Constant light-headed feeling. Anxiety
Posted , 50 users are following.
Hello everyone
I've been dealing with a light-headed feeling since I first got a panic attack in July 7th. Ever since then I've had a few panic attacks. I've been checked for everything! Brain MRI and MRA, Brain CT Scan, Multiple EKGs during ER visits, a 27/7 holter monitor (EKG), A stress test together with an ecochardiogram (heart ultrasound), multiple blood tests. EVERYTHING IS NEGATIVE.
Panic attacks and migranes have subsided 
. The only symptom that is still present is the light-headed feeling 24/7. It has gotten a lot better, but I'm not back to normal yet (it has been five months). I've been taking 5-HTP, Magnesium, and B-12/B-6 Vitatmines (as I've done some research and found it that these supplements help). I've also beeing doing therapy and I just started working out two weeks ago (sometimes I feel worse after working out)
Is there anything else I should be doing to beat this terrible feeling? Can you share your experience with me? what makes it better?
Thank you for your time and support

Hello:
I am experiencing the same symptoms, waking up lightheaded everyday and with anxiety, like electricity going thru my body specially my legs and chest and doesn't go away. I went to the doctor (Cardiologist ) did an Electrocardiogram , stress test and eco , everything came negative, the only thing was a bit of high BP and triglycerides. they gave me 2.5MG of Vasotec and 80MG of Tricor. everything seems to be fine blood pressure 105/79 but the anxiety just doesn't go away . any suggestions , Thanks

If you know for sure its anxiety, stay busy. I stay active, walks at lunch, reading, i take the stairs at work. It's going to take a while until you feel better.

I agree with the comment about staying busy. If I am heavily involved in some project I tend to not notice any anxiety while I'm engaged. When I wake up at 4 a.m. it's another story.
I also must admit, when I stay away from coffee and alcohol, my anxiety is much more under control. Hang in there. My sister suffered from the same condition and she claims that being aware of it and accepting it helped her deal with it.

Hello, how is everyone doing? It's been 5-6 years since we talked on this thread. Anyone still experience Lightheadedness or Heavyheadedness?

whenever i have anxiety I feel lightheaded and it makes me worry. What works for me is to stop focusing on it and go out for a walk with a friend or phone a friend.

Hi just want to ask. Have you tried CBT? It was very helpful for me.
