    Another thing. Light. Very light sensitive. Most stores use florecent lights. Most people don't know or even notice. They cycle. It's not a constant light. They flicker rapidly. That kills me Lol. Sounds. After a episode of vertigo I am so sound sensitive a screaming kid makes my head spin violently. Wife doing dishes this morning. I went into the bedroom. Ride 50 feet down the road in the car is a nightmare.

    Check out my thread if you want the full story but I was having similar issues over a long period of time. Grocery stores are my biggest weakness. Original diagnosis was vestibular neuritis but they took that diagnosis away when vng came back normal.

    I've had every test imagineable even mri. When it came down to it my doctors agreed on an anxiety disorder that may have developed from the birth of my first child and the lack of sleep and stress that comes with it. I have never had anxiety or depression and still don't feel depressed or have anxious thoughts, but my body had a constant adrenaline rush or out of body type feeling until I started treatment.

    So far a month of being on antidepressants (Paxil 10mg) has reduced my symptoms to about 1x per week and it doesn't last long.

      How do we get to your thread kyle?

      What sort of symptoms did you have? Or is it just the out of body feeling?

      Yep, you can do what bI'll said or I think u can access it through my profile. In any case I just think it's a good read because a lot of people (myself included) freak out that something is very wrong when they get these symptoms. It turns out quite often that it is caused by anxiety/stress and not any other underlying health problems.

      I would still check in with your doctor. In my case having an MRI/bloodwork/heart monitor all come back clear calmed me down because I knew things weren'the too serious, but I have good enough insurance to do that all pretty cheap.
