Q: Daily dizziness
asked by: lnicole on January 6th, 2009

i have felt the same way as many of you , for nearly 2 years:
daily dizziness- by which i mean feeling unsteady, foggy head- every day but to varying degrees and fluctuates within the day
head pain- mostly in the front and lower back- feels like pressure
feeling out of it and unfocused, not 100% there
occasional chest and arm pain
occasional "floaters" in both eyes
i do not have sleep issues
i have been to the dr numerous times, to specialists, and through lots of tests, and everything is normal
it is like i have forgotten what it used to feel like, being normal, when i didnt have to stress out about simple events like going to the store and having an episode waiting in line.
i know that anxiety is making all of this work but i am unconvinced that it is the root cause of everything.
i dread going to work each day, because i not always able to leave a situation, and calm down. i am constantly trying to convince myself that i am not dying of some strange undiagnosed disease.
i am considered going back to my doctor, who im sure thinks that i am crazy or making things up, or both, and getting more info / treatment ideas for anxiety. i am not convinced this is the issue but i figure it can't hurt and i dont want to feel like this forever.
please contact me if you have any ideas or just want to talk to someone else who knows how you feel and won't think that you are making it all up

well, i think you would be amazed to see how much of the US feels the same way as you do on a daily basis. this is really the condition of western culture rather than some strange undiagnosed disease.

how many people do you know who are happy, grateful, and at ease with life?

i don't think that you have any "medical" disease. i think like most people you are probably feeling overwhelmed, unsattisfied, confused, and a little scared of the condition of the world around us. it is completely normal to feel this way.

not that long ago, people used to live from the earth, spend time working outside every day - having both regular exercise, sleeping schedules, and an unbreakable connection with nature.

now we are locked inside in front of computers for most of our solar days, we eat junk, we don't exercise, and we watch terrible things happen on the news.

even if you take the healthiest person in the world and put them in this grind, they will become depressed and anxious about things.

the only thing you can do is to gather the strength within yourself to seek inner peace and balance in your life regardless of the conditions around you.

do you exercise? do you spend time with people that you love? do you eat healthy? do you strive for something beautiful in life?

all of these things come together to form the quality of our experience of life, and as long as we allow the world to intimidate us - it will.

we have the choice - and that is to remain paralyzed or to try to bring peace into our life and the lives of those we love.

i know how you feel, and often i feel it too. it's only a sensation, and there is hope.

does any of this make sense?

Hi, I have lots of dizzy spells, tiredness, and headaches. also floaters in both eyes. this all started after having my second baby 18 months age. I am on fluoxetine for anxiety but feel that somthing else is seriously wrong and worry constantly that I am going to drop dead at any moment. I also have trouble dropping off to sleep.

Well I only started it a few days ago, before that I took citalopram but it made me so tired. I was fine until after the baby, I had a terrible pregnancy (1st was fine). Had very high BP from 21 weeks and was in hospital a long time on lots of meds. Was on meds until a year after birth for high BP then suddenly went back to normal, I also had 2 miscarriages in the same two years as having my baby. Therefore the dr says I went through a lot and its understandable that I feel anxious about my health. I mostly get the symptoms when I'm doing something that I'm nervous about or when I'm in a situation when they've happened before. I'm getting very fed up with it all, been quite tearful this week.
