Last night I was on the computer and I started feeling dizzy when I moved my head, so I got up to go to my room and I had a really bad dizzy spell.
Ive been dizzy before but this was bad.
I was fine when I was laying down but If I stood up, it would feel like I was gunna tip over. The room wasent spinning I just felt off balance, you know what I mean?
With every spell came a panic attack so that didnt help.
When I was trying to sleep, I had to sleep on my back cuz if I tried to sleep on my side my head would move and then I would get dizzy again. It scared the **** outta me. I woke up and it was gone.
Im scared of a brain tumor, or a siezure or heart failure.
I have been under a great amount of stress latley. Me and my boyfriend broke up the same day my parents got into a violent fight which resulted in seperation between them. And im close with my dad and not having him home is hard on me. Ive been crying for about 3 days straight, no appitite but I make myself eat cuz If I dont I get nausea. Im feeling really depressed and just not myself. The seperation has hit me hard. Ive had countless panic attacks that have been very bad which have caused me to hurt myself. My doctor is in Cape Cod right now and I probably wont be able to see him for another week, so thats outta the question. I also pick my ears with bobby pins deep and use Qtips deep into my ear canal which has caused random dizziness before but not as bad as last night.
Could someone offer me some confort on this and tell me that its nothing serious?
Is it the stress? the anxiety? or my ears?
I am currently taking 20mg of Cipralex and .5 of Clonazapam.
Thank you, I could really use your support during this hard time.

Your profile says you are 18. If that is correct then heart failure or brain tumor would be very unusual indeed. Far more likely you have something simple like allergies (Swampy's allergies cause him to lose balance, feel dizzy), an ear infection -- totally common and treatable.

Stop using bobby pins and q-tips in your ear!

It really sounds like an inner ear problem (possibly labrynthitis).

Go see your doctor.

i do this "often".   mine is caused from sinus infections (even though i have no signs of having an infection...no congestion, etc)...MRI confirmed this.
