Aa
Found out what was wrong with me from the Dr.
I wanted to share this, just incase some of you health anxiety peeps out there have these symptoms this time of year. May make you feel better.
2 Weeks ago, I noticed I was getting pretty tired early in the day. I blew it off, surprisingly (usually I worry about every physical symptom I have lol.) and I just went on with life and thought it was too much sun or the heat.
Well, on the 2nd week of feeling so tired all day/night I started to get "WORRIED". I felt heavy in the eye brows, a heaviness between the eyes and middle of the forehead. My neck was kinda tense/stiff too, but it typically is anyways.
Everyone I talked to told me it was probably just allergies/sinuses. But as a health anxiety freak, I kept thinking it could be something else.
Along with the pressure feeling in between my nose, every now and then If I look down then up, the room my feel like it's moving for a second. Happened in the car a couple times too, felt like when I parked my car, felt like the car and I were moving forward for a second. That usually sparked me into a bit of a panic.
Anyway, I finally went to the Dr. today b/c my anxiety wasnt helping with this heavy eyed, fatigue, pressure feeling. I was also feeling depressed.
He checked me out today, said I was perfectly healthy and fine. He said it is sinus pressure, and that allergies/sinus issues are really bad right now in our area.
He said to take Zyrtec D. I havent tried anything, b/c im a dufus, except for some regular Zyrtec for 2 days... didnt do anything. So I'm trying the Zyrtec D tomorrow!
It's so funny, b/c my anxiety wasnt helping... I kept doing the "WHAT IF" thinking... thinking the worse!
And after my Dr. told me sinus pressure, it made sense... it feels like sinus pressure.
Believe it or not, allergies and sinus pressure can make you feel heavy eyed, tired, fatigue, dizzy, and some vertigo. Love my Dr. My anxiety has pretty much stopped! =)
I told him my "what if thinking" was bad lately... and I told him at one point I thought "What if it's a tumor?"
He laughed and said, it's not a tumor. lol. He said I'd be having WAY more symptoms. =)
Hope this has helped some of you. I am on the mend now. =)

Hi
i am vikas. I had this feeling of pain behind my eyes from last two years. I got my sinus, blood test, MRI, CT scan and even vitamin test but none of these worked. One side of my nose is constantly blocked. When i even got a mild cold, i feel like having fever and begin to have a headache.
I am not able to do my normal work. I am si worried. Please help.

Hahahah its funny you posted this the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and went to the ent convinced I had cancer or something...lol. It was of course sinus and allergies but it took a tube going down my nose and throat to reassure me. But I felt much better as soon as that happened and my symptoms almost completely went away after. My mind made them seem so much worse than they were...lol. God anxiety ***** a**...lol.
Oh wow. I'm glad you posted this. I've been feeling kind of lightheaded and weird and getting really really tired. I was having trouble with insomnia but then all of a sudden couldn't even keep myself awake at night. I kept getting anxious and scared that I'd pass out or something. But I do get allergies and now that I think I can notice my sinuses being a little blocked up. I've also woken up with pressure headaches behind my eyes. I'm going to try to start taking benadryl at night again to see if it helps with my morning pressure headaches.
Thanks for the post. Funny enough..my insomnia going away caused me anxiety instead of relief. I was just scared that something was horribly wrong with me because I was so tired.
I used to have a prescription for allergy meds. Maybe I'll go back to the doc and get some more.
