and help is appreciated

okay so long story short I have been lightheaded CONSTANTLY for the last 3 months.. unable to drive, go to work, walk around much, or even just sit on the couch without feeling faint.

I've had 10000 blood tests, MRI, ears checked, caridololy test everything imaginable. All the doctors could conclude was either migranes or anxiety. I brought up anxiety because I had read a lot about it, even though Ive never had anxiety I mentioned it to the dr and have been on Zoloft for a month now with little to no change since this all started happening.

It came on suddenly by the way, on December 17, 2014  a day at work I became very lightheaded and went to the ER and have felt this way ever since! I sit home all day everyday just sitting on the couch and my newest symtom is that my big toe on my right foot will sometimes become numb over night and hurt to walk on when I wake up..

it will soon look bruised on the side and not have much feeling to it just on the left side though, and after a few days to a week the feeling will slowly come back. But this has happend a couple times in the last month or two. Any ideas what's going on with me? is it anxiety or what else could it be that they can't find?? thank you

You have to fight sometimes for the doctors to hear you out. They told me all my sxs were stressed. I knew my body though and it's not stress. That is why I got a third opinion. You can't give up the fight.

yes i have actually seen a neurologist and a cardiologist. They just said migraines or anxiety and sent me on my way. Its much worse then that i can't even go to work or drive or even do much else for that matter!

Sorry I won't be able to help you with what it is seeing as I am not a doctor, but I want to offer some advice. This advice is from my own personal experience. See 8 yrs ago I started having dizzy spells, light headness, and my left leg would feel this extreme tingling sensation. I went to many doctors and they all said it was anxiety or depression. I know my body though and that wasn't what was happening to me.

Sorry went off on my own personal experience. Point is that only you know your body, if you feel that something more is wrong get another opinion until a doctor really hears you out. In my case I finally found a Nero who has been great. While he can't tell me why I have my sxs he has helped them be less felt. He heard me out and ran some test, and have me med for the sxs.

Have you seen any specialist at all? If not you might want to consider one. A Nero maybe a good start due to faint feeling and numbness in your toe. Although the bruise I don't know how to consider that in the picture. What I do know is if you think your sxs are related dont let a doctor change your mind. Good luck in your fight for answers. Keep your head up and remeber to believe that you can get pass this too.
