Physical anxiety symptoms

[Willow83]

Hi everyone,

I'm still suffering this dreadful dizzy,head pressure thing although I'm trying really hard to be positive! My dr gave me cetalopram which may be contributing to my new attitude anyway, yesterday I decided to move some crystals and a plant by my bed. I also brought my meditation CDs up and have been listening to them and lighting my candle by my bed.

While my symptoms are still there, I do feel a lot happier in myself as well as an inner calm.

It's hard when you have 2 little boys darting about the place but I'm trying to remember to breath calmly and relax.

The vertigo tablets seem to be making me a little worse I think. I felt a little better first thing this morning but took a vertigo pill like I have for over a week now and I suddenly felt the more dizzy than before I took it. I'll see how I feel when it wears off and decide on wether I take one again.

Xxxxx

hi willow, might be worth talking to your pharmacist to see if any med's clash. and your gp.

I'm glad your cd's help.

regards,

I take citalopram , and you have got to take care what other drugs you take with them .

I check with your pharmacist and Gp as to whether your meds are clashing.

These feelings are a terrible thing. I too have visual dizziness, head pressure, sharp stabbing pains at times, fullness in ears, numbness behind one ear, sometimes I feel as though my chest is so heavy and my heart is beating out of my chest like crazy. I also recently had a seven hour nose bleed which no one can tell me why. All I want to do is lay down which makes me feel so guilty because i have two young kids. I have had a cat scan with good results and also been to an ENT and told My ears and nose were clear. I am so frustrated but reading that others have these symptons too makes me realize I am not alone. My next step will be to a neurologist. I have read that some have been told anxiety and that makes me wonder. I have several family members with nerve conditions and anxiety who even suffer panic attacks. They too have the dizziness. I am so curious if this is the root of the problem. It is so hard to live like this. My husband has been great. His work schedule is 1-2 days in office and home the rest of the week and now i am finding myself scared, nervous and worried when he is not with me. I feel so weak on my feet and worry I may collapse in front of the kids. I pray to God to help me through each day and I am so grateful to hear all your stories. Thanks for listening.
