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.

The first panic attack sucks, mainly because it sets you up for more to come.  It's like a wake up call for your body to look for things wrong with it.  But the problem is there is nothing wrong with it.  Mine started about 5 months ago at night also.  I had a giant cup of coffee that night and my heart was racing like crazy.  I wasn't used to that feeling and it caused so much fear in me that I had a panic attack.  Since then, I've been on the lookout for anything and everything wrong with me.  Honestly, every doctor in the world could tell me I'm fine, but it just makes me feel like they didn't look hard enough.  I think my brain won't be happy until it DOES find something wrong with it!!!  Stupid brain.......

PS- What games do you play on the PC?  I'm a pretty hardcore gamer myself..
