Strange Feeling in my Head

Hi Christine. Thanks for your answer.

Well, that's what I thought first, as I am naturally a person that's easy to get irritated and I'm also arguing with my parents often, leading to me being nervous at least once a day. I really hope you are right and that it isn't anything to worry, as it sometimes really makes me think about it and I start to lose hope. Also, if I am anxious, if I am anxious, is there any way to fix that without anti-depressants? I mean, I don't want to start using such medication in my years, as I am very young now.

Hi Milos955

?Have a look online or in your local papers for meditation classes, or "mindfulness" sessions which seem to be all the rage at the moment.  They help with breathing techniques, taking control of your life, and deep relaxation.  Or  see if your GP's surgery have any leaflets on anxiety as they may point you in the right direction.  As for anti-depressants, a short course may be all you need but you would have to take your doctor's advice on that.  I hope you can sort it out soon as I know from my own past that it can ruin your enjoyment of what should be your best years. 

Thanks for your answer. Will definitely try to sort it out as soon as I can. Thanks for your pieces of advice and for understanding. I will also check ENT doctor to make sure that my ears aren't a problem.

Hello. BossJ. I can't believe that somebody feels exactly what I feel. I'm also into the workout and lift weights for a few years now seriously. And yes, it's CONSTANT lightheadedness and with slight headaches. My blood is also normal, and the neurologist said that it's nothing to worry about and to relax. 

You are feeling exactly my symptoms. It's that strange and annoying feeling of being off and it's every day. Do you consider going to a CT scan?

I have considered asking for it. I've only had this for 3 weeks, and it is making me crazy. Hasn't stopped me from doing anything, but I just feel off, my head feels slowish. It's a constant feeling, but some days are worse than others.

But yes. It's exactly the way you described it.

So frustrating.

Everything on me checks out fine. So I don't know what to do. Lol

I'm very sad to hear that. Well, 3 weeks isn't that big period, as I'm suffering from June, so it should make it easier for you

Haha, no way that makes me nervous.

So do you feel it all day, every day?

So for me, it seems to go away when I'm busy doing something. It's strange.

So I was painting the other day, and I stopped feeling light-headed, the second I quit painting, I felt it again.

It seems when I'm just sitting and my mind isn't thinking it keeping busy, I get light headed again.

Also when I take my pre workout I get light-headed, so I thought maybe it was caffeine doing it?

I've been off of the pwo for a few days, still hasn't gone away.

But the only difference with me is, when I'm driving walking or doing something physical, it seems to be much less, than when I'm just sitting.

YES, YES, YES the same goes for me. As soon as I start doing something like writing something, playing games, watch TV, etc it goes away. As soon as my mind starts focusing on something else I don't feel it and when I stop doing that it returns. Just as you said.

I don't think it's caffeine. I don't drink coffee or take supplementation.

For me, there isn't a general rule, but I never experience it when I'm laying down or sleeping. Then it's okay. Also, I sometimes experience it when I'm working out heavily, especially when doing squats or other heavy exercises, and not while I'm squatting, but when I leave the bar on the rack and rest.

Yep I'm the exact same way. It's so random in how it acts. I don't even know how to explain it.

Have you had any pain in your neck or bottim of the back of your head? I do sometimes.

Also, this may be a coincidence, but I took Mucinex a few times and the light-headed feeling seemed to go away. I have major sinus issues, but have had them my entire life... But it has never really bothered me except for having stuffed sinuses.

I've had some pain in the back of the head. In my neck never, though. Also, I also might have problems with my sinus, as I often sneeze and cough, I didn't check that. Sinus issues are also a great cause of head problems, especially if there is an inflammation. I never took any medication to see if it goes away. For example, I've had some minor problems today, but I went to the gym, was with my girlfriend and I felt almost nothing, as I was focused on the other things. 

Yup - Today was also fine for me. Not lightheaded but having sinus issues - I'm wondering if it's an inner ear or inflammation issue in my sinus' ... I just don't feel 100% - seems to be getting a bit better every day, but I don't know - I may go see my GP next week and make him run a test or two on me. 

It's getting annoying. Not sure how you have dealt with it since June.

Have you checked into Occipital neuralgia? 

 

Well, it could be an ear or sinus issues. I've dealt with it because I thought it's because of high heat, and I don't like heat, I like cold more. I didn't check, but from what I am reading, I have maybe two symptoms like pain behind the eye and one side of the head, sometimes it's right and sometimes it's left. I will probably scan my neck and spine for issues after the New Year. The one thing that bothers me is that it may be something more serious... what do you think? I mean, benign or malicious nature... I don't know.

Yup, that is exactly what I think about. But compressed nerves can act the exact same way as a tumor or something like that. But I figured it would show up on the blood test that something is off and I just had one 2 months ago.

May go to my chiropractor. I've had inner ear issues most my life, and I went to my chiropractor and they helped night and day difference.

I've also been having a lot of sinus issues lately, with pressure in the cheeks and stuff like that.

Yes. The symptoms might be the same, but I've heard that a brain tumor is very rare and that headaches come in various types. I also did a blood test and everything was fine. If it's not a tumor, I guess it's what you say; sinus, inner ear or compressed nerves.

Also, do you have this feeling when suddenly moving your head? I mean, I have it when I'm headbanging, for example, it immediately starts to feel weird. Or when I make sharp turns for example. 

Yes. So if I just shake my head back n forth, it sometimes takes me a bit to regain focus. Like I feel slowish

Yes, exactly how I feel. Well, that doesn't seem to be tumor I guess. You may be right about compressed nerves, sounds somehow logical to me.

So I went to my chiropractor yesterday that deals with neurology issues, took scans of my neck and back and they are terrible.

Adjusted me. And I already feel better. Going back on Saturday. He believes it's all neck related. I'll still may go get a CT scan, just for peace of mind, but so far this seems to have helped. Immediately after the adjustment, my lightheadedness disappeared and I felt normal again.

You need to get into a chiropractor and see if that helps you.

I'll keep you posted of course.

Oh and this is the first morning in over a month I've woken up and didn't feel off, or have a headache or something.

Wow, that's great to hear, man. Thanks for the update. I will surely consider a chiropractor. I might contact a private one, to fix it as soon as I can. I also consider a CT scan. I'm very happy that you are getting better.

Did you ever get checked out? How are your symptoms? 

I didn't as these days it was better. I didn't feel anything at all for about a week. Last two days I have some symptoms (the same ones). How about you?

I've learned - it seems to be anxiety and stress for me. The adjustments are helping me for sure - and i'm also taking moringa and amla herbs - and those seem to be making me a lot better. 

The same goes for me. Additional stress and anxiety seem to make it worse.
