Feeling spaced out and constantly tired dizziness and irritation
Posted , 69 users are following.
I've been feeling like this for the past 4/5 months now and I'm starting to loose hope I'm so worried that something is seriously wrong with me. It's hard
To describe how I'm feeling as a lot of people don't understand. It's like I can't focus on anything my mind is just constantly spaced out it's like a high/drunk sort of feeling which makes me feel dizzy and abit nauseous. I'm suffering with really bad tiredness with it I just want to sleep all the time I'm not interested in anything or motivated I just feel trapped in this little glass bubble wanting someone to smash it I want to wake up one day and feel normal. I'm also suffering from waking in the night from hot and cold sweats my blood pressure is fine but my pulse is abit too fast which I have been put on propanalol. I just can't focus and this feeling of being out of it is affecting my every day life and I would do anything for this to go. I'm so scared to go for scans and tests incase I have a really bad under lying health issue but everyone keeps telling me that it is related to mental health and that I will get better. I give birth to my LO 10 months ago now and I was told that birth can trigger many mental health issues and I've recently started taking sertraline 50mg for my depression and anxiety... someone please help me I feel like I'm never going to be myself again I just need this fog to clear and I just want to be able to wake up and live normally without struggling.

Hi, have you ever found relief for these symptoms? I'm a 22 year old female and I have been going through the same thing for 6 months now and really starting to worry that the rest of my life is going to be this way. I am constantly spaced out and have a constant pressure in my head and eyes, and I have a faint ringing in my ears. At times I also find my body goes numb and I get dizzy. The worst symptom for me though is the spaced out feeling or "brain fog," no matter what I do it never goes away and because of this I am always extremely anxious. Over the last 6 months I've had blood tests, (my b12 was low but I'm on supplements now and still feel the same) a MRI, sports massages and taken antibiotics for possible sinus infection but nothing helped. Out of desperation I even tried taking anti-depressants even though I knew I wasn't depressed. I am also frustrated that doctors keep assuming the problem is psychological, even the neurologist sent me off with tabs for stress which I've never felt I've needed to use. I then saw a homeopath who made a guess about me having problems with my Adrenal glands, but the tinctures he gave me for this didn't help either. I am now wondering if it may be a vestibular problem? But I'm just so tired of having tests done and never finding anything wrong. I feel so hopeless and as though my life will never be the same again. If anyone could give me some advice or words of encouragement it would be much appreciated.

I'm currently going through the exact same thing... I feel so miserable. Hows your sleep? mines been awful, started taking a nytol for the past two nights. I get head jolts everytime instant to drift off. I seem to feel worse in the morning, totally out of it... weird mind to body sensation, a sort of vibration throughout my body. SO much head pressure.. hard to explain.
I'm so sorry you're suffering too and others, I feel your pain. I've been in tears today xxx

good afternoon and merry Christmas to.you.
I have been suffering with many similar symptoms for about 6 weeks now and I am also concerned by them.
my symptoms started with pain around the eyes and my vision seemed to be getting worse to a point where everything seemed blurry all the time unless it was close reading.
alongside this in was struggling a little with my balance and feeling very spaced out and not with it most of the time. I feel very nausea most days, have head pressure and some days feel dizzy and a little disorientated. I also feel chills and sometimes sweating, notice I have a rapid heartbeat and feel tired. most days my stomach seems to churn most of the day particularly at night.
I.went for an eye test about 4 weeks ago and was.diagnosed with myopia (short sightedness) and have now had glasses for 3 weeks nearly. this has helped with my vision but all of he other symptoms remain. in addition I have noticed that I have started to get body jerks mainly in bed for the least week or 2. I have quite bad health anxiety as I am normally a fit healthy 39 year old male that has always been very active and kept very fit several times per week. in the last 6 weeks since feeling like this I haven't done any exercise other than the standard walking to work etc.
I have so many symptoms I do t know what to make of them. have you found any relief yet?

