Ok this is my first post after reading a few threads I have decided to share my story too. Sorry for the long post!
After a whole 10 years of struggling with anxiety I'm looking for a cure now. It's always come in waves, lasting a week or two, the longest stint being when I first experienced anxiety 10 years ago which left me agoraphobic for 9 months. I got over that but it still showed it's ugly head every now and again. I could manage it knowing it would soon clear off in a week or two. It's a social anxiety usually, worrying about being out of my comfort zone.
This time is different. I lost my great nanny in May this year and I have felt horrendous ever since. Can anyone relate to any of my symptoms? I feel woozy and spacey (dream like), strange pressure feeling in my ears (like muffled but I can hear fine), forehead pressure headaches, heavy eyes (as if they're strained) and pressure on my nose (bridge area like sinus). I will suddenly come over with an extreme fatigue feeling throughout the day. I can't enjoy anything or concentrate properly! My symptoms are pretty much constant until the evening usually although tonight I'm still feeling all the symptoms. I feel exhausted from it all.
My mind is constantly ticking, I google my symptoms and get on a tangent of reading from one thread to another. I've mentioned to my doctor about my worries of having a brain tumour (after stumbling across a thread about it when googling my symptoms), this anxiety seems to be very health related. My doctor has checked me over several times as well as doing lots of blood tests which were all normal. Although I'm suffering these symptoms pretty much all the time, they are even worse (if that's possible) around the time of my period so have been prescribed cerazette mini pill so will pleased to see if it eliminates the feeling increasing during my next period.
I'm on meds, venlafaxine, propranolol and pregabalin and due to start CBT next week.
Can anyone relate at all? X
I can totally relate. When anxiety turns to health anxiety, it really is horrific, it makes things really impossible to live with. Googling for symptoms is absolutely the worst thing to do, we've all done it though. Myself I've just been to hospital for a tube up the nose and down my throat because I have a lump in my throat all the time. My gp told me it was anxiety related, which I totally believe. But regardless I put myself through that procedure for peace of mind. But the peace of mind only lasts a second. Then I move onto the next thing. Its a horrible way to live, but therapy is helping. Medications for me are pointless, they resolve nothing
Welcome and I'm so sorry to hear about your great nan 
I suffer from social anxiety, I can't do anything unless it's planned out in my head and I know I can control everything. I can't talk to people, look them in the eyes and it's horrible
It sounds like you are starting to get depressed? Maybe you are feeling like you do to worry yourself and distract the pain of losing a loved one as you say it mainly started after that. might sound crazy but it's something I have done before, you don't even realise it.
I used to suffer from health anxiety, googling symptoms all day and just get so worried I would feel sick, luckily I have forced myself to stop doing that as it's very destructive but I know how hard it can be.
Of course it could just be health anxiety but just sharing what happened to me and it sounds similar 
Everyone is really nice here and gets how you feel xxx
I have the exact same symptoms as u and after going to my docs many times for bloods etc they have told me it's down to me stressing about my health. I'm so sick of feeling woozy, dizzy, headaches, tired and I have a constant ringing in my ears which is like a static noise. I don't know whether I have some underlying illness which terrifies me or I'm going mad which equally terrifies me. I just wanna feel like I felt a month ago before I woke up and felt like a totally different person. I've been told just to get on with it but it's hard. The wooziness and headaches etc are debilitating. I try to ignore them and tell myself there's nothing wrong it's just anxiety but I can't help worrying it's not
I been going threw the same exact thing and it has me worried every day Cuz I feel feel like I'm going to die any day now but don't!!! I want to go to the ER but my mom won't take me cause she says its my anxiety I have got better but I just lost somebody to a brain anuysum so it spike it up again I Google everything to but I stop one time and I got better and then I hot my phone back on and it got worse again I think I need to stay off google!!!! I just want to be better
Hi Jake,
Although my symptoms are different from the usual anxiety I feel, some are the same ie my lack of appetite and constant worrying. It's this new disconnected spacey woozy head, ears and fatigue that's baffling me. I've worried about health prior to loosing my nanny, just now it's worse along with my other symptoms. I wouldn't say I feel depressed, I'm more frustrated and worried about my physical symptoms.
I get how you feel, no amount of reassurance helps and even if it does, you move onto something else.
It just made me think as you say you started feeling woozy etc after your nan passed away, I find there's always a subconscious reason as to why things happen and maybe getting frustrated and worried about new problems could just be a way of dealing with it.
Of course that's just what I do so could be totally wrong
My health anxiety usually pops up if I find something, I found a lump on my leg and was convinced I had bone cancer and spent days just googling symptoms, I had to stop after that as I made myself really bad.
