I cant figure anything out!!

I cant figure anything out!!

Okay so nothing wrong ever happened when I was younger. When I was in about 8th grade I started getting what seemed like light headed or dizzy when I played sports or any physical activity.  The most obvious symptom is slurred speech when I get one of these spells.  Im a freshman in college now and I cant seem to figure it out.  I've gone to the doctor and they said my heart seems to be running fine which is good.  My speech also gets slurred when I have to speak in front of class or something like that. It stinks because I cant really ever read during class because I get too scared.  Everything seems to be fine with me until I either play sports or talk in front of people.  I know its not me being nervous in sports because ive always been decent at sports and had no reason to be nervous.  Just curious if anyone has any ideas that could help me. Thanks so much.

It sounds to me like an anxiety disorder - Even though you dont think you are nervous doesnt mean it is not happening. Talk to your doctor about getting on some anxiety meds for a while and see if that helps. The mind is a very powerful thing. I dont believe it is something that shoud cause concern but try the meds out and see what happens.

Hope this helps!

Do you take a full complement of vitamins and minerals? Often what we think of as emotional problems are actually physical. Lack of stamina may be causing your problems.

Well the doctor started me on anxiety medication, citalapram...and ive been on it for a little over a month and nothing has really changed so i wasnt sure if it was working.  Its just weird because its hard to explain what happens to me on the basketball court....its like my whole body goes numb and i cant figure out how to even describe it. its just like i cant do anything and my voice gets all slurred.
