Dizzy,lightheaded, weird head feelings

6 Replies

I'm still struggling with this weird head feeling, it's almost like I have to fight to stay in reality, most of the time I feel dizzy and light headed on top of this floating feeling of losing control...

Anybody experienced this and what might help with this feeling such as meds or anything?..I know I probrally had post something like this before but it's getting kind of scary...I wake up everyday to this weird head sensation and it gets out of whack as I go on later in the day, I feel like I needed to just go home but I stay pushing until I drop I ain't giving up on this just need some advice ...I was going to start on my zoloft wich has been sitting on my counter for about a month after the doctor prescribed it to me, but after this weird feelings in the head came stronger I'm thinking what if zoloft makes things worst...is this anxiety or depression, ?

Exactly how I feel, I'm just trying to understand this more whether its anxiety or depression that way I know what to work on more...I'm curious are we the only two who are going through this. I wish if others are too that they would give us some advice as to what it is that causes this...its hard to google these symptoms because everything else will pop up. But because this is a anxiety forum I could imagine we are not the only ones going through this...and if we are then bless your heart 🤣...

I am going through the same thing non stop and am scared if I try any kind of med especially mind altering ones like anti-depressants it will get worse, yet I need to get better. I feel like I’ll pass out or drop dead daily. I have non stop pressure and faintness feeling day and night waking me up. Stinging and zaps in face, shooting pains in head and sometimes numbness and pins and needles. But the overwhelming head pressure and feeling like My head and throat are being constructed and my bones in my face being clamped down on is scary. Hard to drive or do anything. I lay down and it improves the pressure some but it is still there and the minute I sit up or stand up id is so bad all day. I get burning in my head chest and back. I get waves in my head or rushes very scary. You are not alone in this. I fear seizures and low intracranial or high intracranial pressure as well. Had some scans and so farm those were normal. Waiting an eeg. It’s hard getting through every day. I have had the nonstop for months on end.

Hello QUICH. I think you’re experiencing derealization which can be a very frightening experience. Honestly with time and acceptance that you are safe and healthy, it will go away. Something that helps me is doing things that shock me back into reality. One time I went driving in a crazy rain storm (not purposefully! It was drizzling when I first went out but then it started storming) and I’ve never been brought back to reality so fast. Idk I guess I sometimes attempt to startle myself enough so that I come back to reality.

Thank you, with work and taking care of my 3 little children it scares me that I would snap into something else, like I wouldn't know them, myself and my surroundings...I sometimes feel like I'm going to fade into blank zone... I just wanted to know that this will pass ..
