Dizzy and other symptoms, I'm worried.

I have vertigo and muscle tightness at the base of skull and face.

Is this another form of anxiety?

My heart rate has been around 100 resting for the last few weeks. My limbs feel weak, and I'm scared.

Has anybody else experienced this?

It feels like my head is full of jello or water and it feels like I've had too much to drink - but I don't drink.

Any answer is greatly appreciated

Hi. I have the same as you. I have it at this moment. A few weeks ago I had an ECG 'cause my heart was beating too fast and every thing was ok. I also suffer from vertigo. Don't worry it's anxiety.xx

I couldn't believe it that it was just anxiety 3 years ago when I felt like I couldn't breathe, because I wasn't anxious about anything. But all the tests ruled everything else out.

I got over that and now I feel my heart racing 24/7 and I feel like I'm going to pass out all the time, with intermittent vertigo. They say it's anxiety and I just want the tests to be done so I can see. Now with anything that comes up, it's instantly credited to anxiety and I just want them to check.

Yeah, they've finally referred me to cardiology. I meet with them on Wednesday. I just wish they would have sent me over there a couple months back like I had asked so I can get on with my life and not have to take time off work and so on.

It's so weird that this all just kicks off and feels terrible.

After my first panic attack my resting heart rate was high like yours for weeks on end. Only when I finally gave in and took tablets from the doctor did it slow down- propranolol beta-blockers. I take 2 a day and ever since my symptoms have become less frequent (the constant shaking and heart beating fast). But I do still get random moments of a fuzzy head and dizziness.

The dizziness has been the worst symptom and like you I feel drunk a lot of the time like I'm unsteady and off balance even when I stand or sit still. Slowly getting used to it and I hope you do too.

All the best xxx

Totally anxiety. Anxiety tenses our muscles so you can have pain in head and face. Especially if you clench your jaw you will get face pain. You may not notice you are clenching even though you might be. I feel weak too almost everyday like my legs are like jello I can totally relate. Some days I think I will just faint or drop dead but never do. For you its your head i get episodes throughout the day where my head is foggy i cant focus and i feel like i am drunk too even though i havent had a sip of alcohol. Its tuff because anxiety plays tricks on us and can make us believe anything.

Also I forgot to mention how do you know your heart is at 100 resting through the week? Did you see your doctor to get that information?
