Anxiety/ split second dizziness/ brain ‘jolts’

[NurseRuthy]

Hi everyone I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada. I have dealt with generalized anxiety and panic attacks off and on for over 20 years. Recently after the birth of my second child I have had a few episodes of vertigo....very scary and currently I take a medication ( Serc 16) to prevent them and have a working diagnosis of Ménière’s disease. I have terrible health anxiety. My anxiety and panic have worsened with these episodes. I am very tense, neck and head ache, intense pressure in my head and sinuses as well as frightening momentary jolts of disequilibrium and dizziness, almost like a quick terrifying surge of adrenaline. I have terrible health anxiety and I’m a nurse which doesn’t help as I see the worst or the worst. I’m so scared I’m dying of a brain tumour or have an aneurysm.....someone talk me down please .....

Sorry to hear that ruth. I also get symptoms, I am very tense, neck and head ache, intense pressure in my head and sinuses plus dizziness, blurred vision, insomnia and loss of apetite.

Im also scared of having brain tumor due to constant headache, i did 2 mri ang thanks God it was negative which assures me im safe but everytime i having headache cant avoid but worry more.

Now im convinced that its all because of anxiety.

Trying my best to get rif of this, will go for counseling next week. Have you tried it?

Hope we’ll get over this totally, lets keep the hope and pray harder.
