Hey guys. Ive been dizzy with head pressure and off balanced for years now...recently my anxiety has been playing up bad and my doc ordered a ct scan back in October...it came back perfectly clear! My symptoms are the same and I cant stop thinking about a tumor...like what if they missed it!? Idk I just feel so spaced out...how can I accept that its not a tumor?? and could they have missed it though? help!
did you check cholesterol
what do you mean by head pressure i get that sometime but mines was messing with my ears like they felt full or like i was under water or something
Hi Chelsea,
Not that this helps, but you sound exactly like me :(. Head pressure (not painful, very difficult to describe - like a fog building in the head ?) off balance, dizzy and adrenaline rushes through the head - have had the all clear from an MRI scan but still think there must be something wrong. Is it down to my workplace with sitting behind a monitor a lot of the day or the bright lighting ? Have also experienced these problems outside with vertigo for no apparent reason - is this stress / anxiety causing the problem ? Wish I knew the answer…
I have had problems in life with losing close family members am generally unhappy at work and cannot stand some of the people there who I am surrounded by - maybe this has more of an effect on me than I thought possible ?
This problem is really horrible, sympathies - hopefully we can find a solution
- Hi Chelsea,
- You can’t move on and stop worrying bc you have health anxiety. That’s exactly what the def of health anxiety is, having irrational worries and fears about your health. So it sounds like your hitting the nail on the head with that haha.
- I too went through a very similar situation and symptoms. I had an MRI done and unlike u, once my results came back normal, I was able to calm down luckily and the symptoms left. BUT my health anxiety has not lessened, only that particular one lol. Instead of the tumor fear now I’ve switched to heart issues and lymphoma fear. So you just seem to be stuck on the one particular symptom, where I’ve branched out haha. Either way both of us are still suffering health anxiety =(
- I see a therapist for mine and it does help me a lot. She does a lot of rationalizing with me and my health fears, and it does help me in not getting so worked up/nervous. Have you tried seeing someone for urs?
Not seeing anyone yet! i have an appt with a psychiatrist in December so maybe I can start to get help
Idk my head just feels heavy. I really don’t feel anything wrong with my ears.
I am sorry you go through this too. I just feel so spaced out…like I’m on drugs or something but im not…
can u explain your head pressure i get them too. mines more like my brain is like its being constricted
well its like my head just feels heavy really. Like my brain is being squeezed!
Hello, please make an update on your health condition, did u find out what it was?
it’s normal to be concerned about your health, but excessive worrying can lead to increased anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, or if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to consult a medical professional.
