Hi. For the past 2 months, I have been feeling off. Symptoms include: light headiness/dizziness, disorientation, trouble concentrating, fear of death and having a brain tumor that is causing me to feel this way, feeling out of whack and out of sync, lack of desire, feeling hopeless, shortness of breath. I went to the doctor about 3 wks ago, she said that it could be allergies as I had congestion and mucus, even though I didnt feel congested. The Doctor thought that it was allergies because she said that lightheadiness/dizziness is usually felt during an actual anxiety attack.. I cant say that I have been having attacks. It just these persistent symptoms that linger through out the day… Is it true that the dizziness only comes during an attack or is it normal to feel the dizziness/light headiness without an attach?
So, she gave me Veramyst. I am also low on vitamin D and B12 according to blood tests. I have been taking vitamin D of 5000IU X2 a day for the past 2 wks, a multi vitamin for the past month, and B12 shots for the past 2 wks ( 1 shot per week). I was starting to feel a little better, the light headiness/dizziness subsided a little bit but I started to feel crappy again about a week ago to this day. Im 29 yrs old, my blood pressure/blood sugar is on the low side and I know that this can cause light headiness/dizziness but I have never felt this much of it before… I do have an anxiety disorder which I was taking alternative meds for such as 5 HTP, Supren, Macca. I stopped taking these meds about a year ago because I felt better and all of a sudden, about 2 months ago, I got a dizzy spell and it was hell from there. I dont know what is causing me to feel this way, maybe I have a chemical imbalance again as I did the a few yrs ago which is when I started taking alternatibe meds. Or could this be because of the vitamingdeficiencies becuase the supplements havent taken their full effect yet? I dont know… Could it be low blood sugar? If so, how does one increase low blood sugar? I live a healthy life, I exercise, I eat healthy so it cant be my diet that is causing this…
Is it normal to feel all these symptoms and then feel better slightly and then start to feel these symptoms all over again? This is really scary and even though I have felt all this before minus the lightheadiness/dizziness in this extreme, I am still afraid…. I dont want to take anti depressants, the thought of that alone scares me… Id rather treat it with alternative meds if this is in fact anxiety that is causing me to feel this way. It is not an inner ear infection, I had it checked…

It is just weird that I started to feel better when I started to take the Veramyst and then a week ago, I started to feel off again… Are these all symptoms of anxiety? I have this fear that it is a brain tumor but then I calm myself down by saying to myself that if it was a brain tumor, the symptoms would get worse and be very severe… I dont have headaches or migraines…my personality has not changed. I just get these dizzy spills which may or may not trigger the other symptoms….

Any advise would be appreciated as to what this could be and if this is normal.. I know I m asking a lot of questions but I didnt want to miss anything…

Thanks

in Febuary i got bronchitis, it was pretty bad, was sick pretty much the whole month and constasntly short of breath to the point of going to the E.R. on three occasions, the bronchitis has cleared up now but i have been short of breath ever since. i have been to the Dr. and pulminologist SOO many times since then 10-15 in past 3 months! i have had 2 chest x-rays, a test to check for pulminary embolism, ct skan, a couple blood tests and a pulminary function tese, they all came back normal. the pulminologist said i have mild asthma but thats it. now this shortness of breath is not all from asthma, i dont think i have asthma period but i guess it could be possible, but not like i would notice because i can never breath normally anymore!!
1.its constant its from the time i wake up to when i go to sleep. There are no "attacks".
2.i can still doing physical things, even run, it doesnt get any worse its just there.
3.it never bothers me when im asleep
4.when i can distract myself from thinking about it(this is rare, its hard to stop thinking about, i think about it all day!) it doesnt seem to bother me.
whatever is causing this it makes me miserable, i can never breath and at times i just wish i were dead. i search it on the internet all the time its like the only thing i care about anymore i just want to find out whats wrong so i can fix it. and i have thought i have had soooo many things. everytime i would read the symptoms of a disease with shortness of breath i would just know i had it like i felt 100% i had it that emphyseama, pulminary hypertension, pulminary fibrosis, etc etc literally like 20+ things i was terrified i had, now that theyve said im healthy i dont do it as bad it just seems likes somethings wrong all the time so occasionally ill start thinking i have something but can usually dismiss it now. i was already somewhat depressed before this started(not clinicaly diagnosed or anything but depressed all the same) but now im terribly depressed ill think of something like the future and it just seems like its like whats the point i cant breath anyway.i have some pretty bad anxiety as well like ill always be thinking omg what is that person thinking about me? what are they thinking about what i just said? and ill get really anxious about everyday things like for example which shirt should i wear? sometimes ill change like three times because ill think the decision about the shirt is going to have like a huge impact on my impact on my life/day. so idk could this be anxiety? depression? something thats just all in my head? i just cant believe im healthy(im happy to be but it just seems something is wrong) and this shortness of breath is torture!
its like its completly taken over my life like nothing really matters anymore.
thanks for response
for the asthma they put me on advair and singulair, i took the advair for a month and it did nothing for me so i quit taking it, i do still take the singulair though but i dont notice a difference, sinus’s are a lil clearer but i think the advair was causing the sinus problems. i sleep pretty good never really want to get up in the morning because sleeping is like the only time i get relief

