I feel exactly the way you do mrectorl. I went to see the specialist about my sinuses and we came to an agreement that it is the anxiety making the sinus problems worse. Since then i have thought back and realised that an awful lot of my syptoms i have had over the last 2 yrs on and off have been the anxiety.
However still new symptoms appear and still i worry over them and like you say it goes on and on and im not sure how to stop it.
Im hoping that a lot of it is the pressure of the kids, work and having so many things to remember and so when we break up for the summer i HOPE it eases off for a while. This last week i have felt really tired and a bit dizzy from time to time, the twitches have calmed down a little but now i have these others pulsating type sensations in my arms and legs, when i have convinced myself they are down to anxiety then i may get on track again.

You just took the words right out of my mouth, on what i feel most of the time.....maybe we can talk about about this because it would help me out a lot, and you too?

Me too,this is how I feel every day and I hate it, what can I do to feel alife and beeter,please please help me.

hi,
for me it all started 4 months ago, i quit smoking, i was finishing up school, i have a 2 year old a husband that works 3rd shift, planning for another baby, a neice that died, and my inlaws are all crazy!!! It started with a panic attack, and then i had a throat infection, and an inner ear infection, then it went on to always clenching my teeth, tightness in the face and throat.. i always think that i have something more wrong with me than the drs. are finding.. and i always think when am i going to have another attack?!?!?! i feel like i'm going crazy, i'm dizzy... my husband wants to scream from hearing me talk about it everyday.. i feel depressed, stressed and nervous all the time.. i cry all the time!!! i just want it to go away! i keep telling myself that its just stress but i cant help to think that i have tumor or something like that!~!!

You definitely need to find a way to let go of the stress because that is aggravating your other problems. Think therapy and/or meditation. Maybe some muscle relaxants or other meds temporarily.

Are the infections and other organic causes of dizzyness cleared up or ruled out?

If so, for symptomatic relief of dizzyness:
* meclizine/dramamine
* betahistine
* cinnarizine/stugeron
* Voltaren gel applied behind the ears

The middle 2 are not available in US pharmacies but can be had over the internet.

I have read the numerous responses to your question, and it's good to know that so many have taken the time to get back to you. I also, noticed that you posted the question/statement on July 10th and that you were going to get a CAT scan in 10 days if you did not improve. Have you had your scan? What were the results? How are you feeling now? We'd like to hear back from you? Additionally, concerning the responses ... it appears that the medical conditions of each person seem to vary to some degree. But to most of them I would advise 2 things: (1) symptoms like; jaw pain, dizziness, foggy/tight head feeling, tingling in the arms/legs, fatigue, etc; are ALL symptoms of a conditions called Fibromyalgia Syndrome. And because the brain is overloaded with symptoms that do not seem to relate and cannot explained or diagnosed by the physician, people panic and that leads to further complications of assumed mental disorder.. Now, I've read that many have gone to the ER or have had their physician perform and exam that did not reveal any BP issues. However, keep in mind that you know your experiencing the symptoms and also that blood pressure changes every second of every minute. So, if you have the symptoms right now and tonight you see a nurse or doctor, you're not going to get the same results. It's known that when insufficient blood flows to the brain, brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, a person can feel lightheaded, dizzy, or even faint. For example, going from a sitting or lying position to a standing position often brings out symptoms of low blood pressure. Also, remember that some of you may have "high" blood pressue, but that does not mean that you are not experiencing "low" blood pressure symptoms due to your medical condition. With a rapid change in the blood pressure, you can have a symptom at say 10:36 am and if I check you blood pressure at 10:41 am I may find nothing wrong with you, when in fact you do have a medical condition that needs attention. Best wishes to all of you ...

Hi,

I too have been suffering from attacks described above. I have been to the doctors once about 4 months ago and he assured me that it was anxiety and nothing serious. I agree with all of you when you say this doesnt really help as it is affecting my life. Hearing others have the same problems does help but still i would love to be able to regain my 'normal' life!

I also want to reassure miffy100, as when i am experiening the dizzy spells i feel weak and when having a stronger attack i have shaking in my arms and leg (mainly my leg) which I cant contol. I also go very hot during the spell and then amfreezing afterwards.

Hope this help.

Its great knowing its all panic and anxiety related! Ive been struggling with this stuff for about 4 years now, the unbalanced feeling, the tightness in the forehead, the dizziness, and Im tired of it! I stay out of breath. I do with it would go away and just leave me alone. Im 23 and it makes me feel like a little kid! Like I have no control over my life! I hope it goes away soon. I keep praying for my healing, but its all in the Lords time, not mine

I was having panic attacks a couple times a week last fall, mostly at night when I would try to got to sleep. When I was awake I felt nauseous, jittery, confused, I kept squinting for no reason. It was very hard to function. I am mostly better a year later. I've been taking 100 mg Zoloft for about 8 months. I also have 1 mg Ativan that I take less than once a month when I feel really anxious. I still have days where my anxiety slows me down, but I've made a dramatic recovery since last year. I tried a few anti-depressants before Zoloft and had bad side affects. Zoloft has been great for me. It takes about a month to start working, but it really starts to help.

I've suffered from the same things I'm reading here. I've battled major stress, severe panic attacks (which I've mostly overcome), and anxiety... Stress and worry are killers. These are just other names for "fear". Matt 6:24-34 Jesus tells the people don't worry about anything, cause you can't control all the aspects of life (my paraphrased version). Nonetheless we do battle worry and fear. Someone said in a post (above) to command the subconscious mind by telling yourself positive things for it to dwell on. this is very good advice. The subconscious cannot distinguish between reality and unreality (this is why you cry or get excited watching a movie, etc. knowing consciously it's not real, but subconsciously the mind cannot distinguish the difference - I can go on and on with examples but point made, hopefully). The same post also stated that we weren't born with anxiety. Stress and anxiety are learned and that's good news... it can be controlled because it's all in the mind.

Additionally to deal with the physical symptoms - by far not having mastered stress and worry - I sometimes see an acupuncturist who has helped tremendously. I know that sounds strange to those who are familiar with Western medicine which basically believes you ingest a chemical to cause a chemical reaction (meds) to fix a problem or you cut into the body to fix it. There's certainly a place for that BUT there's something to be said about 4000 year-old Chinese medicinal practices that can work VERY well. If the doctors can't help then there's no harm in seeing someone who is proficient in Chinese Medicine to see if one can be helped (there's nothing to lose and perhaps all to gain). I'm not a doctor.. just someone looking for the answers and relief. Having been helped by Accupuncture I'd say it's worth a shot, especially is Western medicine can't seem to help, or even find a problem.

Best Regards and God Bless.
