Extreme Brain fog / Lightheadedness / Head pressure for 10 days...
Posted , 8 users are following.
For 10 days straight.. I've had Brain fog / Lightheadedness / Head pressure( Forhead/back/left/right side/ and recently my neck and back of head has been soar.. but for 4 months or so ive had muscle tension all over my body in which I would find my facial cheeks /shoulders / arms / legs constantly tensed up..). But the lightheadedness / brain fog / head pressure.. It hasn't left at all.. It hasn't got worse or better most of the time.. Some days I do feel 20-30% better to the point where I can watch youtube on my phone but most days its bad to where I cant function. I noticed when I wake up it isnt their 50-70% but it gets worse maybe 30 minutes to an hour later in the day..
I went to the ER after it started and didnt go away for 24 hours. They did a MRI/EKG all clear.. Said it was stress / Anxiety. Gave me a Xanax and I felt way better.. I could function. Before.. I had to stay in bed all day with my eyes shut 24/7. The ER Doctor gave me 5 Xanax doses just to get me through until I see a GP doctor. It got me through and I was able to function and I only had very little brain fog.. Everything else was gone.
I went to the follow up doctor and he's going to do a full blood work test(As he thinks my thyroid function is low).. But he only prescribed me Welbutrin. He refused to give Xanax. He wouldnt give me anything for the Lightheadedness / brain fog / Head pressure. So now I have to suffer and stay in bed all day with my eyes shut for a week.
Nothing has worked.. Tynenol / Motrin.. Only excederin tension headache has helped me (30-40% but the brain fog remains) But it has 65mg caffein per dose which gives me really bad anxiety. Anyone ever have this problem? What over the counter drugs helped?
I do believe it is anxiety if Xanax is working.. So it might be tension related.. But the brain fog is always their.. Just not as bad. Ide appreciate any advice / help
Ive been suffering from anxiety since 2011.. But it recenlty came back in september.. It started with me getting my car and I couldnt feel the steering wheel untill 2-3 seconds later.. things got slow.. felt a delay in sense of touch. I got really brain foggy and lightheaded. That happened 2-3 times this past 7 months(2 times when I sat in my car and another time recently after I got up).. And anxiety always follows. My typical anxiety symptoms is ( Chest pain / Lower throat pain / Heart flutters / palpitations / racing heart / Brain fog / cold feet and hands / Body jolts sometimes.. Shakiness) But recently these new sypmtomss ( head pressure / Lightheadedness and brain fog has started almost 24/7 ) Is this really anxiety? The ER / GP Doctor / nurses / Ambulance thought so.

I have many of the same issues, so I will list mine.Maybe this will help you
Legs shaky,jittery, and jerk really badly
Palpatations
Feet become cold and go numb
I have lost 20 pounds in the last 2 months. Many times do not feel like eating
Head full of pressure
Faisal pressure above eyes in forehead and pressure in the cheeks. This creates plugged ear that t hold my nose and blow to get rid the the pressure. All of this facial pressure and head pressure gives me fizzy spells and feeling off balance most of the time
My lips get all buzzy kinda like pins and needles .
This starts the moment I wake up even before my eyes are open. Walk around
.
Like my legs will not carry me. And that anxious awfull feeling.
So there it is.......daily in my life.
And tomorrow I am having a cardiac ablation for my tachycardia (SVT) that started in Feb.
Could life get any better????????

Back in 2011 when I had anxiety they said I have it (under active thyroid) but refused medication and I was ok for 5 years( I think lifestyle changes helped (cleaned up my diet / gym / more sleep / vitamins / no caffein / no overworking ) until recently. But I think not seeking help for my stress and anxiety made my thyroid condition worse

Brain fog For me feels like I'm muddled and impaired. It is hard to concentrate and sometimes I don't feel like I'm their and that things are going slow. It's really hard to explain between Lightheadedness.

What do you think? It's anxiety or just thyroid issues?