I have been having intermittent anxiety symptoms for the last 18 months. Some days, I feel fine and I am able to go out and do things and then another day, my heart races all day and I feel terrible and trapped, unable to go out of the house. I am taking benzos and antidepressants but they aren’t doing much to make me feel better. If I am suffering with generalized anxiety, how can I feel good one day and so terrible the next? I keep thinking that something is physically wrong with me and that the doctors are missing what ever it is. I have had all kinds of blood tests, heart tests etc. Does anyone have any input?

I’ve been to SEVERAL dr appts because of having almost constant anxiety attack symptoms. I’ve had this for the past 2 months just after having my car break down. (I live with 3 rowdy kids, car keeps breaking, cant find a job, money getting low, dad died 8 months ago unexpectedly). All my symptoms include, high heart rate, high blood pressure, temp goes up to 99.5 or so, feel like my throat gets so tight and I cant breathe, feels like food getting stuck in chest, upset stomach, cant eat literally for days at a time (I force myself and keep drinking water).

I have been told by several drs its anxiety but had a hard time accepting it because its so scary and dont want to deal with it forever. I was prescribed a VERY small dose of beta blocker which i take 1/4 a pill and ativan for when it gets bad. I was also prescribed aciphex for possible GERD. The aciphex is working and the beta blocker is making my heart rate and bp low but it doesnt seem any of the other stuff is (breathing and throat tighening is CONSTANT and makes me feel like I cant eat). I have been evaluated soooo many times, EKGs, blood tests, CTs, Xrays, scopes, barrium swallow and I could keep going on and everything looks great. Im a 26 yr old female. I feel now like I cant even work because I feel bound to my house because when I get in the car I start shaking and cant breathe. This has been going on for 2 months now and I just NEED it to go away.

Has anyone experienced this and if so what can I do?? What works best OTHER then breathing, which I continue to try constantly. My mom and aunt had this at about my age and it disappeared for both of them just as fast as it came.

Hi. Almost a year ago I had an episode of Anxiety, Shortness of breath and dizziness. Went to the ER and after examination and several EKGs been diagnosed with pretty much nothing (neuro-vegetative disturbances) and prescribed to take calcium and magnesium supplements. Checked with my doc and he ran blood tests which came back normal, except for a mild Anemia (low Iron, magnesium and ionic calcium levels, not too low but near-minimum). Doc prescribed iron supplements. Gradually the sensation of not getting enough air pretty much dissapeared. During the summer I experienced a mild sinus Tachycardia (rate about 90-100) treated with Propranolol. Now my pulse is around 70 and I do not take any more pills for it – it sometimes rises especially after exercise, and doc told me I am not in the best physical condition (raises to about 90-95 for a few minutes after stopping). However, I still get a permanent feeling of Shortness of breath, not like my lung doesn’t fill normally with air, more like needing a good deep yawning or like my breathing muscles are too tense and can’t let me take a really deep satisfying breath – all is well until trying to inhale the last "bit" of air, when I get this sensation. Also my chest hurts, sometimes in the left area, sometimes in the right, almost always near the sternum. The chest hurts when pressed with my finger. Ribs are painful too. When I contract my chest muscles the pain increases slightly. The pain is not intense and goes away for a few days, comes back for a few days in some other area in my chest. Sometimes my ankles hurt a bit and my right hand, the small bones right near my fist. Fingers at my right hand are painful at times. These pains go away quickly when applying Ibuprofen or the like(spelled it right I hope) to the area. However they are back after some hours. I have done blood tests 3 times in the last year, went to 3 different cardiologists, had Echo of the heart, Echo of the abdomen, neurological exam, Spirometry, stress Echo,etc. etc, everything is OK. I went to the cardiologist when I was at peak with my symptoms and nothing was found I am currently taking mineral supplements and following psychological counselling since I have developed a strong fear that something is deeply wrong with me. When in session and days after I feel ok, no more symptoms. My symptoms are generally not very intense, I feel like my fear is amplifying them somehow. I am a 25 year old male, no heart disease or other medical condition, good health, good family health, not overweight, smoker (under 1 pack a day), not in best fitness (sitting job – programmer). My questions are: 1. If sometimes were wrong with my heart, would it have been diagnosed yet? 2. Need I do more investigations regarding my heart? 3. Does all this look more like a psychological condition than a physical one? 4. In a few words: how should I change my lifestyle in order to keep my heart healthy? Thank you for reading this message.

