I've been feeling ill since the beginning of March. I've got pain in the one side of my head, I'm light headed and foggy headed daily and I mean daily it's getting me down now, I have a whooshing sound in the same ear the head pain is on especially when I'm lying down. I'm seeing a cardiologist this week but I feel it's something to do with my head. I've asked my doctor to refer me to a nurolagist and she said no because it's health anxiety. I feel like I cant get passed her and I really don't know what to do. I'm only 29 so my quality of life shouldn't be like this at such a young age. I feel so ill. Somedays I'm shaky. Doctor started me on fluoxetine I'm on day 22 today but I still feel the same as I did when I first started them if not a little worser. Anyone got any suggestions I could really do with the help. I'm so frightened incase it is something more serious.

    Nothing you have said gives reason for her to send you to a cardiologist. A neurologist sounds a much better option and they normally start off with thorough physical examination and blood tests. Doctors who dish out Prozac so easily are best avoided. .

      Most my doctors I've seen keep dishing out anti depressants to me. I feel so ill. I don't think this is anxiety : -(
