Why am I having anxiety attacks?

[BonJovi77]

I am 24 years old and I just started getting dizzy headed like 6 months ago. I haven't had any problems from it. My left side of my head hurts ever so often I think it might be from my bad teeth. Every time my head starts getting dizzy/light headed I have anxiety attacks like some bad is going to happen from it. Since this is been happening I started eating more and gaining weight. I eat cause it helps me when I get light headed. I don't have diabetes. Now all I do I stay in my room. I eat by myself. I don't like to be around people cause what they might say or think. I go out in public but don't like to stay long cause I start having anxiety attacks and start thinking people are staring at me and saying things about me. I start getting hot and sweaty and have to step out side get some fresh air. I also can't stand still and I move around a lot. I start bending up and down. I think I also have social anxiety too. I want to work but don't cause I might get dizzy/light headed and start having anxiety attacks. I don't even drive because of this problem I have. I use to work all the time and go out in public with no problems. I loved going out and doing stuff. I don't know what happened to me, I want to know what I can do to see why I am getting dizzy’ light headed and if there is some thing to stop it from happening again and never come back. I never had this problem. Would going to a head doctor be a good idea? I also want to know why I started getting anxiety attacks and how I can stop it completely. I know I might get it from being dizzy headed and gaining weight. Please help me cause I want my life back to normal. I don't want to be locked in my room and not come out. I want to have a family and I can if I can't find away to fix these problems. If anyone can help me please do. Thanks.

I been to theraphy before but i don't want to go again cause all the bad memories it brings up. I haven't tried any medication and where would i go for some medication. I been to the doctor and all they do is ***** my finger and stuff and give me some medicine for my dizzy head. I am going to try a head doctor. Do you think that would work? What is my best option for my problem if i don't want to do theraphy?

Well going to any kind of doctor would be a great start. You are letting your condition worsen into an argraphobic like condition. Soon you will be avoiding going out at all. So get help as early as you can. Some theraphy and some medication. Because you don't want to lock yourself away from the world. Trust me it is not a nice thing to have to do. I done it for over a decade. Not nice been all alone. Having no life at all. Except for the walls of the bedroom. Just think about everything you will be missing out on. That is reason enough to go get help and get your problem sorted out.