My mom is 50 years old. Lately she started having hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, anxiety attacks and heart racing episodes. I checked online and found that those may be menopause symptoms, except for anxiety and heart racing. Can the latter two things also be menopause symptoms? Or is it something more serious? Are there any blood tests that she could take to confirm it is all due to menopause?

PS – she had a hysterectomy several years ago (ovaries still remaining after the surgery), thus she cannot tell whether her periods stopped.

I have a constant yucky, swollen, sometimes constricted-feeling throat, VERY uncomfortable heart pounding & palpitations (i shake a bit because of it), headaches, and sometimes stomach aches. It’s pretty bad. Especially my throat and heart palps. I have no idea why I am having these symptoms. All I know is that the docs diagnosed me with an H. Pylori infection a few months ago. I’ve been sick ever since August. I was REALLY sick when I had the infection, so I think that maybe I am suffering from extreme anxiety from all of the physical and mental torment I went through… I am ALOT better than I used to be, but I still feel kinda sick. Somedays worse than others. I have had many tests done, such as 3 ultrasounds done of my heart, MANY MANY blood tests, urinalysis tests, an endoscopy (still waiting for biopsy results, but docs said everything seemed fine; no ulcerations, or inflammation. 24 Holtor Monitor, a stress test, physicals, etc. I look pretty healthy. I have a nice figure, and nice skin and hair. But I still think something else may be wrong. I know all my worrying could cause all my symptoms, but the feelings I have are really affecting my life. I’m only 17. I want to enjoy my life!! The docs can’t find anything else wrong with me. Nothing. I was diagnosed with the infection and got it treated, with a round of 3 diff. meds that I had to take for a month. Maybe it’s still there. Maybe not. The doc said I could live to 100 with how my heart was. I guess that’s a relief. I have had my thyroid checked, and some more stuff I think.

FYI: I don’t smoke or drink, I was always healthy normal teenage girl until I came back from Amsterdam on the bus ride home (I live in Germany), but I should get my heart trained more. But I’m just kinda lazy, lol. I ate some sea food, like clams or something at a Chinese resteraunt in Amsterdam before we left. Maybe just a coinncidence?

Any help, advice, thoughts, etc. are greatly appreciated!! ^^ Does anyone reccomend any special tests that they believe may help me in finding out what’s wrong with me?

Im 26 and have seemed healthy my whole life until recently. 6 months ago I was lifting a treadmill and felt a slight pop in my back. I began seeing stars and lost peripheral vision. Threw up for an hour and went to the emergeny room. They said my back might hurt next day, it did and i couldnt walk for a month and bascially figured out that I had a aura migraine. I’ve had slight weird symptoms since then like quick short brain rushes, and one week thought my phone was vibrating in my pocket but wasnt. I had my second migraine about 4 weeks ago but I woke up to it at 9am and wasnt as severe, i slept it off but felt hungover for 2 days. Then 2 weeks ago I went wakeboarding and wrecked alot and noticed I had alot of lake water in my nasal cavity and it had that bad lake smell that night. Felt drowned and definiately drank some.. Next day I seemed fine but was super sore all over. That night I had an aura so i popped 6 advil real quick and then the migraine came and it was somewhat bearable. I went to bed and the next day I woke up and I didnt feel right. This went on for two weeks, My vision seemed off almost like I was hungover or stoned or have a spot on my eye, or feeling like i was in a dream, I felt dizzy and vertigo but my hand eye coordination was fine so maybe its more like lightheadedness. The only thing closely describes it is an anxiety disorder called depresonalization. I kept thinking I’d wake up and it would go away but it didnt. I slept all week 14 hours a day and was still exhausted. I got blood tests and everything came back perfect, standard eye test came fine but i felt dizzy. I had an MRI on my brain and that came back fine too. Chiropractor said I have a very stiff and straight twisted neck and it looks like a herniated disc in lower back on the xrays. I play every sport though and my back hasnt all bothered me that bad. Ive gotten 2 adjustments since and starting to wonder if I even need to be going there cause i dont really have that bad of pain. I got a massage as well and she said I was unbelieveably tight. I noticed that it could be anxiety because I started spinning in the room when i saw xrays and had a panic attack, which has never ever happenend to me before. I also had clay colored bowel movements for a week and now its pure green and small bowel movements. I decided that since my mri and blood test came back super healthy that I have to have an anxiety disorder. I always have thought to have ADHD and my head talks to itself but I have always just felt pretty chill and used to it. Ive smoked weed for 6 years and never had anxiety problems except for the sometime paranoia after a smoke. Ive always been kinda hyper, funny, and pretty happy. I just got out of a 2 year relationship and have been sad at times, but never ever thought that anxiety was there or that I was sad more than the ordinary. I had rouger break ups when I was younger that I learned from..I never even thought anxiety even made physical problems as debilitating as vertigo or making me as sick as ive been if thats really what i have. I was reading so much symptoms on the internet I think I drove myself to panic attacks and anxiety, but i think its natural to start to flip out or have anxiety when your eyes dont work and you feel like you might die or your vision will never change. Because the first few days after that migraine I didnt have anxiety, just dizziness and weird feeling. Also around town people have been getting insane ragweed allergies, people who have never had them, I have a terrible nose and mri showed minor deviated septum. Ive always had bad colds in winter and allergies all summer. I decided to get sudafed, eye drops, chiropractic adjustments, massages and concentrate on thinking positive and laying on the floor and breathing well when I felt more dizzy. I stopped weed and alchol to try to take away anything that has an effect on anxiety. I felt the visual problems go away a little bit after 2 days of that but had alot more panic attacks. My mom gave me an adderrall to try from one of her friends cause it couldnt hurt to see what happens… I went to a festival after that and had a few beers and felt good then anxious then good then anxious. I met up with a friend later and went out and got wasted and for once actually felt like I was feeling kinda normal. I had brown stool finally last night after drinking and woke up hungover today but I feel like alot of my visual stuff and panic is gone.. I was even able to go to work today first time in 2 weeks. I decided my green stool is very unexplainable so I looked for answers today and read about having human parasites. I ingested a ton of lake water when I was wakeboarding and I found that some lake water parasites have caused people insane anxiety and vertigo ajnd neck stiffness and confusion. I have almost every single symptom of a parasite except diarrehea. That could also explain why after 2 1/2 weeks I

