Hi guys, newby, 39 here. I'll try and get straight to the point and try to keep it simple. Past diagnoses, at 23 panic disorder and at 27 Hasimotos Thyroiditis.

So it started 2 weeks ago. I was feeling fine up until i had a dizzy spell whilst walking round the kitchen bench. It absolutely frightened the hell outta me I slightly paniced. I took my bp straight away, it was 127/ 82 bpm 88. Since then I've been worried at the threat of it happening again. I've been feeling strange, my head feels odd like brain fog, I've been feeling unsteady at times on my feet like im floating or walking on a boat! I have tension and the base of my head and at times eye pain. Im terrified its a brain tumor thats all i think about! Feeling these things gets me down and not myself. Im depressed at times too 😢 My doctor puts it all down to Anxiety and stress. She didnt do blood tests just went off my full blood exam last September! Which btw was all normal. Im seeing her tomorrow and will be demanding another full blood test done and to maybe check my inner ear, not often but at times I have ringing in it. Im also wondering if my Hashimotos is flaring up again coz the unsteadiness and brain fog is what i was experiencing when i got diagnosed with it. who knows! I'd be so happy of someone experiencing or has had similar symptoms to please put my mind at ease? Im the biggest worry wort, every time I have something go wrong i think the absolute worst!! Thanks so much for reading guys. Hope to hear from you soon x
