goodness me i dont even know where to start.... so last year I gave birth and shortly after found out my son had Down Syndrome. Not easy to accept but it got better each day and then unexpectedly he became blue and unresponsive one day and we rushed him to hospital to find he had a major heart condition. Long story short he was in hospital fighting for his health for 9 weeks between our local and Great Ormond street. it was devastating to say the least but survival mode kicks in and you just get on with it. As soon as we came home for the first time my health seemed to just deteriorate. I started to notice every now and then I felt a motion/movement. The only way i can explain it is the same motion when an elevator stops like the up and down motion??? This petrfied me and i started to notice it more and it brought on daily panic attacks!! fast forward 8 weeks and the dizziness/motion is still there daily and far more noticeable! the right side if my head feels heavier then the left, my right eye feels slower than the left and i have ear aches! My glands are sore, tension headaches, body aches, chest tightness! i cant concentrate its taking over my life. i had bloods taken and my vitamin d was low plus folate and iron so ive been taking replacements. I amconvinced i have a brain tumour because the motion feeling is just nothing ive ever experienced in my life!! i have had a CT scan of my head and it came back clear but i am now convinced they missed it! This is heartbreaking because its stopping me from enjoying my baby and my life. Has anyone ever had this feeling? i feel so defeated.
also my GP just keeps saying its anxiety and PTSD but ive had anxiety for years and NEVER had this motion dizzy feeling!
Elicia, that motion feeling is extremely common with stress and anxiety! any people on this site have expressed that they get that motion feeling a lot. I have had that numerous times. also I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had had pressure, ear pressure, and much more. stress and anxiety can cause all of the symptoms that you are experiencing. It can cause hundreds of symptoms. It if you had anything wrong it definitely would have been picked up by the CT scan. You are going through difficult times right now and it’s understandable that you’re having all these symptoms.
right now you need to focus on your health so that you can take care of your baby. He needs you to be healthy. You have gotten testing done which came out fine so accept that .
you may have convinced yourself that you have a brain tumor, but that’s not reality or fact. That is just anxiety producing negative thoughts.
anxiety symptoms can come and go. I still get them from time to time but I keep pushing on. as long as you’ve had a check up with your doctor, you’re OK.
be determined to not feel defeated! You are in control. Be a fighter for yourself and get tough with yourself. That’s what I had to do to get rid of the negative thoughts. Don’t fall victim to them because they ruin peoples lives. Press on and be determined to take care of yourself . eat healthy, get some exercise, do some meditation for anxiety on YouTube, get some counseling, smile, be positive and take care of that beautiful baby you have! 
This is such a blessing to wake up to! I am do grateful for your reply. To be honest it makes complete sense for my trauma to be the cause but when I am feeling something so physical and nothing like before, its hard to accept something sinister isnt going on. I feel like my GPs prob see my name and roll their eyes and now just tell me its anxiety even if it wasnt. All i want is to enjoy my beautiful baby and this consumes me! Yesterday I alot of plans to try and help me but I couldnt even get through cleaning my kitchen without having this motion feeling take over and lead to a panic attack 
thank you for your kind words
Hi Elisha, Your tests showed that you had some abnormal levels, which can cause symptoms, it can take a bit for the levels to get back up to and stay normal, so follow your DR advice…anxiety can make things worse, so you need to work on that, with PTSD, too, if your DR has advised medications, stick to those and if you dont have any or they dont work, discuss it with your DR…its their job to help you…if you don’t have a counsellor & support system, you need one!! It is not uncommon for Moms to become overwhelmed but, having a disabled child with medical issues is a whole different level, your baby is a gift from God, such a blessing but, it doesnt mean its easy or that you wont have difficult times, it doesn’t make you a failure as a Mom, it makes you a human being who loves and wants the best for her family…its clear you are doing your best…having a support system; allows you someone to give you a much needed break, gives you a place to vent, problem solve & a shoulder to cry on if you need it!! If you dont have one, start here, call your DR, get a referral if you need one…If you can get little breaks, time for yourself, it helps you focus and remember the important things…like spending time with your baby…everything else will get worked out eventually, dont be ashamed/afraid/embarrassed to ask for help…people cannot read your mind, tell them what you NEED… Sending HUGS, COMFORT & SUPPORT(ALSO PRAYERS) chat me up ANYTIME, you got this!! BEST WISHES:wedding:
