Dizziness/headaches are back ....causing major health anxierty
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi guys I posted a few times recently basically in the middle of August I started feeling lightheaded and having headaches everyday. My doc has said its anxiety and I started taking citalopram 10mg. I had some good days where I actually noticed I hadn't felt lightheaded and now it's back. My doc doesn't know what's wrong with me and has organised a CT scan of my head and given me a higher dose of my iron tablets (I have low ferritin).
I'm just petrified that these symptoms aren't anxiety. If I knew for certain I feel I could deal with them but I'm convinced it's a brain tumour or MS or something and I'm gonna die!! Thing is before I got these symptoms I wasn't depressed/anxious about anything so that's what makes me thing this MUST be bad and not just anxiety.
The thought of feeling like this forever scares the sh*t outa me. I just wanna me a good mum to my one year old this is destroying my life.
Can feeling lifjtheaded/having headaches/buzzing in my head really just be anxiety???? Im convincin myself I'm terminal or something here. Thing is other people would have these symptoms and probably not even give them a second thought.

It's an awful feeling isn't it.
I have suffered from anxiety for years on and off.
It's come back again due to the menopause.
I have had the same feelings as you in my head, anxiety does make you feel like this. I have been getting it a lot recently, light headedness, headache, dizzy, unbalanced feeling, foggy head.. It isn't nice I also feel shaky with it too.
I have never had MRI on my head. I do know what you mean when you think what if it's this or that. I also do this a lot, it is part of the anxiety.
It is best to get it checked out though, good luck with your scan and I really hope you feel better soon.
Best wishes Tina

I was doing really well. I have had a tough year this year and in addition to going through the menopause this has brought all the anxiety back 😔
Hopefully we will all get better real soon, take care x

I must say it has definitely helped me coming on this site.
It does really make a difference when you know others are getting the same sptims as you.
It's good to have contact with others and when you feel bad you have got someone to talk to because sometimes when family and friends haven't been through it they rally don't understand.

I'm doing everything possible to get rid of this in a hollistic approach. I started acupuncture with a chinese doctor who injects vitamin B12 in you. He gave me natural anxiety/panic attack meds. Im eating alot healthier which honestly helps no matter what. I started yoga and i heard that meditation is fantastic to get rid of it. Also i get massages and all of those things help. Dont get hooked on some pill bc you might find a solution else where. Good Luck. I know were not dying and we'll get thru this.
