Definitely sounds like stress and anxiety. I have been going through the exact same things with feeling foggy even distract with lack of concentration. I've had ecgs stress tests. All the blood work.ultra sounds you name it! All because irefused to believe anxiety could make me feel so horrible. Once I gave in and told myself its just anxiety not anything that will truly harm me Ilearned to just ignore it for the most part.occasionally I still get dizzy foggy brained but just take some deep breaths and keep on going.
So....after all this time - this has carried on and after I thought i'd figured it out - I went to the company doctor from my job who tested me for glandular fever and it came back positive but that I was post viral - struggling with fatigue and not sure if the brain fog / diziness is linked, seen it is part of glandular fever - but I just feel so outer body all the time, like nothing is real!! Got time off now to try and get better - think i'm getting there slowly but the vacantness / not with it - ness is there all the time - anyone else experience this??
How are you all getting on???

Hey x x
I don't know yet - I have to go back and chat about it plus have an MRI to see what else might be going on. It will take a while to fix - they said to think of it like teeth and braces - not an overnight fix, but do-able. Sorry your having to go through the extreme dizziness. Have you had any physio? The 2 muscles at the front of our necks control our eyes and if they're really tight too then it makes the dizziness worse. x
So did they tell you what they planned to do about your neck and muscles cause I have about 3 weeks ago been diagnosed with a pinched nerve muscle around my neck really hard and have extreme dizziness are they talking surgeory or meds or therapy plllleeeaaaassseee let me know!
Yeah thank you.... meditation a must!! So I to the chiropractor and they did an xray and back scan - my neck is nearly 100% out of it's natural alignment hence the dizziness....all muscles tight and closed off, no oxygen getting to brain etc - quite severe, but at least I know.. x x x x
meditiation truly does help to refocus. Jon Kabitt-Zinn is great with this
Hi Kalie,
Thank you so much for your response. I would never drink to be be drunk - it would just be a few glasses a night etc. But every single night to be honest. I have stopped though as it was making me feel worse. Since I wrote the post I had acupuncture on Friday and I stupidly bought LOADS of herbs that were beyond expensive but so desperate to get better. I felt much better on the Saturday - still quite foggy. But then since then I feel i've gone down hill. Had my first day of work yesterday (acting in a show) - and managed to deal with it all - but felt drained yet pleased I got through the day although I felt weird. But today has been awful - just got home and cried my eyes out. So scared, thought rehearsals would take my mind off feeling bad but the heavy head and eyes are causing problems. Looking at everyone else being so lively and enjoying themselves, I just can't quite do it. So want to enjoy it but i'm really struggling. Making me so sad. Just want to feel normal again :( I have some chiropractic xrays and back scans thurs morning with a follow up app that eve to have a session. Praying it shows something. And i'm gonna ask doctor to write me a referal letter so I can pay for an MRI. £295 about right?? I open the show in 3.5 weeks - I have no time and I really need to be well for it. So frightening and frustrating!! Hope you're well though and sorry for rambling... x x
Also, I should have mentioned that with quitting the alcohol, and getting the new great job, and Im so sorry for your loss, your dad. Everyone deals with emotions in different ways. Yours could be coming out as anxiety. Therapy would probley be a great help for you to talk about all the news things happening in your life .

It all sounded like anxiety-panic problems, but after reading your last paragraph I'm thinking it could be from the alcohol. It does not mean you must have been a alcoholic but if your body gets used to a chemical in your body it becomes somewhat dependent on it. So how much did you drink and how often?
