always feel lightheaded and dizzy

[DIZZYGRL]

Hi I'm 25 female and I have been told by my doctor that i have a panic disorder. I am always lightheaded and feeling dizzy. I feel like I could pass out at any second. This is ruining my life. Im scared to do anything alone. I cant go to a grocery store, mall, nothing. I am too scared that I'm going to pass out and I have tried to overcome it but I cant. As soon as I get into a place I get so dizzy and my vision is all messed up. I get so hot and sweaty and my heart races. I want my life back. I still dont believe that its just anxiety causing all of this. I feel like I have something else wrong that the doctors cant find even though i have had bloodwork, mri, ekg, and they were all normal. I started taking .25mg of xanax once a day. still dont feel any better yet. So if anybody has any help please give it to me. I feel like i have hit rock bottom

Hi guys,

So ive been under extreme stress of late and I cant really determine whether im experiencing anxiety or a burnout but I CAN say I know how you all feel. Last year I just finished my honours degree finals and was knocked down by terrible viral infection. I returned to work just a little too early which I fear actually made it worse. On 1 January this year I was back at the doctor with a completely blocked ear which needed syringing. It was incredibly painful!!! Just a few weeks after that and whilst writing my next batch of exams I got a cold. Just an ordinary cold or so I thought. I never recovered fully. Felt exhausted, run down and then the dizziness started. It interfered with my driving even. Then I suddenly got this photophobia, pain at the top of my neck, nausea, tension in my head and weakness. It hit me at work and I literally had to concentrate not to pass out. For several days I felt terrible! I went back to the doc who suspected possible meningitis. I was treated symptomatically at the time. Then on the weekend I experienced one of those days again where it felt like someone whacked me over the head. I was bedridden for about 6 hours. I suspected migraines so I bought a migraine pack. Gees it made me feel so drugged up and I couldn't fall asleep so I was completely high and floating around for hours! Then it was gone.

The reason I've ruled out serious illness is because of the trend I've noticed lately. 1. when I google symptoms I suddenly experience them 100x worse! 2. if im distracted I don't feel sick 3. ive had tests on my iron and thyroid which came up fine. My blood pressure and sugar are stable and im not showing signs of bacteria or infection either. I even went for an eye test and the doc said my eyes are just strained from extensive computer use at work. And she said she cant see pressure built behind my eye that would indicate a tumour.

Mental sicknesses are much worse than physical sicknesses because if you are physically sick and keep a strong mental attitude you can recover much quicker whereas a mental sickness requires a new outlook altogether.

Im back to writing exams again soon and im just taking life one step at a time. I acknowledge that these symptoms are probably controllable by my mind. I try to keep a positive outlook but its so easy to fall into the negative trap! Just keep telling yourself im healthy, eventually you'll believe it! It takes 21 days to break a habit so im really trying to get into a good mindset that I can use to get over this hurdle.

Get your Vitamins A and D. Lots of C too. All the Toxic Chemicals are stripping our minerals and Vitamins. Especially Glyphosate in Round up. It is a Binder and it Binds to our Vital Nutrients and literally strips them out of our bodies. We never heard of this many people having the same dam symptoms before POISON became the everywhere norm. Like it is now.

Your problem could be caused by borreliosis ( Lyme ) or Chlamydia, yeast ( Candida ) - let you do both ELISA and WB ( Western Blot ) blood tests + MRI to exclude multiple sclerosis , if everything negative , it is only appropriate and Anxiety depersonalization . Lyme or Chlamydia can cause anxiety and other nice symptoms. I have all test negative, and my symptoms -> feel like drunk or another word (24*7), tinnitus, muscle fasticulation, strange vision and strange feeling in head and very weir vision like 2D, or unreal

Thanks for giving me hope, I'm 15 years old and I suffer this everyday, its not nice at all, I didn't sleep well last night and I've woke up at six this morning, I thought it might have been depression but obviously not. I had my first panic attack when I was about 11/12 years old, and I smoked weed with my friends once and I took one again, and then I smoked more weed a few months after and I took another one so I stopped with the weed completely. I moved country from Scotland to Ireland and I left behind my friends and family, so maybe that has something to do with it?                           as we speak I feel sick and not normal at all, I've felt like this for about 3 to 4 weeks now and its horrible.. I was taking a sort of panic attack while reading this and its calmed me down, thanks again!
