Worst head symptoms

Does anyone else have the worst head symptoms? I always feel lost, dazed, confused, faint, lightheaded, pressure, feeling like my head is empty , my whole body feels week sometimes , and alwayssss tired .

[1973m]

Yes , completely Wooly headed at the moment, foggy like I can’t focus snd need to shake myself to bring myself round ( it never works tho) it’s like being in and walking through thick soup .. feelings of dizziness, fatigue, feeling heavy and clumsy.. it’s quite scary.. I feel the same as you .. it’s horrible but I think it’s part of the anxiety..

Is it daily fornyou?? And I also wake up feeling weird in the morning !

[1973m in reply to Hidden]

Yes ... then I have periods where it lifts briefly. It’s very debilitating and even harder to act normal when you have it , almost like a drunk feeling . I hate it !

i have similar symptoms when i walk i feel light headed, clumsy, unsteady on my legs, feeling heavy, and of course nervous fatigue. it must be part of anxiety i agree.

[flaxxy703 in reply to 1973m]

although i may have similar symptoms i still do my daily walks, go shopping, etc. my legs are good legs even though i may walk with fatigue, lightheadedness and wobbly legs they get me to where i want to go. bear the discomfort and comfort will come.

[Hidden in reply to flaxxy703]

That's a great way to look at it but does it get you nervous and you just want to run home!

[1973m in reply to flaxxy703]

Yes , I too still take my dogs out for daily walks , work , clean .. look after my family..you are right we have to carry on .

Is yours 24/7

I feel this way almost daily. Usually I’ll have a bad panic attack and for the next 4-5 days I feel this way. I believe it’s just the anxiety.

[Hidden in reply to Ctate96]

Mine is almost day and night! It's horrible I get scared I'm gonna pass out!

[Ctate96 in reply to Hidden]

I feel the exact same way. You feel like you’re gonna pass out yet it never happens. Have you tried hot baths? I find sometimes they can take the edge off? Usually I just have to wait it out though, although it’s terrifying

[Hidden]

I try sometimes but I have four children so not much time for hot baths lol

[Want2BHappy3]

I have those feelings sometimes too that when I go out in public I feel faint and just want to come home. I had headaches for several days in a row.

[Digydoda]

I have days when I feel all these symptoms and I feel as if I could faint but I never ever do. It's horrible and I'm trying to figure out myself if it's anxiety or something more serious. I think if it was something more serious we would know about it.

I get a bath every night and it does seem to help and I put relaxing music on, so if you ever have time to get a bath you should do it

I have apps called 'calm' and 'headspace' too and these really help

[Hidden]

Does it make you panic when you aren't home?

[kevoreally]

Sounds to me that some of you are AGORAPHOBIC this all happens to me when I leave my house into the “uncomfortable” side

[Hidden]

Doesn't happen every time I go somewhere though... there's times I get it at home... and I go places and in fine .. it all depends

[kevoreally in reply to Hidden]

Hmm a mix of panic disorder and agoraphobia

For me my fear of heights gives me bad anxiety for example

My town has small buildings the highest building in my town would be maybe 4 floors (very small) so when I go to areas with high buildings it freaks me out and I cannot look up in the sky or I begin to feel like im falling Its very bizarre and I hate it cannot go to NYC because kf all the high ass buildings /: used to be there all thentime as a kid now i cant get through it

Fourteen replies here, all listing your symptoms, comparing your symptoms, describing your symptoms. Only one makes any attempt to suggest a remedy, a bit of a solution or a way forward that may help with recovery.

Listing your symptoms isn't going to free you from them. Meds can free you from them (for as long as you take them). Therapy can free you from them. Self help books can free you from them.

Discussing ways that might help you might help you recover.

Endless symptom listing and swapping alone never cure anything.

A brief description of symptoms says what the problem is: the other 75% of the post should be about what you're doing about it.

[Hidden in reply to Jeff1943]

I have Zoloft sitting on my nightstand and am too afraid every single night to take them.i heard of a book by Claire that I am going to purchase and would do therapy but really don't have the time. I have four children and my husband is always at work.

[Jeff1943]

Chrispal07, I understand what you mean about finding the time for therapy when you have kids.

But you might find it more convenient to read that book by Claire Weekes 'Self help for your nerves', it's a short book, no medical terms, lots of commonsense, you can buy it new or used on Amazon. It will bring understanding, reassurance and a road to recovery based on 'acceptance' and not fighting anxiety ( you've probably been fighting anxiety a long time, did it cure you? No of course not).

As for Zoloft: anxiety about taking anti-anxiety meds is just another symptom of anxiety.

P.S. in the U.S. that book is titled 'Hope and help for your nerves'.

[Hidden]

I know it's another symptom

Of anxiety I wish I could take it to see if it's helps...

I would be sooo happy but I just can't find the courage to take it! Makes me so sad

[Hidden]

I feel the exact same way constantly. I’m getting blood tests done tomorrow and I’ll let you know if they find a condition for it or if it’s anxiety-related. My doctors are fairly sure it’s anxiety but I’m still having the tests done to double check.

[Hidden]

I got so many blood tests done .. now I want an MRI.

[anxiousgirl7]

I have this! It sucks

[Hidden in reply to anxiousgirl7]

I know so sad

[Hidden]

Does anyone wonder like how do I know if my symptoms are from anxiety or if it’s real that’s another thing that scares me

[Chellybean18 in reply to Hidden]

This is me Every day but after clear CT scan and countless blood work Idk what else it could be!
