I think that is your anxiety, I experience this and have had it for a long time. My head sometimes feels as if it’s in a vice, I feel dizzy with pressure in my chest. You will not die, I,m 71 and have suffered with this since I was 28, it does affect our life because we are anxious people.

Did you have it constant? Even when you was really happy and nothing was going on

[Hidden in reply to anxietymadman123]

I,ve never been really happy but if i,ve been with family at gatherings is always there but shoved to the back of my mind and all I want to do is go home, i get the palpitations then too.

[anxietymadman123 in reply to Hidden]

So its still there when your not thinking about it?

[Hidden in reply to anxietymadman123]

I think it is anxiety big time, I was on a beta blocker but came off it because it made my blood pressure and heartbeat too low. I will see a cardiologist on dec 10th. I cannot figure it out sometimes because I get good days, I definitely have a social phobia. I worked all my life because I had 3 children to support but it did affect me.

I hope that you are okay x

[Hidden in reply to anxietymadman123]

Oh yes,I was brought up in the wilds of Wales,you just picked yourself up and carried on. You will survive this anxiety,you are young, I learnt to put on a front of confidence even though I wasn,t and held down good jobs. Thankyou.

I do all the time!It's awful and feel terrible 24/7.also like I will faint all the time.

[anxietymadman123 in reply to Minnie87]

I’m really scared I have to sit down because of it it’s so horrible what about your light sensitivity? Mines so so bad and my eyes go funny and I can’t walk properly I proper wobble

[Minnie87 in reply to anxietymadman123]

I get it sitting down too.its constant hell.

[anxietymadman123 in reply to Minnie87]

Yes same here it’s so horrible even when I try and sleep I get this jumpy feeling in my whole body

[Minnie87 in reply to anxietymadman123]

Just remember.its only anxiety.you will be okay.

[Rabbithole720]

I get it too. I feel like I’m pushed off balance and I try to come back from it then it happens again and the anxiety kicks in. But I’ve been going through this for 6 months now and have had 2 ct scans and 2 mris and ent eval and nothing. Anxiety is awful it was torture us over and over. You have to shake up the energy change the scenery keep pushing thru. It will try to get the best of us

[anxietymadman123 in reply to Rabbithole720]

It’s really weird aswell I was literally just sat there then and my ears went deff for about 5 seconds I could hear people but very very faintly I just want it to end

[Minnie87]

I don’t think it is in this case though.he has severe anxiety disorder.only a doctor can diagnose a physical illness.

[anxietymadman123]

I was thinking anemia aswell but now I’m getting bits at a time where my heating will go in both ears and I’m sweating more and really really tired so I think it may be my ears or something but again I’ve had a mri and nothing back that was on my brain

Hi, I had this symptom starting off i would feel like the room was spinning and i would have to hold onto things, also dizzy when getting up and being on a lift, a and simple blood test said I had iron deficiency from not eating enough through my anxiety. Nothing to worry about It is easily corrected with iron supplements so worth going and getting a blood test done XX

Also just worth saying iron deficiency isn't anemia, they are too different problems! Anemia is from loosing blood which you would know about and is very, very uncommon in men as they don't have periods. Plus you would have to loose a lot of blood to develop it, hence why it's common in women. Iron deficiency is very common, one of the most common, as it's mainly from neglect yourself with your diet which is easily done when your going through the bad times of anxiety, but as stated above it is very easily corrected with suppliments and diet, please try not to worry... it is very unlikely you have anemia xx

[anxietymadman123 in reply to Littlemissbedford]

I eat so much tho that’s the thing

Hey anxiety madman!

Everything you describe is consistent with anxiety. When the nerves in our bodies are sensitized (think of them as wide awake, a little irritated) the sensations and feelings are truly unbelievable and the list is quite endless. The human body is incredible.

You have seen the doc and they've done the routine blood tests, correct? And it included a thyroid check, yes? And they've said it's anxiety? Then it's anxiety. You can cast away all your notions about what they may have missed. Then start accepting. True acceptance means you've learned to ignore the symptoms, live alongside them for the time being, and accept that your anxiety is incredibly good at its job and misfiring, causing all these bizarre symptoms. This is the path to recovery. The resources for recovery that I like so much are on my profile- you can check them out if you like Wishing you all the best!

I’ve had it off and on for a couple of weeks. At one point I think I had it for about six months. I was playing basketball with my daughter today and I had to close one eye to shoot the ball. Mine will come and go with a tension headache. Doctors can’t find anything wrong with me either. Don’t worry the symptoms will change to something just as annoying soon enough.
