for them to kick in. have tried to get over it alone to no avail
im so sorry to hear that! how long have you been like this? have you had other tests to rule out other things? What other symtoms do you experience? sorry for all the questions i am laying in bed crying just feeling so defeated. i have a wonderful life i dont get to enjoy. i cant focus. i have daily panic attacks because of it. i also get tight chest and pains especially left side and left arm which makes me worry its my heart. i just want my life back katie x
hi katie. started december, ive had mri of brain done and nothing wrong at all, neuro said it is indeed stress related. the fact you have tight chest shows its all anxiety related too. neuro gave me pregabalin but it just made me insanely tired and too much chest tightness and felt like my throat was closing. so ive gone back to what i know works for me. ive tortured myself enough for months and as rubbish as i may feel now going through worsened anxirty due to side effects i know it needs to be done to claim my lifr back x
also my pains are always on the left. dont worry anxiety cant kill us.
i have very blurry vision dizzyness ears feel pressure and can hear myself speak. i an always swallowing too
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I feel like no one understands and everyone just puts it down to anxiety and doesnt take me seriously that this is a big issue especially my husband. He thinks hes being supprtive by telling me to go lay down but really i just feel like hes being dismissive. i feel alone. its really heart breaking. I wish i had the positivity you have. every day is such a battle x
im not positive when it comes to listening to my own advice. my husband doesnt understand at all
my husband just called the doctors and demanded i be seen and theyre going to see me tomorrow morning. He called me and said the way i describe the motion sensation doesnt fall under any medical condition he can think of whatsoever
try not to worry im sure therell be nothing wrong and it will be anxiety
i hear you and you are not alone. first calm yourself, try to breathe. it sounds like you have fluid in your ears from sinuses or allergies. this can throw your balance off and make you feel like there is fluid in your head. the way it makes you feel is probably anxiety mixed with a little frustration. if you dont like the way your GP is treating your symptoms and cant get to the bottom of whats going on, there are specialists, like an ear, nose and throat doctors who probably have seen your specific symptoms before and know how to fix you. depending where on the globe you live, pollen season has started and mold and dust are prevalent. if you are allergic to pollen, mold and/or dust whether you know it or not, it could be causing the fluid in your ears and head. my ears, nose and head fill up with fluid two times a year, spring and fall when the pollen and mold are most active. now i take perscription claritin to help with this but i still have problems with my ears. i believe if you seek an ear, nose and throat doctor, i believe you will find the relief you are looking for and deserve.
