hii, along with dizziness i’ve been feeling really spaced out and like a pressure in my head which is worrying. It’s there when i think about it but when i’m distracted it’s more or less gone.
Does anyone else have this ? and is there anyway i can ease it ?
Hi amyty19, I don't think there is anything worse than feeling out of control because
of that spacey headed feeling. The dizziness coming from anxiety should not be vertigo.
That is a different problem sometimes being the inner ear. I read one of your posts
stating that you have low iron and have been on iron tabs for about 2 months. Just so
you know whether iron is given by infusion or orally thru pills, it does take a while for
any results to be seen. Again, your doctor can monitor the progress through additional
blood tests if they feel that is the cause. An ENT (ear, nose & throat doctor) would be able
to tell you if the vertigo is coming from the inner ear.
If the diagnosis is anxiety, that would explain why you get relief when you distract
yourself. Our minds are powerful enough to allow a sensation to continue when we
focus on it. With anxiety, that spaced out feeling and pressure in the head can come
from tight tense muscles in the back of the neck. I have and still do carry all my stress
in the back of my neck. At one time getting daily muscle contraction headaches coming
from those neck muscles. Another thing (which someone else mentioned) is hydration.
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help the spacy feeling, the pressure in
your head and avoid any tension headaches. Our muscles need water to function properly
as well as our circulatory system.
Another thing I still use to this day is relaxation techniques throughout the day.
In particular, I use Meditation and Deep Breathing. Dizziness is a scary symptom
and is best treated by your doctor. They will decide what is best for you.
Wishing you well. Feel better xx
