Is it all in my head?

I have been lightheaded and nauseous for over two months I was first diagnosed with an ear infection
I took antibiotics for two weeks then I went back to the doctor because I was still feeling lightheaded
He said that I was not that bad anymore I went to the hospital a few days later and get a CAT scan on my head and my sinuses they said all that was normal I. Went to an ent he said everything was normal
He told me to start taking Allegra D for allergies it helps a little in the beginning
I take two Xanax 0.25 a day I have panic attacks at least twice a day I'm not sure what's wrong
I've had blood test after blood test I cry because I'm
Lightheaded.  My primary doctor gave me another pill
Yesterday and said my anxiety is out control
I had a baby 4 months ago and love her and my other
2 kids... All I want to do is lay down and sleep. I worry
Every day when I wake up if I'm going to feel bad today
It's horrible

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way!! Anxiety has pretty much taken over my life!!

You should be able to enjoy your family without any worries...especially with a new baby!!

I have two daughters, they always want to have "girls day out" but I'm so afraid because of my anxiety...I need my husband there!!

You poor thing. I havent had the same thing but i can feel for you on having a problem and they dont find the answer. Ive had symptoms and complete sickness and docs counldnt find the problem. its scary and frustrating. Try to get friends and family to help you. I hope they will be supportive. Check your blood pressure during one of the episodes. maybe they could check your iron levels. It may not have anything to do with the ear infection. Try not to give up.Maybe your heart could use a check too. I hope you get better soon.