im 20 and have had symptoms such as upper back and chest tightness, left arm pain, palpitations and increased fatigue for the past six months, all of which are constant and on a a daily basis, i never had any of these symptoms before then as they just appeared suddenly. i have had ekg and worn a 24 holter monitor which shows no problems and my doctor says that it is probably anxiety related which i am not completely ruling out. however other things worry me such my exercise capacity has decreased, i used to normally do 5km runs once or twice a week, but now i can only jog 4km without my back and chest getting unbearably tight along with diziness and blurred vision before and feeling like i am going to pass out before i make myself stop. can anxiety cause this? should i get other tests done such as blood tests or echo or stress test? my doctor thinks these aren’t necessary? thanks in advance

ok my boyfriend of 6 months, who has suffered from anxiety and mild depression in the past, has had a drastic change in lifestyle and I wanted a few opinions from anyone who can spare 5 mins.

He used to drink and smoke heavy and take anti depressants before meeting me, which he doesnt do anymore. He he is also eating better and had a circumcism in Apr, just before he quit cigarettes. Needless to say he he traumatised, in pain and also very very ratty for a while but since then has been a nightmare with anxiety, hes paranoid, analyses everything and very insecure, He also has many physical symptoms too such as lack of concentration, dizzyness, moodyness, OCD behaviour, and many more, and has lost 2 stone in weight.

Doctors did blood tests to rule out anything bad, but want to know if these are symptoms of depression, stress, quitting cigarettes or just change of lifestyle?? He is driving me mad! Any help?

ok, so i have been having all the symptoms of panic attacks, and every one of the 4 doctors i’ve seen came to the same conclusion…anxiety disorder, panic attacks…

they did cat scans, holtor monitor, ekg, thyroid tests and ultrasounds, and multiple blood tests

Anxiety attack hit me twice this week. The first time it struck me, I was sent to ER and CT scan, EKG, blood tests were all normal. However, after that attack, I felt my left foot swollen (although not obvious from its appearance). Also I noticed that I got eye floaters sometimes. When anxiety attacked me the second time, my left foot felt heavy and pretty swollen (but again not very obvious from appearance). I was wondering if swollen foot and eye floaters were all the symptoms of anxiety/panic attack? Or I have something else to worry about (like heart disease, diabetes….)? Thanks very much for the help in advance!
Yes, I did feel my left foot swollen big. It’s like my left shoe suddenly becomes tighter. However I don’t have this kind feeling on right foot or both hands. Also the swollen feeling lasted for several hours. How did you make anxiety attack go away forever? Thanks very much for your help!
I was hit by anxiety attack the first time while in office. Second time I was hit while I was working out (suddenly my left foot felt pretty heavy and swollen, then tingling on both side, nauseous….). Doctor did prescribe ATIVAN for me. However, is it safe to take it everyday for a couple of months? Thanks!

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and the doctors after running a series of blood tests are convinced that this is the cause of my fatigue. To what extent can anxiety cause fatigue?
