Dizziness that does not go away

[blsdnsvd]

Does anyone experience dizziness that lingers and effects you day to day?? I know all about anxiety, as i was diagnosed in 1998 and once treated was able to control the minor symptoms that would come and go. I had my thyroid removed in dec of 09 and about a year later, my panic attacks returned and are getting worse. One symptom that i did not have was dizziness. Within a few months apart, i've experienced dizziness while asleep and when it woke me up, i felt as if i was on a merrygoround (horrible feeling). This time, it did not go away, although it seems to happen whenever i lay down or attempt to fall asleep but during the day I feel completing out of it (sick type of feeling). I'm seeing many specialists since my thyroid removal and i recently had a eeg by my neurologist which turned out fine. I've also read about inner ear infections causing this, however don't think that's my problem but instead leaning toward Anxiety. I would love to hear similiar stories and comments on this.

I have had a constant lighthead feeling for 2 years now from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep and lately it's been waking me up. I also get dizzy spells and head rushes around 5 to 6 times a day. I could just be sitting doing nothing when these happen. I don't know what to do anymore. I have just stopped crying a second ago because tonight it's hitting me bad. I've been to alot of doctors and specialists as in cardiologists ent and neurologists! And everything comes back normal. I try tell myself it's anxiety, but it's hard to believe it cause this dizziness/lighthead and head rushes are so common and daily 24/7!! And it cause my blood pressure to go up at times! I've had two 24 hour blood pressure monitors on and they said it's normal also! So I really don't know what to do with myself anymore. Im a 28 year old female with a 10 year old son 2 year old daughter and 2 month old daughter. I can't do this anymore

I can relate. We should talk. haha, since my anxiety is, well, making me feel sick. I can't write much back now, but enjoy reading. Get in touch with me through a message or something.

It happens to me as well sometimes it is an inerr ear infection but anxiety kicks in cuz we worry about it and yes I agree its beyond scary especially when your out and about on your own and it happens I just deep breaths read and relax my mind its hard as heck but you will get use to it

Thanks for the response. It's hard not to freak out, that's the scariest thing. It happens when i lay down and even sleep, the most.

Oh yes definitely. I've been going through the same thing in fact for the past few days. My problem is I will get a head rush or feel the spinning sensation and I will freak out and start having an anxiety attack which makes the dizziness worse. I know it's hard but try to remain calm when this happens. I find my dizziness goes away within a few minutes when I remain calm.
