Having a bad day...

Hi All,

Well I thought after getting my results all would go back to normal! Ha who was I kidding!!

I had an awful dizzy spell last night and woke up feeling completely rubbish

Ive got to work today and just feel the same as always but almost worse... I am all dizzy/cloudy headed.. my eyes can't focus and I can't concentrate I've had some porridge and a few biscuits but still not feeling great

I am so worried that my worries are going to go on to something else now... someone mentioned blood pressure and circulation to me last night and that's made me worried that maybe that's whats causing the dizziness! It just doesn't stop this circle does it!

I have this awful fear of fainting and Im not sure quite what to do with myself any more

Morning , sorry that youre still feeling like this, but its prob cos its anxiety and unfortunately it doesn't just go away, and the more we feel frustrated the worse it is. I think everyone would agree on here..... Im very frustrated with myself at the min so I know how awful it can be, and we just want to be back to the old carefree self!!

Anyway try not to worry hun, anxiety is a horrid thing, perhaps some sort of relaxation class would help, t'chi or something??

Anyway I hope you feel better soon!!

Love and hugs

Ker xx

Oh fed up

You sound just like me

I will tell you a secret as well as everyone else that might read this

Years ago , my first fear was a heart attack , didnt happen

Moved on to a BT , which now I suffer with migraines , even though I have been having them for 4 years , but reading what I do , that is becoming more of a fear thats what is wrong with me

Then we have had I might have Aids because I have been having Sinus infections so long , bearing in mind , I have never used needles & been married 20 years & with hubby 21 years & not had an affair , but yes I believe I could have it

These are just a few , the list goes on for ever !

Please , dont end up like me

When all mine started , you didnt talk about it , my goodness , they would have locked me up maybe & thrown the key away , so you had to live with it thinking you were mad & the only person in the world that thought this way !

Your advantage is you can now talk about it , you no you are not the only person in the world that thinks this way , we can get better & there is help out there & no one will lock you up & throw the key away

High blood pressure , I actually do have that

I never had any symptoms , was a routine check that it came to light , I have never gone dizzy once with it either

As far as I am aware it is not life threatening either as now if you do have it they just pop you on meds & its keeps it normal

You have been through such a rough time , & yes the relief you felt the other day was fantastic , but now you are coming down from it & anxiety is trying to knock on the door & say OK , so you havnt got a BT after all , but you no what , why not lets start sending you crazy & get you believing its something else instead hey

Anxiety is the worse thing there is to make you feel physically ill & have symptoms like you do , & you said yourself after the results , you are starting counselling & you can start dealing with your anxiety

Its only been a couple of days , so the old thinking & habits wont go away just like that , will take a while to work on , but you will get there

Think I best shut up now , I am going on a bit here

Just desperately trying to hope I can let you no this is HA & not see you go down the road I set down on for years as its a really crap one !

Love

Agree, also been on crap road for years. Try to get off before it becomes too engrained.

Thanks Why Why

I know its all my anxiety and I can think that when I have a clear mind but when I feel completely rubbish its so hard to tell yourself that!!

I will have my CBT tomorrow and got a nice weekend planned so will see how I go. Have a lovely weekend and relax, I'm going to try x

I have had a recent check up and told everything is ok but I still have all the symptoms. I sometimes feel even though we are told everything is ok we are not always fully reassured. I think this is one of the symptoms of HA. I am sure the doctors would have found if there was a problem with you, but if you are like me it will take a lot to reassure you
