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 thought the same thing when I first start having problems with anxiety. I couldn't remember where I was or what I was doing. I felt like I was actually dying even though I wasn't. I didn't know how to control it & I didn't like that. I went to my doctor & got put on medicine...it didn't work so they prescribed me something else which helped me really well. I didn't have anxiety attacks but once or twice in the 3 or 4 months that I took it which was good for me since I usually had them a lot each day. I also went to see a therapist who was great. I got through it all & still have issues today partly because I stopped taking the medicine before I was supposed to. I was trying to get pregnant & ended up getting pregnant a few months later so I haven't talked to my doctor about prescribing it to me again. Now I've got to the point where I have trouble sleeping as well & have nightmares like with stuff out of horror movies so I'm trying to talk about it & get through it. I wish you luck.

Since I was 17 ( I am 27 now ) I have always been dizzy and somewhat sick to my stomache early in the morning. I had anxiety spells here and there which I thought was only related to stress from work. About 2 years ago, these occassional experiences became severe and pressing. I was in the shower and had such an intese panic attack that I had to get out and try and figure what to do next. I was on the phone with my family trying to weigh my options for treatment. My general doctor prescriped effexor which made me even more sick to my stomache. I then went to a specialist which perscribed lexipro, ambien and xanax which made me cry my eyes out because I am a bit of a naturalist and couldnt believe the amount of percriptions nneded to mask these feelings... yet no one even mentioned therapy??? Lexipro made me feel weird and my insomnia went through the roof. I am now taking celexa which I love but did it did effect my sleeping pattern at first so I have to take it in the morning. I think that my focus on breathing and taking deep breaths has helped along with counseling however I am still light headed on a daily basis. I feel like Im somewhat in a bubble and have sharp pains in my head time to time. I feel like I have learned to live with it but I still continue to search for answers. I just want to go back to feeling how I did before all of these changes. It could be as simple as unbalanced chemical levels in the brain or something larger, which I analyze way too much and google way too much haha. I hope this is helpful. All of your stories make me feel less alone in all of the confusion.
All the best,
Allison

I had been having heart palpitations and an uncomfortable feeling in my chest for about 2 months now.  Out of no where I've been having head problems.  I feel pressure on my head on both the sides and the to... I get lightheaded/dizzy sometimes a little nauteous... I have been having pain in my neck and it just doesn't seem to go away... I've been worried ever since and it seems to be making it worse.  My fear has gone from having a possible heart condition to now possibly having something wrong with my head... All the while my chest is fine now since I've become obsessed with my head problems... Is this anxiety? I've always had worries about my health but it hadn't really been a main concern of my everyday life until the chest problems... I'm scared that there might be something wrong with my head now.. My eyes have been feeling heavy... I'm really worried.. My mom has been saying its anxiety and its not just a coincidence that my chest problems have gone away while my head/brain worries have just started... I just don't know.
