[AmyJay12]

Hey! How long did it take for the feeling of not being really here to wear off? I've had severe panic and anxiety for nearly 10 days and it has finally started to calm down, but things still feel really weird. I just want to be my normal self again.

I started feeling similar symptoms about 7 months ago.  I felt something you could call a zap, and then a numbness/tingling sensation all over the top of my head, but more towards the back and what seemed like my scalp.  no pain.  It just was extremely disorienting and distracting to the point I could not continue a conversation.  I went to the doctor to no avail.  I associated it with a cardio regimen I had just started, so I took it easy for a while since I am overweight.  What I failed to realize was that it was not the workout that was causing problems, it was the supplements I had started taking.  After a 2 month hiatus, I resumed the supplements, only to encounter the same symptoms.  I am convinced at this time, my symptoms were either caused by an allergic reaction to the supplements (seems to be related specifically to a green drink from Trader Joe's) or my bodies response to the detoxifying effects of this drink.  I don't know if this is could possibly help you, but I feel better and hope that someone reading this, may be helped by it.

I know what you mean, I started getting burning sensations in my head too It started at  the beginning of this year. I was out with my mum when suddenly I got a burning sensation, When I do get it its worrying and really annoying. I also get other strange fellings like Im not really here when I do get it stuff looks strange . do you ever get this    felling that theres something trapped in your head, its really not very nice I think ive had it for while but sometimes its hard to describe it.

i have experienced it all!!!!! panic attacks, dizziness, nausea, pounding heart, headaches( feels like wearing a band, alot of pressure) those electric shocks, blurred vision. ringing ears and more.. all anxiety and stress.. the best thing i did was buy the panic away programme.. absolutely fantastic!! and he works! it will cure you of your anxiety and panic attacks.. i guarantee this will make you your old self again!!! as soon as you read it you will feel better already. i havent had a panic attack in 2 mths (since i bought it) my anxiety symptons went away pretty quickly but do pop u from time to time but thats normal and the book helps you get back on track... at least go to the website and read about it and listen to the stories of success.its amazing.. best thing ive done for myself!

I would have your thyroid checked as well.. Thyroid disorders are one of the main causes of anxiety/depression.. SSRI's only "mask" the real issues.. They can be overkill for your anxiety.. Believe me, I have been on SSRI's for 11 years and they are not fun.. I am now weaning off Prozac which is awful. They say that prozac is the eaisest to wean off, but you still get head zaps and other SSRI discontinuation syndrome issues.. Check out they thyroid message forums here on Medhelp before you decide to take SSRI's for anxiety..

[jenalle90]

i exactly fell what you feel and when i lie down and close my eyes to go to sleep its like my worlds just spinning round and round, and i feel off balanced all the time day and night,
im only 19 though..
and i dont know what it is...
i hate it.. it so stops me from doing anything i can hardly hang Out with my friends either just because of this weird sensation--
i even feel like my eyes are heavy and i cant really see things properly and i feel like my head is in space--- PLUS i always have the feeling like my head is moving never steady-- i feel like im a soccer ball or something!

[Smitty747]

The thing is the more you worry about it the more you will have them just like chest pains. All you can do is get a clean bill of health from your doc and ignore (or do your best to ignore) any anxiety pains. Try drinking a few beers it's helped my anxiety for years and now I pretty much have everything under controll. I hope lol

Thank God. I just quit drinking after 10 years, 9 days ago, and iv'e been on celexa (10 mg) for about a month. I went to inpatient detox and the psyciatrist prescribed 40mg celexa while I was inpatient for five days, when i got out I had all the symptoms everybody described. I can barely type this right now. I knew something was wrong because i've quit before I never felt like this. I can't describe the relief knowing what the cause is. I can barely THINK. Just typing this makes me shake and feels like my head is going to explode. **** SSRI's, eat a pizza instead. and protect the internet.

[anwerstoproblems]

I have had some of these sensations. I found the problems to be when etting up from sitting a sudden drp in blood pressure or a raise in blood presssure or a instant sugar spike. these problems should be monitor wih a blood pressure cuff for a month and with a blood sugar monior. elveate blood pressure can make you feel you are in space. weights on your head and other wired feelings. infected or sore gums in mouth can cause sharp and sticky like pain in the head. very unwanted scary feeling.using peroxide mouth wash stops this pain beause it goes into he gums deep and continues to keep infection or bacteria that causes the problem

[Alacran69]

Yes, I've been there. I started when I was about 25yrs old. I suffered from debilatating anxiety. I thought I was going to die at any minute. Heart attacks, tumors, strokes, and aneurysms terrified me the most. I remember going to the bathroom to try and calm myself, but leaving the door unlocked so someone could find me in case the worst happened.

