dizzy/light headed/head pain/sensitivity..

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.

Anxiety is hell. I've been through it myself due to health issues. I know no one wants to be on meds, but you should try getting a prescription for Trazadone. It is one of the safest medications out there, and can help you sleep at night. It definitely helped me. It won't really make you feel tired, but it will let you sleep through the night. If you do try it and feel tired, you may want to down the dosage Give it a try. Another thing that helped me get through the anxiety **** was taking my dog for a short 1-2 mile walk. Just to be outside helped. My heart goes out to you It seems like hell now, but you will get through it. If I got through it you can too.
