so this morning i went shopping, within 5 mins of being in the shop i felt really lightheaded and nauseaous. i did what i needed to do and came home. ive felt the same all day and completley exhausted. my question is could this be anxiety or is it something else....im inclined to think theres something else going on as surely anxiety can not make you feel like this all day. i know it might so strange but i feel like i could close my eyes and just slip away. i feel like im fighting a loosing battle and just fee so weak. i was diagnosed with severe health anxiety and ptsd last week but im struggling to beilieve that this constant dizziness, feeling like im gonna throw up and exhaustion can be because of that as currently i dont actually feel anxious
HI Suzanne,
have your doctor do a thyroid test and hormone blood test.
i feel the same as you always. no dr is taking me seriously and just puts everuthing down to anxiety. i had constant chest pain for months and that resolved now im heading migraines and bad sinus pressure. not sure how anxiety could cause that
i feel lightheaded and nauseous too
hi Suzanne…as I was reading your post I was suddenly “thrown back” to when I had my FIRST panic attack!
I was shopping (and having a good time, I might add) pushing my cart up and down the isle. the cart was quite full of items, when all of a sudden, out of NO WHERE, I “froze” in my step, felt lightheaded and dizzy, sweaty and nauseated and like I thought I was gonna jump outta my skin!! I had NO IDEA what was happening to me, but I was
SCARED!!
I Literally left my full cart in the isle and hurried myself out to my car where I sat for 20m and just shook and cried!
fortunately, at the time I’d been seeing a neurologist for headaches. He and I had a great repore, so I hussled over to his office!
after giving me a quick checking over and asking a bunch of questions…he looked at me and said
“congratulations Lynda, you just had your 1st full blown panic attack!”
I was both relieved and upset as I wondered if this was a sign of what was to come in the future. it was!!
Anyway, my point to you is the mind/body can do Crazy things to us…things we could never imagine (much less expect).
I’m not a doctor, but based on my personal experience, I’d chalk up what you’re feeling to ANXIETY!
maybe give your doc a call tomorrow and let him know what’s goin on.
sending you good thoughts.
please let me know how you’re doin!
Hi Suazanne, I g,ot up this morning and felt good, no anxiety,or light head, so I decided to go shopping, as I have a wedding next week. my husband took me, as I dont drive..when we got out of the car, at the shopping centre, my Hubby went to get a parking ticket…and Bam…my legs went like jelly, my head got dizzy, and my vision got blurry, I had to link him inside, and hold on to him to walk, needless to say, I got no shopping done…I cried all the way home…as soon as I got home, I felt calmer, and could walk on my own…I am telling you this because I know it is Anxiety, I have it for 25 years. it is the worst thing to have, and im sorry you are suffering, just to let you know, you are not alone, with these feelings…take care xx
hi mariano…it’s SO true! Anxiety can be such a B***h!
it hits you from nowhere, without rhyme or reason…and you really have no say!
ughhh…
