always feel lightheaded and dizzy

Hi I'm 25 female and I have been told by my doctor that i have a panic disorder. I am always lightheaded and feeling dizzy. I feel like I could pass out at any second. This is ruining my life. Im scared to do anything alone. I cant go to a grocery store, mall, nothing. I am too scared that I'm going to pass out and I have tried to overcome it but I cant. As soon as I get into a place I get so dizzy and my vision is all messed up. I get so hot and sweaty and my heart races. I want my life back. I still dont believe that its just anxiety causing all of this. I feel like I have something else wrong that the doctors cant find even though i have had bloodwork, mri, ekg, and they were all normal. I started taking .25mg of xanax once a day. still dont feel any better yet. So if anybody has any help please give it to me. I feel like i have hit rock bottom

I have lived with emotional pain most of my 65 years. Dr's offer drugs instead of offering natural solutions. Your mind can be your greatest ally if you just focus on what makes you happy. This will take time but you are worth it. Find a quite place where you can be alone. Sit or lay down. Close your eyes and start to think about a PERSON;PLACE OR THING that made you HAPPY. Allow yourself to do this. Focus on it until you can see it in your mind. Don't expect it to work instantly but BELIEVE IT WILL. You will find that your breathing will start to slow down; then your negative thoughts will start to disappear and then your muscles will start to loosen. KEEP BELIEVING AND FOCUSING ON THAT THOUGHT. Eventually you will see what you thought about and you will relive that time. Joy;Peace and an AMAZING CALMNESS will encircle you. When you finally open your eyes the anxiety will be washed away. This is something you will learn to excell in and then when you have become calm and peaceful then you can see the stress causers and you will be better equipped to tackle them. It took me a lifetime to figure out this out because I didn't have a proper mentor who could guide me on my PATH OF SELF ENLIGHTENMENT. You can go to u-tube and look up Louise Hay 101 Power Thoughts. There are many others and they are all free. You are a special; unique SPIRIT and you are worth loving.

As i was reading your post as if i was reading my everyday story. Just like you ive been feeling constantly dizzy for about 7 months now. I got cranial ct scan and had my eye check,i also did all the blood works.they are all normal. But i still feel this heavy feeling in my eyes like im going to squint. Like theres a pressure in my head. I cannot concentrate on something. I cannot go out because i fear there will something happen. And worst i feel like im gonna die soon. I also had panic attacks. And i think i do have health anxiety. I just cant be me. I want to get my life back to normal. I cant even take care of my son and i cant be a wife to my husband. Because of this dizziness and this thinking that i have a serious illness.

Hi! I struggle with everything youve talked about. I will be fine and then go into a store, mall and my vision becomes blurred and I feel sweaty and like I could pass out. If My body temperature changes quickly my anxiety will kick in. I am currently seeing a homeopathic doctor and found out that I'm highly allergic to gluten. And also have learned that my adrenals are not working as they should so the smallest thing can set my fight or flight switch off. Sounds like this may be something that Is happening to you as well. Try getting off gluten for a month and see if you notice a different. And if you can get a food allergy blood test done get that done. I love my homeopathic doctor bc I feel heard and there is proof that my body isn't as healthy as it should be. Hope this helps!
