Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and came across this thread in my Google Search. I've been a sufferer of dizziness/lightheadedness/foggy brain feeling for about 5 years now. I've had so many tests done that I could probably fill up a page... from ENT/MRI's of head/neck/sinuses, bloodwork. You name it I have gotten it done. I too have been told that its just "anxiety", but getting a weird floaty feeling and almost feeling like I have to faint everyday doesn't seem like it could just be anxiety. I know there are 100's of symptoms of anxiety, but I would never think that anxiety could control your life mentally AND physically. For me, it all started when I was at the gym on a stationary bike and BAM I felt dizzy and thought it was dehydration, but it stuck with me since then, and it has only gotten worse. As of late just sitting here typing just makes me have a floaty/waves of dizziness in my head feeling. Even the right side of my head feels like it twinges :o( Any help would be much appreciated. I just wanted to add too that none of this runs in my family. My husband says since all my tests come back negative (which is obviously a good thing), that the only thing he can really say is that maybe the docs are right and that its anxiety? I just feel like its something more because its so strong and ruins my daily life... I'm 34, active female with no kids/pets, and exercise on a daily/weekly basis. Just sucks. All I want is to rid this for the rest of my life, its so frustrating and scary.
I am so glad you wrote this. This is me. I was fine one day and was running on my treadmill when all of a sudden I feel like im.weak in my legs dizzy ears ringing and off balance. Then I started having this weird scalp pain..I freaked many appts to er with ct scan negative ent said tmj while.only looking in my ears I was rushed out quick. Went to my internal doc several times he said anxiety. Went to neuro for mri of cervical spine mra which is for anyuersms because dr google had cleary convinced me I had one. And seeing a cardiologist today for sudden chest pain. I finally have had to give this to God! ! I tried several attempts to google and diagnose myself and yesterday I ginally heard God say let me have it. So I am. Will keep you updated and im praying for you!!
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with the same thing I am everyday. I know what its like. One doc says this, one says that... most just say anxiety to brush it off because they have no other answer for you. I also have TMJ (and have actually been diagnosed with it) and wear a nightguard when sleeping. If its ok to ask, how did your MRI of your cervical spine go? Did that come back normal? Really? Sudden chest pains? I had those too, to only be told they were nothing because I have had numerous holter monitors but they have all came back fine (except they said I do have extra heart beats)... but that is considered fine? which is why I get fluttering... Can I also ask, how old you are and how long this has been going on for you? I hope you get better soon. I know how this is! It is awful to deal with on a regular basis
I go for echo of heart today. I get results tomorrow from nuero. With this weird scalp pain she said occiptial nueralgia. So I can beleive that but sometimes I have nimbness and tingling in legs and arms and hands. I did atress test 2 years ago was perfect. 3 holters fine except I have extra weird leaky valve.
I am 31 female not overweight actually I was lifting and gettng really into the heavy lifting thing. And the neuro said she thinks I have a jacked up neck. Its weird.I feel like I was healthy as a horse until all of thsi happened. My doctor thinks its my job and said stress can manifest in a million differnt ways. While I can agree these feelings are unrelentless and I can feel them...sucks
Hey are you still suffering from this? I have been for 3 years now. I am still at a loss for what is causing it. Hope to hear from you.
