Scared.

[Mama1204]

I can't make this stuff go away. Terrible feeling that something serious is wrong with me. My head still feels so heavy, foggy, and I feel dizzy at times. I never lose my balance, and when it gets really bad, it'll give me a headache. I'm trying to keep myself calm but I can feel the panic attack starting. I'm wondering if it's anxiety, or if I have something wrong in my head physically.. not just mentally. It's ruining my life! I keep reminding myself that when my husband is with me, I don't feel this way. At least I don't think I do? He's been gone for a week, and we still have two weeks to go. I'm struggling! Being alone is so scary for me and I'm afraid something is going to happen at any given second. I don't know what to do or where to turn but any advice would be greatly appreciated! The drs seem to think this is all just my anxiety, but my mind is trying it's best to make me think otherwise. I know I shouldn't, but I research brain tumors almost everyday. I don't have the symptoms, I'm not experiencing anything other than this heavy head feeling and it seems like my brain is just in a fog. Like it won't think clearly or something. Please tell me I'm not the only one dealing with this. I've got the tingling all over my body now telling me that I should panic.. and I'm starting to.

This most definitely sounds like anxiety with panic attacks . They are horrible. And yes remind yourself that you don't feel this way when he is home. Do you have a friend or family member that can stay with you? Or you with them? Consult your doctor to give you something to relax .

hi there probably not much help.have you been diagnosed with any conditions?I have the same feelings in m y head -dr agreed dizziness by doing tests but not give any reason but i also have swelling/pressure and other physical signs all not taken into consideration.

i have always been under the opinion that anxiety is dr's excuse for everything and too easily assumed because its what they want to believe.

I don't have any swelling. And I'm not sure I'd call it pressure? But maybe. It feels tight all over my head, my ears feel full sometimes. I've been to the dr and they say anxiety.

Hi Mama1204, I agree with Lynn that it sounds like you're having panic attacks. I used to suffer like this and somebody suggested a breathing technique which did actually help me. Still use it if I'm stressed. Lie down (if practical) close your eyes and breathe in gently through your nose to the count of 4,then breathe out gently through your mouth to the count of 4.Imagine your somewhere you love to be,its a beach for me with blue skys! only for a few minutes though.You said yourself you've no symptoms or reason to think you have a brain tumour, so stop researching it . Anxiety would make you feel like you can't concentrate. Hope you feel better. X
