What's wrong with me?

Hej!

For some time now, maybe around two years, i have been battling something i really need to try and figure out...

Firstly, i have had this feeling of pressure in my head. It does not really give me a headache as such, but my head always seems to feel a bit heavy. I can never really sit up right for long, preferring to lie down and rest my head on some pillows. This pressure feeling usually seems to concentrate on the top/back part of my head/skull, and i should also point out i can sometimes here this awful cracking/popping sound... it's like i can actually feel it, and feel that my brain is gonna blow!

Secondly, and what really gets me, is this damn problem i've been having in certain situations...

In certain situations, normally involving direct focus on something, i start producing this sort of involuntary spasm and it's really starting to affect parts of my life. I'll give you some examples:

1 - During a meal at a friend's house one of the hosts started talking to me directly. Like in previous events, i started to develop this awful feeling inside and had to real focus on my body/head not wanting to start jerking and spasm! For example, if i tried to raise my glass to drink (during conversation) i would not be physically able to do it, i just start developing this sort of spasm i can't control...

2 - I recently attend an optician's for an eye test, and it again started to kick off! When asked to place my head on the rest (standard machine for checking focus) i started to spasm/shake and this was really embarrasing! Honestly, i really struggled keeping my head still when looking through the eye holes... i really was shaking quite bad!

3 - During a staff training session, i was directly asked a question and just couldn't answer... i just seem to lose verbal abilities, start spasms (in this case my arm was playing up) and had to excuse myself!

4 - Perhaps relevant or not, i do recall recently walking quite a large distantce to an entertainment venue. Once there, and having stopped walking, i did feel a little dizzy and uneven for a while!

Apologies if this is all over the place, but i hope you can understand how bad the impact this is having on my life...

A previous doctor suggested i was showing signs of anxiety, although i am at odds with that diagnosis. I have always been a social person, actively joined in with meetings/groups/training and lived the first 26 years of my life without this problem! I should, however, state i have had some past issues with binge drinking and this may have led to this developing... i have cut out the booze completely, see if that makes any difference!

My feelings are there is something going wrong in my head/skulls, or there is something wrong in my bod that causing whatever this problem is... i've let this lie too long and now i'm kinda getting worried rolleyes

As always, help is/will appreciated!

Kindly,

Blagsy smile

    When the doctor cant tell what the clinical symptoms translate to in health disorder, the common term is Anxiety. 

    However, your symptoms indicate neurological and/or vascular issues with heavy head, spasm and loosing verbal abilities. You said your only 26 ? 

    Maybe a specialist should be consulted.

      Hej,

      Thanks for getting back to me!

      I plan to make an appointment this week, so should i tell the doctor i want further investigation in these areas?

      Probably going to write all the issues down and take it to an appointment.

      Certainly not going to get fobbed off with the anxiety diagnosis again!
