Heavy head feeling and eye focusing problem

[Nikkie Ann]

Hie, for the past 2 weeks i have had this heavy headed feeling, sometimes at the back of my head, sometimes it feels like the whole head. The feeling will be there constantly. Throughout the day, sometimes i feel throbbing pain at both sides of my temple. Apart from that, my eyes focus seems to be getting weird - don't really know how to explain the feeling, but it feels like my focus expands and then shrinks. My eyes also feels tired easily since this whole episode started. Before this happens, i've had a few other worries regarding my health, and hav been getting up several hours before i am suppose to be up. I have done a renal blood test (the doctor thought i might be anaemic) and a CT scan, both of which came back negative. I've been asked to go to an eye doctor instead. Should i be worried about brain tumour?

One day I woke up with really bad vertigo. For the next several weeks I experienced almost all of the symptoms listed above. I recently had extensive bloodwork and physical down with excellent results. I eat really healthy, excersize at least 5x a week, non-smoker, non-drinker. I'm not stressed out or have feeling of anxiety. So when this started happening to me, I was a bit freaked out since I live a pretty healthy lifestyle. So after almost two weeks of having issues with my eyes focusing, heavy head feeling, slight vertigo throughout the day, I decided to try an alternative method of healing. Medicinal marijuanna. I smoked a little bit couple of hours prior to bed. I noticed that I slept better and was well rested the next morning. Also each day that I smoked, my symptoms started to slowly subside. After a week of smoking, I'm almost back to normal. I'm not trying to promote drug use, but after reading lots of articles online regarding marijuanna, I decided to try it and it worked for me.

Friends,

i read most of the comments and all of them are quite similar to mine.For me it started from a very much weird feeling."One day i was having my breakfast and i suddenly felt very unusual which i can explain.the feeling gave a me a little fear.
Slowly and gradually that feeling occurred frequently.One day when i had  30 ml drink,and i could not even bear the feeling.It was so terrifying,like something unusual has happened to me and i am not well.Friends i can not explain the feeling no words.

It even started getting worst.I thought my eyes had focussing problem.Went to opthalmologist, they said everything is ok.But i was not ready to beleive.I felt like i have cancer or some serious disorder.It just started worsening like that.
Slowly gradually i could not even think of drinking and now days i fear drinking still.But many times i tried but again the same phobia remained.

Every time i feel my head heavy,some thing unusual with my head,eyes.You know nonsense thinking.

I searched in internet.My all symptoms resembled with anxiety and fear.I was convinced to some extent.Some times the feeling just came like that and i had to run out of house to get some fresh air and hold my breathe in the night.

I could not share with any one.Felt like i am going mad.Shared with my wife she said she also had such feeling but i was not convinced.One day one of my friends shared with me that he is also having same kind of feeling  and he had to run out of his house in compromising position due to that feeling.I was then happy to know that this feeling is not so uncommon.I was so relieved that day.

that day onwards i knew  that it is a common thing and that gave me some strength against it.These days still i feel that but since i know that it is common and with a hope that it is temporary i am able to fight with it.

Hope will eradicate soon and will have good feelings soon.

I am happy I have found this site.  This is really helpful and I realize I am not the only person going thru this.  I had my first panic attack about three weeks ago and everyday since then has been crazy.  I have the same heavy-headed feeling....I feel like my head keeps growing and I don't have any control to stop it.  I have done all the tests... seen about 7 doctors and now I have an appointment to do an MRI... so far all the tests have come back normal but I am not sure how to get it together.....

I wake up everyday feeling like any second I'll die,I always make it through the day and will tel myself its just luck and the next day is my day to die,I'm not currently on any medication and don't like the idea of taking medicatio,this is really scary for me and I'm not a happy person anymore and people don't seem to understand so I have no one to talk to,I'm fighting this battle alone and hate how I feel,is there anyone experiencing this

24 female.. Reading through all of these has made me feel so much better. I thought I was the only one suffering. I felt so alone and isolated all the time.. I have all the above symptoms, had my bloods done, eyes tested and ECG.. All fine apart from the ECG, nothing to serious but having to go for a Eco.. I have an irregular heart beat.. Been prescribe beater blockers which have helped and only had another episode/panic attack since.. All started when I had a racing heart one night and thought I was dying (obviously wasnt).. Diagnosed with anxiety but kept pushing for more tests as u kno urself when somethin isn't right.. But now I can't seem t shift this heavy throbbing head which makes me feel like am not on this planet :/.. Frustrating is it! Eco next Tuesday so fingers crossed.. I had a little giggle reading through these, as it was such a relief :) thank you.
