    Here are some thongs you can look into. I have been dizzy for 3 yrs and I am still looking to get better but I think I narrowed it down. All of these things can make you spaced out and are easy to check. Check out your Vitamin D and B12, lack of these can mess you up. ALso look up TMJ, it's a jaw issue, so if you grind your teeth that could be the problem. ALso look into going to a PT, I am going to one now and they are streching my neck and shoulder musles, they tell me they are super tight. You could also look up chronic myofascial pain syndrome, I found this info on a board called dizzy times, so look that up as well.

    Having a really bad morning. Woke up feeling ok but now... I started feeling that swaying motion in my head again, I felt myself slowly crunch forward feeling that anxiety kicking in and my stomach feeling tight ...that uncertain feeling. I stood up and thought I was going to faint ...anxiety kicked in even harder. Left side of my face started feeling tingly ...a little numb ...panic attack was on. I was thinking the worse. I had to drive to get back home ...challenging is what it was for me. My headache started too, my face and eyes hurt , back of my head. I popped one of my pills that suppusibly helps with anxiety/ blood pressure. I still feel crappy. I was debating on driving myself to ER. This is horrible ...I'm not living , just existing and I don't want to just exist. Always feel woozy, swaying , headaches, nauseous , it's sad. Hope y'all are having a better day.

      Hi deb. 

      I'll look it up. Boy I'm feeling so sick ...really bad headache, took Tylenol but nothing. Feeling that swaying motion, my stomach is knotted and bloated...nauseous ...I mean nauseous like it in my throat...sorry to be so direct. I eat only because I have to ...it's horrible forcing one self to eat.  I also noticed ...maybe this is the 2nd or 3rd time I really noticed ...I'm gonna be open and honest here ...sorry if I offend or upset anyone ... Ive noticed that I feel this bad when I'm close to my menstral cycle ...

      I actually am the same way. I lucked out I was at my husband's doctor appointment and long story short I have PCOS and they think I have insulin resistance and I am also severely vitamin d deficiency. Once I got control of the vitamin d the anxiety stopped within 1 month. But near my period like you I get worse. You may be insulin resistance.

      Very hard to diagnose.

      I bought a glucometer what happened when I felt great blood sugar was 120-140 when I felt like crap it was 80 and normal is 60 -120 but I would crash in about a hour. My husband's doctor said the crash is what makes you sick because your pancreas is spilling to much insulin.

      My changes until I get in are high protein with long lasting carbs been doing it for about a week.

      I feel great..

      look into this..if I can save someone else from suffering it is worth it..

      also look to be tested for adrenal fatigue as well as metabolic disorder these go hand in hand..

      I followed just a simple technique and feel better then ever.

      like many I am a nurse.

      I had to stop working for over a year I felt hopeless doctor after doctor.

      my luck was I got sick in the doctors office and she knew immediately when I told her I had PCOS.

      I thought I was going crazy..