When I first began having these symptoms I also could not sleep and I also experienced head jolts! I was put on ADCO Zolpidem for insomnia and they would help with me falling asleep but then I would still wake up during the night with the head jolts and head pressure. The head pressure is definitely hard to explain, its more of an uncomfortable feeling and kind of feels like my head is caving in on itself? Fortunately I no longer struggle with sleep but every morning I still wake up with dread knowing that it's another day of being symptomatic and having no explanation for it... Please keep me updated with how you are feeling. I'm sure we can make it through this somehow xx

I'm usually always healthy physically, but I struggle with mental health.. I'm 23 years old that has been dealing with anxiety for a good 8 years now and I always feel spaced out 24/7 along with shortness of breath. For the past three weeks now I been dealing with stomach pains and discomfort in my bellybutton area that is causing me concern. I notice every time I eat now I get full rather very easily and I feel like my chest is tight. I'm always physically worried about my health and this has been a loop for me constantly. I want to see my doctor again, but I feel like I will waste my doctor's time like last time when he diagnosed me when I kept complaining about my throat problem and it was a nasal drip that was irritating my throat. He kept telling me I stress out too much and I should change my lifestyle more, but it's hard to. I just work full time and go home. It's the same routine, I barely go out now due to the virus so I only go out when I really have to. I'm not sure how to tell my mind that everything will be okay. I never had any help with my anxiety disorder and I feel like my symptoms got even more worst.. I also feel detached a lot too. It's like a cycle that never ends.

It is normal to experience health problems when having children. The most common thing is weight gain, we both know that. The mental state can also be affected by having children. It will get better over time, it could be a hormonal thing. Its natural for women to experience these things. Just remain focused and keep jogging on, and over time things will get back to normal for you. Not enough sleep can also affect mental health.

This literally feels like I couldve typed that out. About one month after I had my son, every single day I would (and still) feel "out of it" and spaced out. I don't know what to do and I feel like something is really wrong with me or I'm going insane. I feel like I can't do anything and it's making me so depressed that I feel this way every day all day. Did you ever find something that helped you???

hey I so so know where your coming from.i feel that exact same way now for the last 4-5 months now.mine started after I got a bad cold and it didn't away for like 2 and a half weeks and 2 rounds of antibiotics.when I got sick it was 3 years ago and ever since then I had this same problem but the last 4-5 months now it's been like ever other day now.i went to the doctors only to be told it's dehydration or my fibromyalgia that I have.i own a business so I talk to a lot of people from all over and all walks of life and I hate to say it but we are not alone feeling like this.i know lots of people who either have it or know someone who does and they got the same weird diagnosis of dehydration.doesn't make any sense to me though.iv been drinking tons of water lately for. the last week and no difference what so ever!

I first went through this about 5-6 months ago, and again now. What everyone has been describing here is spot on. Just a chronic spacey, dizzy, lightheaded feeling sprinkled with some depersonalization/derealization. I'm constantly exhausted as well even after sleeping for 8+ hours
I first noticed something was off when I begun having weird auditory sensations. Like a muffled/underwater/hearing loss sound accompanied by ringing that lasted several seconds. This is something i'd experience occasionally (once in a blue moon), but it started to happen more frequently the week prior to the above symptoms. I would also experience lightheaded sensations randomly a few times a day as well as some inner ear pain.
Then one day an hour after waking up, all of the symptoms being described in this thread were present.
I gave it a week hoping things would improve but no such luck. I decided to go to the doctor in case it was inner-ear related. No infection. Gave it another week, no improvement. Went to another doctor, was told it was likely anxiety related. I powered through and did my best to live my life normally even though i mostly felt like crap.
Then one day I woke up and felt fine.
I wish i could pinpoint exactly when this was but i cant. The only thing i can say for sure is that my symptoms lasted for about 2 or 3 months.
Fast forward to last week. I'm lying in bed trying to fall asleep and i get the muffled/underwater/ringing noise. I had forgotten that my last episode began with this so i didnt think anything of it. A few days later and all of the symptoms have reappeared.
I want to cry because I thought this was over with. Just a day before I got the auditory sensation, I closed the tabs on my computer from when i was first researching this and thought "i'm so glad that went away." I guess i jinxed it lol.
I'm going to start taking vitamin D to see if that helps. It started to get nice outside at the same time my symptoms went away before, so i'm really hoping there's a correlation there.
I also might see an ENT specialist to see if perhaps theres something going on in my ear canal as i've been noticing some pretty intense ear pain recently.
Love and light to everybody here. We'll get through this 😃
