Feel dizzy like i will pass out and weird head sensations
Posted , 5 users are following.
I suffer from health anxiety for a while and have had various symptoms, they range from blurry vision, heart palpitation, chest pain, hand and feet numbness and dizziness where i feel like i will pass out unconscious. I have had several tests including holter monitor, ecocardiogram chest x rays and blood tests.
I saw a neurologist about 15 months ago however i wasnt experiencing these smpytoms then and went to him for dizziness and feeling unbalanced, he did order a mri non contrast and it was normal.
However recently i started experiencing these symptoms I feel a constant dizziness and sometimes feel like i will pass out, i feel it everyday and its worse when i bend forward and get up. Then this added on to my symptoms i get tightness in my head and pressure like sensation and feel like i cant control my left hand and vision seems blurry and weird. I went to the ER when this happened two weeks ago and it was normal, also had a ct scan contrast for hand numbness 4 mths before this, not for these smyptoms it was normal.
Now I experience the same symptoms but i also feel like if a fluid is running down inside my head and my ears feel like if it has fluid too I fear I have an aneurysm or something, called my doctor and he said its anxiety, since my ct scan was normal. Can anxiety cause this im worried im having bleeding and its causing this feeling. Its terrible and worried this liquid feeling in my heads thats running and in my ears its a broken blood vessel, but my doctor says its anxiety and have started cbt since, the ssri tried 6 of them all give me bad side effects.
Can anyone with anxiety ever got this head tightness, pass out feeling and like if fluid is running down dripping in your head, and also ears feel wet like if fluid is inside.
I also experience tremors, and doctor said my neuro is normal and no need for another referral to a neurologist its all anxiety

I get this dizziness almost all the time too, sometimes i also feel like i will pass out unconscious seizure like from it. Sometimes i just turn my head or move fast will get it too, does that happen with you?I also get body tremors have you experienced this?
Do you also get this head pressure feeling your head, i find its more prevalent when getting up suddenly, and feel dizzy also i feel like my hands go numb.
Yeah i recently started getting that wet feeling in my head and ear and feel dizzy too im scared its bleeding in my head since i get dizzy and feel like i will pass out, is your vision also affected i see slanted with mine.
But my doctor keeps saying you had an mri that a neurologist ordered 15 months ago but was wasnt experience some of the symptoms then, that was normal and he said his neuro assessment of me is normal no need referral again, and had one contrast ct scan in 5 months, two non contrast one 3 weeks ago, he said it would have shown weakened spots if was proned to bleeding there. I find this hard to believe anxiety causes this.

omg, this is soooo similar to what I feel.
I m dizzy all the time, already for 4 months. it can go away sometimes for several hours but it gets back. I also feel pressure in my left side of the brain, as if I feel a blood vessel pulsating. It doesn't ever hurt, it's just this slight sensation. Sometimes I feel super weak and it's hard to breathe. As well I might feel my right foot getting numb for a couple of minutes. I feel like I might faint. It's hard to concentrate and it's hard to listen to other people speak to me, it's a feeling of confusion.
I used to experience hypertensive crises for several months, from last December until the end of March. Then I had 2 more episodes in September and it kind of stopped.
From the beginning of May 2020 and until the very end of this month I was dizzy too. It just disappeared at some point, but started feeling it again in October... and still feeling it today, but I feel like today I felt the worst.
I went to a lot of doctors, I had an MRI to my head but only in January 2020, and without contrast. it was good, but now I think maybe something has changed and I want to do it again with contrast.
I also am very afraid it might be aneurysm, because I feel numbness and weakness and difficulty breathing.
the last Neurologist I went to said that I don't need an MRI because I don't LOOK like being dizzy. LIKE WHAT THE FUUUCK. Do I have to be literally dying so that doctors would believe my symptoms? it's ridiculous and frightening for me to live on a daily basis with it.
I hope you are good! If you have any questions, ask me!

I also get a numbness feeling in my right foot a lot, its numb right now infact. i also get a numb feeling down my right buttock as well. the doctors literally brush me off and look at me as if im insane, im 6 months in.

Does anyone also get this feeling, like the pain alternates from one side of the head to the other, and feels like a raw pain, and feel worse and pressure when lying on your side, or when bending forward it feels worse like i will faint and pass out and a throbbing feeling. I also get a feeling like fluid is running down inside my head and my ears feel wet and cold when I walk, also numbness in hands and feet. My doctor told my i had a Holter monitor which was normal, I had a ct scan with contrast 5 months which would have shown any weakening, and also had one two weeks ago non contrast, that i definitely don't have an aneurysm and its all anxiety and should resume my ssri treatment.
I have tried the ssri and also wants me to try buspar.
