Mental health

Hi, my name is Ryan I’m new to posting on a forum board but I’m in serious need of some help

2 weeks back it all started when I had a pain in my back and it all set of due to a pain in my back and it set of my anxiety thought I had something wrong with my lungs because of where the pain is, 

Long story short I’ve been to A&E 3 times had blood tests, ekg and so on, 

But for the last 4 days I’ve been lightheaded for the whole day happens 2 hours after I wake up and it just worries me that somethings wrong and they have missed something?

Anyone on here experienced lightheadedness for days just due to anxiety ? 

Any help would be great!

Ps I’m 22 year old Male from Scotland

Hey man. Yeah I use to feel light headed when I had anxiety. I use to have severe health anxiety and depression. If you've had tests etc done and the doctor says you're fine you are. I know your mind says otherwise. I'm from England btw. If you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here my dude, stay positive mate

Yes!! My I have been so light headed for the past couple of days. I’ve seen 3 cardiologists and an electrophysiologist and they all say I’m fine but I get so dizzy that I feel like I’m going into cardiac arrest

Hi Ryan, try not to worry mate. As everyone else had said the brain is so powerful. I've suffered with anxiety for 12 years now. The light headed bit is so horrible. To me it feels like I'm not here!! Like I'm floating!! Hang in there mate...

ive benn feeling dizzy and lightheaded for two weeks now i know its scary

Hello mate yeah that was my most recent symptom and trust me I’ve had them all. I would wake up and the room would be spinning until I got up and it went back normalish as the day went on but was more of lightheaded like you say and more of a spinning sensation in my head. I’ve been and had every test done and results have come back fine and doctor said it’s due to my health anxiety as I thought it was vertigo. I started taking Ashwagandha 1 a day and the symptoms have gradually worn off now. This was happening for 2 and half weeks every day.

I have been going through this the past few weeks. 

Started one night when I didn’t feel well. Convinced myself that something was wrong, couldn’t breathe, shaking, dizzy, light headed, weak. 

I have had every test imaginable done. Including blood and stool

 Everything came back clear. 

It’s crazy to think that our brains can cause our body so much distress and more anxiety. But I have slowly come to terms that it is only anxiety. And I should be thankful for that. 

Anxiety is something you can fix on your own. Whether it be cbt or medication. 

There is a fix.

Yes mate, until I started taking setraline I would walk around constantly in a daze and fear falling over cuz I was so light headed.

Stay positive and keep yourself busy

have you considered trying CBD?

My sister had terrible anxiety for about 2 years, to the point where she couldn't leave the house.

After try all sorts of medication and therapy, she found out about CBD and how it can help with things like anxiety and depression. It has helped her so much. She got it from here...
