Back after 1 good year now back to square one

[mckean32uk]

So, after a year of calm and freedom im back to square one 😞

It all started a 4 weeks back when i came over lightheaded, at the time had a little worry but for next 2 weeks thought nothing of it.

Then after 2 weeks of feeling lightheaded or like things are loving slower when i move my head, i did the dreaded thing and went on Google!

Vertigo, labyrinthitis, but i wasnt having hearing issues or any other issues but the offbalance feeing. So I continued to search and came to anema! Which led to colon cancer! Went to see the doctor she wasn’t interested in my lightheaded symptoms, just offered me counselling.

One week later still lightheaded, no fee sick and get pins and needles when i sit in my arms.

Im going out of my mind, intey to forget the feeing but i cant.

Sorry to go on and on, but i hope someone can say theyve fet similar health anxiety symptoms

Oh definitely stay off google it will send you into a spiral. Did you see your doctor? Have a check up for peice of mind, I'm not sure if you were previously on medication, you may need to go back on it for a bit?

Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can cause this symptom too such as low d, c and the b group and iron.

Or practice acceptance and just let it be.

You will read many posts about lightheadedness/dizziness it's def a symptom of anxiety/stress.

Feel better soon x

Hi mckean32uk I just this Friday gone had this same thing happen to me right out of the blue. Never had these symptoms before. Like you thought I was dizzy and wizzy in the head all fuzzy. Almost fell to the floor twice without reason. Really strange. I had to sleep it off everyday at home. Until I started to feel a bit less dizzy each day. Had a bit of low mood with it but that I am managing for now. Saw doc as been fairly stable for about a year or so with a little wobble here or there. Until Aug 2017 was just about to go away in caravan on holiday and the day before we were leaving it hit me. I managed to overcome this one with loads of distraction but have felt symptoms ever since until now. Now changing to Sertraline from Citalopram. Doc says this is better for me than Citalopram as been on for years and not done much good. Like you I read all the Google illnesses but realised it is a panic attack in the end. Hoped it wasn't but there you go. Such as life. Hope the transition to the new meds work well. So your not alone I have just had the same thing happen to me!
