Random hard hitting lightheadedness?

[pizzi]

Ok so im a long time health anxiety sufferer first off. Usually I have the typical chest pain, shortness of breath and all that but lately theres this new thing, lightheadedness.. Its weird though ill be sitting on my computer totally fine and all of a sudden I get lightheaded for like 5 seconds and my feet and hands tingle, then it goes away... its really scaring me please anyone of you tell me you've experienced this before? I went too the hospital 2 months ago did the full heart exam and said im great so idk someone please help me.

I'm also a sufferer of health anxiety! and I get random moments of lightheadedness or dizziness. except I don't get tingles in my hands or feet that often!

thanks man I appreciate the reply. Whats your health anxiety based around? mines my heart.

[ngyyyisex in reply to pizzi]

yea same! mine's based on my heart and nothing else... every physical symptom I get, straight away I assume it's related to my heart no matter what the doctor's have told me. I'm terrified of having a heart attack or suddenly just dropping dead..

yesterday I had a holter monitor on, was meant to wear it for 3 days but after a day and a half I started getting an allergic reaction to the sticky patches and the pain from the rash is freaking me out!! can't seem to rationalise anything when it comes to pain that mimic a heart attack..

also, are you feeling any better now?
