So, I have no idea what’s wrong with me anymore. I’m constantly dizzy and lightheaded it seems to get worse throughout the day, like before bed when I’m just starting to drift off I get a weird sensation in the back of my head and my vision goes blurry and I sway for a few seconds or I’ll jolt awake, this has just started happening. I have sudden stabbing pains in my head but not all the time. I feel like I have pressure behind my eyes and they will twitch and water. I have head pressure in the back of my head and a sore neck, everytime I stand or move suddenly I’ll get a weird throbbing sensation in the back of my head/neck and I’ll have to put pressure on it with my hand to feel some relief. The back of my head is so tender from doing this Every. Single. Day. I have been to the doctor, chiropractor and a counsellor. They have all said its stress, depression, grief and anxiety. My chiropractor has also said my spine isn’t how it should be. But I can’t help thinking it’s something worse because of my anxiety. I’m scared to go get tests done because I don’t want them to find something seriously wrong. I feel like I’m going to faint everytime I hear about stuff going on like that or reading about it. I’m a hypochondriac. I have no idea what to do anymore. I’ve had anxiety for years but these past couple months have been really bad. I’ve been dealing with the process of buying a house and I’ve also had a lot of death in my life so I know that could be a main reason as to why I feel like this. I just don’t feel like myself anymore. I don’t have the motivation to do anything anymore, I can’t drive or go for long drives without thinking I’m going to die, I don’t want to be at work anymore, I can’t even be alone without thinking somethings going to happen to me. I’m just so sick of this. I’m on Lorazepam, it helps a bit but I’m scared to take anything else. Everyone in my life says I’m just overthinking but they don’t understand how I feel everyday. I just wish this could all go away and I could go back to living a normal life.

    be careful with Lorazepam ,it's very addictive , after a few weeks of use you'll be hooked and hard to reverse .

    I suggest you see a ENT doctor to check your ears/inner and sinus infections that could be causing your vertigo like problems.

    I went through this before.
