Drop feeling

Has anyone been looking at something and then all of the sudden it looks like everything is falling down or like your head is falling?

Yes!  Sometimes like an earthquake has jolted.  Have you found a doctor to take this seriously?

So far I've been to my regular doctor (who I don't think understands much about it at all) a neurologist that says I'm a "medical mystery" because my blood work is always off and I have white spots on my MRI which she can't explain at all, a rheumatoid doc that says I have fibromyalgia, a cardiologist that says my heart skips a beat every now an again but it's no big deal, an ent that has done 2 sinus surgeries and 2 mastoid surgeries on my head, an infectious diseases doctor that had me get a picc line for which I ended up in the hospital for 3 days after 2 wks of having it (never needed it, I was misdiagnosed) and another neurologist that says I'm having little mini strokes but he said it's totally normal (I'm pretty sure that's not true?) so to sum it up, no I don't think any of them really understand completely and I wish I could just go to like a mayo clinic and have all the doctors in one place communicating with each other to figure out what is actually wrong with me. I think a lot of them like to say "oh, it's just anxiety you'll be okay". I think anxiety is a much deeper illness than doctors like to acknowledge or in my situation I believe "yes, I do have anxiety because of what it currently going on in my body that no one can completely figure out". Hope you feel better. Sorry about my little book, but it's the best way I can explain it.

I think you are absolutely right Anxiety75, in that "anxiety is a much deeper illness" than doctors seem to acknowledge or know about. I know it sounds very mistrusting but when doctors use the word "just" anxiety, I too feel that it is more than just about adrenaline rush.  Yes, I know about the effects of the brain what I am wondering is if it is considered a true malady that affects every part of our lives as well as our families.  Would a doctor ever say it is "just" cancer?   I know this sounds harsh but living like this is too.....

Wow! That sounds all too familiar, including the cardiologist who says arrhythmia is nothing to worry about :-(.  My ENT is trying & today I see the neurologist for the first time in 4 years.  Last visit he told me it was anxiety so I haven't returned.  Hoping for a better experience this time.

Yes! Or detaching from your neck. I actually hear knocking sounds like someone is knocking at the door within your brain...not all the time. 

I hate it, it seems like you are in another dimension you are trying to get out.

God Bless All,
