Sometimes getting a book can work against ya , when I used to feel real strange in head with dull head aches I go to read and hard to focus , sure helps to talk hey to realise ya not the only person to go through something , the feeling weird in head is crappy hey
I would say its the worst, but then I remember the full blown panic attack! Lol! But the head is definitely a bad part of it. Normally when my head feels that way I'm not having an attack. Or maybe when the attack hits I forget the head? Hard to say!
I've even gone to the eye Dr to make sure my eyes are ok, they are. No blocks on any nerves in there.
Just thought.....can you all imagine how much money drs make off of us! Lol! Sad really!
God bless!
This is what I've had for the past 11 months. The anxiety disorder followed due to the disabling dizziness I deal with every day. I have not been able to come to terms with it. I always search for answers which in turn drives the anxiety worse. All scans and tests have been negative. It happens with up and down head movements.
This was me exactly! I would hold my hand in front of my face to focus on. And i would get headaches and eyestrain from moving my eyes around so much, trying to focus and get out of the window feeling. That detached feeling is depersonalization, its the worst for real. Makes life feel...unreal. Idk. I hate it and im so glad that currently im out of my bout. But like troy said, i slip into to this every couple years. Ill be better prepared next time!Originally Posted by Stacie

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that I have been suffering with chronic dizziness since january this year - exactly as you all talk about. Sometimes feel like my balance is off, often feel like my head is 'moving' even when it isnt, and when i move my head it feels like it takes a few seconds for my head to catch up etc etc. Anyway, after a LOT of trips to the doctor i finally saw a neurologist in june and got a diagnosis straight away - it is Chronic Hyperventilation. This NOT the same as acute hyperventilation like you have when having a panic attack. It is basically where you are breathing an extra breath or two every minute and over time this actually affects your blood and causes it to become more alkali and also affects the calcium levels in your blood. This is what causes the dizziness! I am not even aware my breathing is 'off', as far as im concerned i breathe totally normally. But the neurologist said it is so slight that you wouldnt actually notice it at all, but when you're doing this over a long period of time it builds up and starts to cause symptoms. There are other symptoms of it too but dizziness is one of the main ones and he was very quick to diagnose it.... Unfortunately not a lot is known about it and my GP had never had a case of it until me! Theres no easy fix im afraid - its a case of trying to get your breathing back on track and this will get your blood back to normal. Sory to go on a bit, but just wanted to put it out there in case it could help some of you and you werent aware of it!
What are the other symptoms? I've had this for almost a year the neuro said nothing of it
What you describe..balance probably and calcium imbalance..even anxiety and panic can be caused by an underactive(hypothyroidism) thyroid. Most docs only check your TSH levels, but if you ask they will run the whole panel...that's how they caught mine...free T4 was way off.
You did what you what you did, I saw what I saw. I'm glad I'm not a sinner baby cuz here's the twist...KARMA'S your master ...and you're the bxxxxh.
Thanks Suzzy!!
