Hi Roxx14, sometimes dehydration can cause all these symptoms. For me, it's always a sign that I have not had much water during the day. It's worth a try. xx

I have been putting up with the lightheadedness for nearly 4yrs now it's a common symptom of anxiety, heavy head and weird feeling in my head are all part of anxiety but if you are worried go see your doctor.

[Cicinoodle]

Hi Roxx14,

You symptoms sound like anxiety . I have been struggling with anxiety since childhood and I can you what you are feeling sounds just like anxiety and or depression. I remember feeling really weird in the head, very strange, dizzy even nauseous and very tried. Prior to understanding that what I was suffering from was anxiety mixed with depression. I ran to doctors and neurologists and every specialist you can think of. I had blood tests, MRI's Cat scans , stress tests ultra sound of my heart. All with normal results. I was in my 20's back than and I am now in my late 50's . I had all the symptoms you explained. My neurologists sat me in his office and said to me that what I was suffering from was depression. I didn't believe him and got second opinions and even went to NYC looking for top notch doctors. It took another 10 years before I was convinced. Back than there wasn't any internet. Finally my I couldn't take any longer and went to see a psychiatrist . That was when prozac just came out on the market along with a new line of antidepressants. At this time it was in the 90's . The first antidepressant I was prescribed worked for me and weeks later I felt the best I ever felt in my entire life as if I was reborn. I felt like a normal person for the first time my life cause I had suffered for years with debilitating symptoms. I know since than doctor's have over prescribed antidepressants and I believe not everyone needed an antidepressant, and for many people on line have negative stories how an antidepressant ruined their lives so they felt, however, for me personally they saved my life and was what I needed to have a life. So for ever it's worth I hope my story helps you feel a little better. All my very best to you for a good happy healthy life.

Classic anxiety signs roxx..I was told it is the way we anxiety suffers feel because of the way our bodies release adrenaline...it causes the light headedness and tiredness..if you can manage to accept this and know that it is nothing more serious the symptoms do become less and your anxiety will improve...I know it's hard at times very hard in fact but positive thinking does help a lot...john.

Thank you for the support everyone

"Brain fog" can be related to food sensitivities or dehydration.

I do this all the time it's such a scary feeling I'm like this 90% of the time I feel lightheaded & off balance it makes me feel like I'll pass out though I never have and ive been like this for 3-4 years now

[Roxx14 in reply to Apw86]

I’ve been like this for almost 2 years and it’s so scary and uncomfortable I just wanna get better , I thought of doing reiki next week

[Apw86]

What is reiki?

[Roxx14 in reply to Apw86]

a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. It’s suppose to be good for anxiaty depression

[Apw86 in reply to Roxx14]

Ok wow I've never heard of that!

Hello Roxx14 - I suddenly got the off-balance feeling whilst in the kitchen an hour ago and it's still with me. I've been getting these sorts of horrid episodes for about 10 years and I am sure it is tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, which can restrict blood flow to the brain. I've done a lot of research and have had regular osteo sessions and this is the most likely cause. Most of my working life has been at a desk, using a manual typewriter and then a computer. Absolutely terrible for necks!! The suggestion to drink more water is also a great idea. Hang in there. I use the mantra "Nothing lasts for ever, good or ill".

[Agora1 in reply to Stells]

Water can solve a lot of issue Stells. My shoulder and neck muscles have always held all my stress and tension. You are absolutely correct in that it can at tmes constrict the blood vessels causing that off balance feeling. Sometimes just having a little something to eat can correct that, but usually for me, it means I am dehydrated as well as need to do some deep breathing xx

[Hidden in reply to Agora1]

How do you know you need water? How long have you not been drinking well in order for you to get dehydration symptoms?

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

I'm dehydrated right now. I have no desire to drink water or any other liquids. I never get thirsty. My symptoms of dehydration show up as dry white coated tongue, dry throat, fuzzy headed at times and achy stiff muscles. Our bodies cannot function properly without the proper amount of water. Our blood circulation needs volume and this is gotten by the water we drink. Maybe I'm more into how the body works and so am more aware of the issue. xx

[Hidden in reply to Agora1]

So how long are you without water to feel these symptoms.

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

Oh I drink water everyday but just not enough. I am also on medications that absorb my water in take making me dry mouth as well. I read somewhere that if you ever saw a line of people at a drinking fountain, you would notice that most of them are men. Maybe it's a woman thing that we just don't get as thirsty. xx

Thanks Agora1. Roxx14 - hang in there and try to go with the feeling and accept it. I even considered whether I might have the start of Menieres Disease and am just so thankful that it's not something as bad as that. I have suffered with anxiety all my life and have had panic attacks in the past but know how to get through them now. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who post on here because knowing there are others who also have to endure these horrid symptoms is a great help and comfort to me. It feels like I have a family on here who knows how I'm feeling and will support me.
