Lightheaded or weird head feeling EVERYDAY!

I’ve been feeling real lightheaded for the past month and I’m worried that there’s something wrong with my brain. I suffer from severe health anxiety and I can’t help but think that there’s something wrong with me. It comes in waves, for example, sometimes I won’t really feel it but then at times it feels like I’m about to pass out but I never do. Today I was working outside helping my dad and my vision suddenly fades into black and slowly fades out. This is the same thing I would see when I get up too fast from my bed or something. I’m worried, I don’t wanna die yet. I still haven’t even finished high school. Anybody else going through this? 😕

      Have you had your blood pressure take sitting then standing to see if your blood pressure drops when standing?

      No, I haven’t tried that yet. I also don’t own a monitor... but im constantly being told it’s anxiety but it feels like something more than that. I just want to feel NORMAL again. And every time I talk to somebody about it, they say it’ll go away quit thinking about it, it’s anxiety but it never does.

      get your doctor to take your blood pressure? I felt like you felt lightheaded and felt like walking on a trampoline brain fog everything looked weird l didn't like going into supermarkets l felt like I was rocking and swaying on the spot l thought it was my ears causing the problem l went to see a ENT done some test he told me it was not my ears causing the problem He sent me for vestibular exercises what did help ! I went to see a audiology she asked me questions and test done she told me anxiety is a funny thing .She said l had a trauma in my life causing anxiety and stress building up in my body anxiety can take all different forms l was but on medication I'm alot better and l was still doing vestibular exercises. Did anything happened to you before all this started

    Although you might not believe it because neither do I lol your fine.. I too am trying to figure this all out I have the same exact symptoms and I get dizzy my vision fades and I feel weak like I'm about to faint it's kind of daily and if I'm cleaning or moving too much I get this awful feeling.. I had my blood work done everything fine I'm still confused on why I feel this way when I get like that I check my blood pressure with the bp machine and it's in normal range so I'm like huhhh my blood pressure isn't high so what's the problem.. I really don't know I just know anxiety can make you feel all sorts of ways

    Hi Alex,

    I get the exact same symptoms I'm 95% sure its anxiety but always go to your doctor if you're worried. Give yourself peace of mind. Anxiety sucks and it can give horrible symptoms but it'll get better with time.
