Hi, im new to the forum and really need some advice on whether what i have could be anxiety or whether there might be a real problem?
For the last 2 weeks ive been feeling really dizzy and strange. It sort of feels like my head is too heavy and like my head is moving even when my head is still (almost like my brain is moving around inside?!) i have to physically support my head with my hand or rest it coz otherwise i feel really weird and like i might pass out or something. It seems to be at its worst when im sat still and not doing anything. Even if im sat at a computer i dont notice it so much but if i am sat watching tv or something it sometimes becomes unbearable and i have to lie down coz i feel so dizzy and light headed. I also have the feeling that when i move my head it takes my brain a second to catch up with it which is horrible.... Sometimes i have a kind of pressure in my head as well. I can find no real relation to what might cause it. Sometimes i get it when i moving, sometimes when im lying down. Sometimes its after ive eaten. Sometimes its in the morning/afternoon/evening. Sometimes its all day.I cant stand it any more! Ive been to the doc twice and they've checked me over and said they cant find any real cause but if it continues to go back etc. I go back and they say the same thing again! The second time she suggested it might be anxiety but im just not convinced that it is! Its so horrible and i get it when i feel pretty relaxed, i.e lying in bed at night. Im also getting lots of other symptoms but only occasionally such as tingling in my face or arms. Weakness in my limbs - particularly my arms. Occasional pain in both ears and the feeling of pressure in my ears. And the usual palpitations and chest pain that i get. But im sure that IS anxiety from stressing about all the other stuff! I'd really love some opinions on whether you think its all down to anxiety or whether i should be demanding some tests or something incase it really is a medical problem? I konw i sound a bit crazy but its driving me insane! Thanks in advance!
