I have had problems with anxiety since I was 11 years old, I managed to realize them only when I was 13 years old and I started having panic attacks, they were very rare and not severe but I was always afraid to go to different places and felt dizzy when I went there for no particular reason..at 13 I had my first episode of severe dizziness, including when I was lying in bed like a vertigo..then I discovered that I needed glasses and I started wearing glasses, since I was little I have a very big fear tests and I didn't want to go anymore because every time I went for tests I fainted.. time passed and I still felt bad when I went to some places and I was always anxious and scared, especially of heights because it is my biggest fear great, at the mall I also had a huge fear and then things became serious when I was 16 years old, I had problems with my family and with a very toxic ex-boyfriend, but I don't know if that was what triggered this condition... I developed agoraphobia and I was locked in the house for several months, I was afraid that I would always pass out and I didn't want to do anything, I had constant panic attacks and I had a lot of strange moods... finally I left the house after I I talked to a psychologist but things were never the same.. I started to be able to go only in some comfort zones, I could no longer go very far from home, I only went where I felt safe.. since then I developed and the so-called visual snow and tinnitus in the ears 24/7, I started to have constant dizziness and a general feeling of nausea and sickness.. since then 2 years have passed and I tried to live my life as I could but things came worse now..I had a very important exam and then I started having a kind of vertigo again but I tried to put it on the basis of fear and this vertigo became very severe..for 2 months I have been stuck in bed and if I turn my head a little, I'm terribly dizzy and I have a continuous state of fainting.. I went to the emergency room several times and it was recommended that I go to a psychiatrist, my symptoms are so many and strange that I wonder if I have something more serious. .I will list the symptoms and I am curious if anyone has experienced this before: very strong pressure in the head and in the ears, feeling of dizziness/vertigo/hearing too loud with the ears or too slowly, tinnitus, blocked ears, visual snow, a whitish fog on the eyes and I can barely see, palpitations, constant feeling of fainting, headache between the eyes (sometimes), the dizziness is the worst and the fact that I see everything blurry, sometimes I also get migraines with aura and I feel nauseous especially in the morning.. the state of fainting is again persistent 24/7.. the state of weakness and all this makes me unable to get out of bed and not be able to live my life, has anyone else experienced this? I mention that I have never taken pills for anxiety and I don't even know if it could be something serious.. they recommended an MRI but I'm very afraid and I can't stay there... I don't know what to do anymore, what do you think? have you had similar symptoms?
