Great, Now I got a New Worry!

[txdave35]

It seems like my life is a never ending wheel of misfortune.  I finally get some peace about one medical worry, and another one takes it's place.  

In March, I started freaking out when I noticed that I was urinating a lot and getting up multiple times at night to urinate.  For weeks, it was a torture of fear that I had a UTI, kidney disease or diabetes.  Even though I don't have health insurance, I ran to the doctor in desperation.  After 200 bucks in costs, I found out that I don't have diabetes or kidney disease, but I might have a liver problem.  In other words, they couldnt' tell me the true cause of my problem.

But like many of my problems, once I stop being so afraid of it, it usually goes away.  

Well 8 days ago, I woke up with a headache and this weird feeling of lightheadedness.  I havent felt dizzy where the room is spinning, just a feeling like my head is screwed on loose.  I don't remember ever having this sensation for a prolonged period of time.

I felt normal all day yesterday and totally forgot about the sensation until it hit me out of the blue while I was shopping.  Now I am really worried.  This opens up a whole new world of troubling possiblities,  brain turmors,  clogged arteries, heart disease.  It feels so bad at times that I just want to lay down and not get up.

Could this be a normal sensation with anxiety panic attack?  It has always been raining a lot here this week which really stirred up my allergies.  I'm really screwed here because I can't go back to the doctor.  I can't afford another 100 bucks for an exam, and I'm sure he will just tell me it is either nothing or order a MRI scan which would cost a fortune.  THIS *****!!!!!!!

I was very dizzy for a long time and I had been in a bad accident (I was hit by a car) so for sure I thought something was terribly wrong. I also have been suffering Panic Attacks and I get dizzy with loud noise, lights especially supermarkets.

I also was lifting weights and had a permanent stiff neck when I stopped doing it so much my severe dizziness went away as I guess I had a trapped nerve in my neck which was restricting the blood flow. You may want to get your eyes checked too. Try to cover all your bases and you'll get the answer.

I explained to the doctor that my head felt like a balloon, that it wasn't on my body...sounds the same as you.

i too struggle with anxiety horrible. worryisng about one problem or another. honestly i have ben like you numerous times , it will hit me out of the blue. i feel like i am living my life at the moment but im not. like im there but im not. can't even explain how i feel when that happend but as you it will hit me at the oddet times when i was just fine seonds before. i am learning to try and not be so paranoid about everything because i am an extreme hypochondriac. anxiety does that to you. it plays very werd tricks on your body. other than anxiety i wouldn't worry, i doubt it is anything serious that a test can show you other than knowing you have anxiety. let me kno, keep me posted on this
