I can barely do anything without feeling like i'm going to pass out

7 Replies

I've had blood work, EKGs, a CAT scan, thyroid tests- all the tests pretty much and nothing's wrong. But it never fails, whenever I try to do anything, like fold clothes or take a shower, my heart starts pounding like crazy, not very fast, but HARD. I get dizzy, lightheaded and nauseous, I feel like I'm going to faint. Basically I feel like I ran a mile when I'm barely exerting any energy. Sometimes it's a lot worse than other times. Right now is one of the bad ones. I was folding clothes and now I feel like I'm fighting to stay awake. A lot of the times when it happens I'm not even having anxiety! Once it starts happening I start to panic though, of course. And I've tried "fighting through it", but it only results in me getting MORE tired. I feel like I'm living with a terminal illness. Does anyone else have this? How do you cope?

I'm very dizzy! Sometimes I feel like I'm going to fall over or the worlds going to spin out from under me. Even when I'm sitting down! but of course nothing ever happens.

You are not alone. We have a group of people feel the same way. I have been dizzy for five months now. I did lots of testing. Nothing yet. Hope we can figure things out.

i feel the same exact way. so dizzy/woozy/lightheaded.. sometimes like i'm almost floating, and then sometimes there is a little pressure in my head.. it varies.. could this really all be anxiety or something more? i'm in the process of getting testing done, and so far nothing positive... you are not alone