You'll be fine.

What you need to remember is that whatever you did to finally get your anxiety under control, do not take for granted. We are not built like other people and cannot handle anxiety or stress like others. After living 7 years without any symptoms I am suddenly having a relapse.

I know this is due to my lifestyle. I am recently married and within a month I spent a 3day weekend in Vegas, and eloped in Jamaica 2 weeks later. Basically, all the drinking, late nights, lack of sleep and stress (I'm also not the best flyer in the world) finally added up. It's not as bad as it was before because I know what it is, but that doesn't prevent the impending feeling of doom and death.

Just take care of yourself, you will get better.

I just heard something on the radio about this about 2 weeks ago... there is some type of condition when you feel like you have little brain zaps in your head... BUT IT IS NOT HARMFUL... its just annoying... and there is medication out there to help it... people who are prone to getting headaches and migraines alot get these types of zap things..

It could also be b/c of anxiety...

or are you having anxiety b/c of this?

[cottlt]

Thank you all for posting! I have been having all of these symptoms for the past couple of months - the little zaps in my head, the pounding heart, all of it. I totally have medical anxiety, every new thing I hear about, I'm convinced I have it and I start to think I'm having symptoms. It's starting to interfere with pretty much every area of my life and it's gotten to where I don't want to be alone at all because I'm convinced that I'm going to keel over at any second and I'm having trouble sleeping because I think if I go to sleep, I'll never wake up. I know it's anxiety because if I'm distracted with other things, I don't have any problem, it's only when I have time to think about it that they pop up.

It's just so nice to know that I'm not alone and that other people have these same feelings. I'm trying to work through this by myself because I do not want to have to take medication for this, but it's getting to the point that I think I'm going to have to. Thank you to everyone who has posted their own experiences though, it helps a lot.

i just want to let you know i have the same symtoms for number of years i thought i'm going to die doctor kept saying it's anxiety , but suddenly all this pain gone how ?don't ask  i don't know ,but the same way it came it gone try to forget it and keep telling your self it's nothing till your brain believe it,s nothing .and wish all of you luck

[Briggers]

Hi I suggest that you read up about Hyperventiation Syndrome as it sounds to me as if this is what you are experiencing.  All of these horrible feelings you describe are due to a change in your breathing pattern which starves your brain of oxygen.  To stop this happening when you feel it coming on breath in through your nose and count to 5 in your head. Keep this breath in for 5 (most important bit) and then let it out for 5.  Keep it controlled, calm and slow.  You should slowly start to feel a bit better

[nozmeg]

[melonoxys84]

Wow I've recently started having heart pain and my heart starts beating super fast. Sometimes it feels like I can't breathe I had to call 911 a few months back. I'm able to talk myself out of it sometimes. But it's freakin' scary. My doctor says it's from being on oxycontin but now I'm not so sure! He wouldn't prescribe me anything so I went to a walk in clinic and they prescibed me these little white pills that you let melt under your tongue and they work great! I hope I don't need any soon because I just moved and I can't find them anywhere!!! I feel really bad for you guys with the headaches and burning scalps that must be an awful feeling. Hope things get better.  Mel

..just wanted to tell you that you are not alone in this. a lot of people have anxiety,me included.
You should go back to your doctor,tell him/her what's going on,then let him/her decide if you need medds or just need some counseling.
Hang in there kiddo....it gets worse before it gets better.
If you want to talk,we're here!

[daughterofsarah77]

Oh my, I am sorry you are experiencing all of this, but relieved to see that someone else is reporting these weird head symptoms!
I have a burning feeling on my scalp pretty much daily...my scalp muscles feel tight at the same time. Sometimes I get that little electrical "buzzing' feeling on my scalp too. I have been back and forth with Neurology on this, and they have nothing to offer. They have said it is tension or anxiety... but it's hard because it's not like this strange sensation is something you see every day on lists of anxiety symptoms!
I also get blurry vision/dizziness with this... head rushes sometimes, especially if I get cold. All of this odd symptoms seem to get worse if I get a chill or cold...I have found that wearing a hat or headband seems to diminish the symptoms.

[sk316]

I am right there with you - tons of tests, no results, a LOT of panic.  I keep wanting to call for an amblulance or drive to the ER too...its some sort of hypochodrisis, extreme at the least, and its not going away on its own.  The thoughts keep coming, and never stop.  Typing on here maybe is a good distraction, does anyone else feel that way?  I am also afraid to face friends, job, family because I can't let anyone see me like this.  Its really a no-hope situation and feeling, so I know what you are going through.  Try to talk to your doctor and try to stay with one, I know its hard to do though.  Thats a bit of the best advice I've gotten so far, although I can't say I've exactly followed it so far
