Dizziness/lightheadness, Hot flashes,

[limomel98]

Just when I think my anxiety is getting better, no more panic attacks..... a new symptom shows up! Ive been dizzy for the last few days, and lighthead. Today I start feeling this dizziness and sensation of being disconnected as if  by body was empty or light weight....like an out of body experience that come and goes when im awake, today was the first time. I even rush myself to the ER, because I was so scared! Labs and test were normal. I also have been having episodes when drifting off to sleep, my upper body heats up like a hot flash or  an adrenaline surge, my arms and hands get tingly and numb, as if i were sleeping on them. I then wake up sacred, racing heart, sweating and weak. As long as im awake, it does not happen, only when i drift off. I was thinking it was my thyroid, but they check that, normal. A doctor at my church told me to get my hormones checked and to take magnesium 400mg. I know i have anxiety/panic issues, but i do delieve there is something causing the symptoms, even if its hormonal imbalance or a pinched nerve... i will get to the bottom of it as soon as my isnsurance kicks in, im tired....anybody can relate? Ive had chest pains, dizziness, heart flutters, lighthead, hot flashes, burning sensations in my face, neck, around my ears, my hands and arms get numb and tingly.... im scared!! I feel like im loosing it or dying sometimes! most days i have no life, because im scared to go ANYWHERE!! in fear of passing out,  or dying, lol....sounds funny, i know

Girlfriend my man is the same way!! He has been kinda understanding but not the way I need him right now! I have never felt like I do now in my entire life and am still trying to understand why this panic attack and anxiety hit so hard like it did, I thought I lived a normal every day life but I guess not? I can't work either with the crazy things that happen to me through out the day! I have put all my faith in God that he will eventually get me through this! this is a bible verse that has literally got me through the day: Philippians 4: 4-6
Don't fret or worry . Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down!
Its wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life:)

For the past hour ive been feeling good, i hope it last and these dizzy spells have subsided!! My man came home from work this morning and he took a bath and left to run his errands. I was a little disapointed that he would not even stick around and comfort me, being that he has been working for the past 24 hours. But its cool. I find my comfort in this site and people i meet on it. He is quick to get upset if im on the laptop too much when he is home. Im like "you dont show me no attention, when i need it the most!" I dont want to be a burden on anyone! So I just keep it to myself! I hold in all the hurt :(

See that's what I went through yesterday, it s*cks {they make you bleep out words like that.. Anyway, I was walking into a store when I felt extremely light headed and it scared me enough to not even wanna walk in! and then it continued for the remainder of the day till I went to bed last night.. I took my night meds and dang-it if that pill didn't give me energy, however I was able to relax and go to bed! But yeah Ill keep you posted and let you know how these meds work out for me! (I'm HOPING A CHANGE SOON) lets pray!!!! And I hope you get to feeling better!! I know its "not" easy:(  this crap consumes your life and its so hard to shake off!

Let me know how that goes... I couldnt bare it! Right now, im trying to cope with this on & off dizziness im having, ugh!!!! The nurse practioner told me month ago, I had Vertigo. It went away, but now its back!! I wondering if it really is Vertigo. Im scared & sad some days. I wont feel better until all my further testing is done! Im laying here in bed now, I got things to do, but im scared to move or go anywhere in fear of a dizzy/lightheaded spell.

Girl that is totally how I'm feeling!! the side effects are almost worse then how I was feeling before I got on it... I'm gunna keep taking my meds but I rest assure you that if this doesn't get better in a couple weeks I'm coming up off this stuffff!!!!!!

[limomel98]

Doctors look at you like you are crazy!! Im like hey, im not imaging these symptoms. Could my anxiety be exacerbating my symptoms? perhaps! But dont treat me like crap, throw me some meds for crazies and write me off! My doctor gave me celexa 20mg i took it three times and nerver again! The side effect are worse than my anxiety and panic attacks, I took Xanex twice, and that isnt good either! Im just tired! I say to myself, bump it....im not running to another ER, if i pass out, i pass out....let rescue bring me in, then maybe they'll take me serious!

Maybe its something in the air....chemicals ect.... because the appraiser who came to my house today, an older guy...says he's been going through the exact same thing as me! It was shocking, he said God place us together for that reason. But his symptoms came from a rear-end accident... his doctor asked had he had any injury to hiis neck, because his MRI came back that the nerves in the back of his neck were damages/pinched and even had spurs that had grown on it. Which was causing all of his dizziness, heat flashes, numb tingling  ect... because the nerves in the back of your head are connected to alot of other things in your body,  contributing to  anxiety and panic disorders. He asked me if I ever got injured, I thought about it. But i did remember that my family and I wen to six flags back in early august 2011 and the last roller coaster i rode was an old wooden coaster. After I got off, i was holding the back of my neck and told my fiance, that it hurt and i didnt feel good.. On the ride home, i recall feeling dizzy and my head and neck was hurting. i laid back in my carseat and told him to be quiet i dont feel good. I went to bed later and didnt give it a second thought, until now. Before that day at six flags, I was fine all year long, i even did a physical agility for a police postion, go figuer! I will get to the bottom of it, when my insurance kicks in. Im gonna get everything done! I will keep you posted on the results
