Dizziness and Anxiety

[aburkitt]

Hi this is my first post here and never thought it would get to this point, but it has. I’ve always had bad health anxiety. It started when my grandpa passed away from dementia and then my mom died from brain cancer. I have always been worried and the past few months I’ve had a constant dizzy and off balance feeling. I just feel like I’m in a different zone and everything is moving around me, but I’m moving at a much slower pace. I’m scared to have a CT scan done because I’m afraid they’re going to find a tumor and I’m going to have to relive the night my mom was diagnosed. It’s so hard to focus at work and I honestly don’t know what I should do anymore. Please help.

Welcome to this community and kudos to you for reaching out. There are a lot of knowledgeable caring people here who will listen and share their experience strength and hope.

My first question would be, “have you talked to your doctor(s) about this? I found, in my case, I needed to seek out professional help (first to rule out physical problems).

You’ll hear from a lot of people who will relate to your symptoms, so that may help steer you in the right direction.

Keep posting

Thanks for the reply. I’ve reached out to multiple doctors and they all seem to think it’s mental.

I tried to deal with my anxiety by myself and the symptoms you mentioned got so bad, I went for help. I see a therapist for counseling and a psychiatrist for meds. I no longer wake up TERRIFIED of the day. Then I’d get debilitating depression.

Being afraid for your physical brain health sounds like it comes from a valid place. My father died of Alzheimer’s and I question myself when I can’t find my keys.
