Anxiety Disorder???
by jmj161, Feb 03, 2008 03:03AM
I'm not sure if this is an anxitey disorder, it just recently occured this previous week. I feel as if it's passed right now. This was my week:
Mon- Slept all Day
Very dizzy, lightheaded
Feeling very confused almost as if in a dream all day.
Hard to concentrate on what people were saying (litterally, the words coming out of their mouth made no sense).
Tues- Same as monday
Wed- Same as Mon only worse at night (work night shift)
Thur- Worst Day Ever!!!!
My mother woke me up at 3:30 p.m., wanting to test my blood pressure and heart rate. Blood pressure was very high, not sure exactly sure where, (mother's alseep) heart rate was 112. Went to family doctor. Doctors saying I was twitching, very pale and lifeless. They did blood work, EKG and nothing was found. I did a 24 hour urine, haven't received results.
No vommiting, no chest pains, no stomach pains, no headaches, no aching at all,
Not sure if this is the right forum. Am I overreacting? Should I be worried?

it sounds exactly like GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) that is exactly how I found out that i suffered from it. I felt worried all the time and could not sleep, I was taking ambien to sleep through the night and all was good, but then it turned to light headedness, dizziness and other syptoms that you describe above. Make sure you get diagnosed properly, and get to a specialist if you are diagnosed with GAD. You don't want to get to a doctor that is just going to try different medications, I was given xanax for about a year and now I am trying to get off of it, i have some hard couple of days ahead of me but by the grace of GOD i will get through it. Don't be worried, that is just going to add to the Anxiety, try to eat healthy and try to exercise as much as you can, this helps me tremendously. Feeling tired makes my Anxiety and worries go away.
