dizzy/light headed/head pain/sensitivity..

[Shooped]

Well this all started 4 months ago, start of february.  Was playing pc games like always (very addicted) was constantly on the pc for a year prior to these feelings.  One night I just all of a sudden started to feel dizzy and light headed I got cold rush over my body/shaking and I thought the worst was imminent.

I'm still here 4 months later but still worry as much as ever (is it a brain tumour or aneurysm)are just the thoughts I dont need but cant get rid of.  The doctor has since given me anti depressants(fluoxetine) but I dont want to be on them.

The constant dizzy/light headed feeling is gone but I get a few second spells of it sometimes, my head feels sensitive to touch, hair movement can sometimes feel different/discomfort (lol weird i know) cant wear hats because of it!  Weighted/heaviness at the top of my head, its the first thing I think of when I get up and the last thing I think of when I get to sleep!  Anyway I realise i worry too much but I cant get rid of the serious health doubts, even though it probably is just anxiety and the depression.  Maybe stress I don't know anymore.  

Also sometimes I feel my heart like jump out of my chest, then again im skinny so I probably feel every minute thing that goes on in my body and think the worst.

I know your post is old and you may not even get this message but maybe someone else will. I also have had pain and scalp pain for 4 months now.It hurts to brush, wash or move my hair in anyway. I have suffered from anxiety in the past but it may still be resinating with me. I have been to 4 doctor's including a neurologist and with a clear cat scan know one is telling me I have anything life threatening. I am going back to the Doctor on 11/6 that diagnosed me with anxiety issues 8 years ago when I lost a husband to cancer at the age of 33. If this is stress i'm sure he will be able to help me. I took Paxil in the past and will difinitly go back on it if he thinks it will get rid of this pain. I am so tired of feeling bad and just pray to get better soon.

I have a lot of the same symptoms. Strange pressures in my head that come out of no where and make me feel like an anuerysm is imminent. Light headed. Lost weight no appetite. I know its anxiety but wow is it hard to control. I've had everything done but a brain scan. Abdominal scans. A heart cath. All kinds of stuff. They put me on. Celexa which all but got rid of them. Now I've been weined off the celexa and its back. Pressure in the neck and dry mouth is horrible. Constantly feeling sick. I never want to go anywhere for fear of something happening. I've been taking klonopan again which helps some but doesn't get rid of it completely. Its a horrible feeling. Especially the sensations in the head and the watery left eye and the feeling on he left side of the head that extends to my left eye. Almost like its numb..but its not...I guess maybe its better to.say the area around it feels full...I just wish it would go away...if anyone want to talk about it get a hold of me. ***@****

When you are feeling dizzy it is probably that you are not breathing right and may have hyperventilated.  Try this method:  4444 - breath in for four counts, hold your breath for 4 counts, and breath out for 4 counts, then do nothing for 4 counts.  This helps regulate your breathing and your dizziness should go away.  Also when you are panicking look around the room and focus on something and describe it in detail and keep doing that until you feel better.  Also try going outside and focusing on nature as you are getting sun on your face this helps me a lot.

Tv and computer screens sets off my anxiety if I'm looking at them too much.  I think the flickering of the screen stresses out my already sensitive brain.  Just lay off the pc for a while and see if you feel better and then just go on them for short periods only.  Spend time outside in the sunshine and you'll feel better. God bless!

Man what you just tell is exactly what i been through. i developed all this anxiety from smoking pot 2 years ago i thought i couldnt breath and since that day i been with anxiety. Every 6 months i think i have some kind of illness or something. I had a EKG, Stress Test, they checked my heart and everything was fine. Now im with this weird feeling on my head like if i was on a boat kind of dizzyness also been having neck pain 24/7 for the last few months. I feel im not me anymore and i regrest 1000000 times what i did 2 years ago. The only way we can calm ourself is that we r not the only ones like this. We just have to control our mind buit i know is hard just hold tight. I also feels every day is going to be my last day alive.
