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.

Anxiety is scary s*it and health anxiety has always been my thing too.
All the best and try to relax, (I know it is hard too), or try to distract yourself to give your brain/emotions a break.

when you get this light head does your ears or one of them ache and feel blocked at all ? This happens to me.

I never have ear ache with my lightheadedness, maybe you have some mild ear infection.
My lightheadedness seems worse when I am on stairs for some reason, which doesn't help as there are alot in my workplace.

Im booking my appt for my brain CT scan today which terrifies me. i just keep imagining them finding somehitng and my little boy growing up without me, which is a very pessimistic way to think, i know.
Just want to feel better, be a good mum and not be a nightmare to live with because i always feel ill. Some days i wake up in a good mood and other days, i will start feeling lightheaded/headachy and thats it im in a stinker of a mood all day because i cant switch off from it. My boyfriend is sick of me No one understands or listens to me apart from you lovely people on here x
