Ive been dizzy and stressed for a few months
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, i first started suffering anxiety symptoms around 4 years ago but it was mostly panic in my chest, tight band around my chest and depression, shaking and didnt want to go out. It took around 2 years to completely go and ive been fine since then until january this year. I had a dizzy episode and my blood pressure was slightly raised and this made me panic so much that i was making it worse. I had at least 4 nights lack of sleep. Doc gave me a short course of diazepam which help calm u down. Started to ease after around 2 months until we went away and our daughter had a seizure which led to 6 more seizures and she was airlifted to hospital in Cornwall. I have been a mess ever since. Shes fine but i keep watching her in case it happens again, i keep going dizzy and my ears feel blocked but doc sayas they are fine. Every time i start to feel better my daughter has another moment where i think she is going to fit and i start panicking all over again and worrying about my blood pressure. I am 45 and think im getting menopause symptoms. Would like to hear of other peoples symptoms to compare. I feel like i need constant reassurance that im going to be ok. Keep thinking theres something seriously wrong with me. I eat fairly healthy, i eat a lot of spinach and avocados etc. I get head tremors some times and get spotting and my periods are sometimes a day early and last a bit longer. Feel like im scared to get in shower in case i go dizzy. I never used to be like this, was always strong

You may want to explore Borrelia as a possible cause of your daughter's seizures and your symptoms. A specialised pathology in the US can test the blood. Borrelia can be passed from generation to generation (not just insects) presenting with different symptoms. There are FB sites with info if you type in Borrelia or the other more common name of the disease. Good news is that it can be treated.

A lot of people recommend Menopace on this forum as a supplement. And exercise has got to be the most recommended thing to help symptoms. Also reduce alcohol, caffeine, sugar. I have never experienced dizziness except as a consequence of anemia, so I don't have any advice, really, except you might ask your doctor if you can be referred to a neurologist. But tons of people experience dizziness during menopause, so the neurologist probably won't find anything. But he might be cute, you never know (if it's a he, and if that's what ya like!)
Courage to you lea, you aren't alone. This is a great place to go to vent, women on this forum are so nice and supportive.

It is awful having anxieties and not sleeping well then having your daughter get sick just adds more stress to your anxieties and blood pressure.
I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter has seizures it must be hard. I'm so sorry you are having a lot of anxieties and stress with this and that you have been feeling dizzy.
You should get checked out by your doctor because if your blood pressure is up that could be the reason why you are having the dizziness
You may need to be on blood pressure
