Head tingling, balance and vision issues

Posted , 4 users are following.

Never felt so alone, the symptoms i am experiencing are so scary that i feel like i am going to die, night times are the worse at the minute, so I'm wondering if anyone else experiences any of this!

Not long after covid hit us all, I became very off balance, and felt like my head was swimming all the time, like pressure, I couldn't concentrate on anything without me thinking I was moving inside my head, if that makes any sense! Walking felt so strange, so off balance and I did not feel with it at all. My vision became very jumpy, which didn't help with my balance, three months later it seemed to have disappeared 😕.

However, it is now back, eyes jumpy, tremors when trying to go to sleep, sometimes when standing, pressure in head, can't concentrate, it's like my body and mind are out of sync and I am trapped! I also get tingling, head, arms, face, legs, muscle twitches! A strange falling sensation in my eyes, hard to explain! It's like adrenaline is trapped in my body and I don't know how to make it stop! I don't feel myself, no hunger because of it, its like a vicious circle! Bloods are all fine. Waiting on ENT 🙄, could be months!

Anyone else experience any of this???

    yes, I’ve had all of those sensations all due to stress and anxiety. All my testing was normal. Everybody should have a complete physical exam at least once a year so if you haven’t had one in a while that be a good idea. Try to reduce the anxiety as much as you can. exercise, meditation, deep, breathing, stay active to avoid overthinking.

    Hello,

    If this is of any help what you describing is very familiar to me. Head swimming sensation, off balance and pressure which feels like someone has wrapped a belt around your head. These symptoms develop gradually in me when in an environment where I feel under threat (I cannot control this - it just happens). I believe a lot of this is caused by tension, the fuzzy feeling in the head is very hard to describe to others who don't experience the same.

    I was that worried have seen a Neuro and had MRI scan - all came back clear which surprised me as the sensation was so intense - almost knocking me off my feet ! Have since been prescribed with Sertraline (3 years) but this makes little difference to me (other than dehydrating) - I still get the dreaded Brain fog and head tightness - just try and cope with it and take some comfort in knowing is nothing sinister.
