not able to think, strange feelings in head Posted: 05-18-08 18:31pm
So I have anxiety, for sure, and some
compressed vertebrae in my neck.
I get funny dizziness-like feelings, and a
feeling of tension in the fronthead,
cheeks, basically all over the face. It's
a feeling like the muscles have been tense
for long and now they're releasing
tension. Which would be good, only that i
feel faint while this happens. Also, I get
tooth pain, sometimes severe. My vision is
often somewhat blurry, although I don't
find this to be the correct term, on the
right. Sometimes in both eyes.
It's just a feeling of something not being
quite right in my head. I wonder if the
compressed vertebrae could cause this. I
hope there's an explanation that could
ease my anxiety.
Also, I have a feeling of pressure under
my eyes sometimes, and in between my eyes.
These feelings last about 30 to 60
minutes. I get them mostly when I'm sat at
the computer, when I go out, and when I go
to sleep. Basically a lot of the time.
As I've had TONS of symptoms which come
and go and ofund no explanation, I was
wondering if these are some of them. I am
afraid of tumors and the sorts. Also
epilepsy (maybe these are some odd kind of
seizures?)...what about synus problems or
ear infections too?
Now the "not being able to think" part.
I've had severe memory problems for a
while, by wich I would forget instantly
almost everything. That passed and
presumabely was caused by high stress.
Now, I have these times in which I feel a
sense of void in some area of my brain,
especially in my front. I feel like the
neurons just don't work there. And I do an
extreme effort to remember things, I get a
flash of them and then they're gone, lost.
It's too strange. This makes me fear brain
problems as well. It's like my brain
doesn't allow me to think of certain
topics. What's going on?
Thank you very much for reading.

Do you have a neurologist? If so, did you
tell him/her about these symtoms? If so
what was said.
All does not nessecarilly point to
depression all the time. Sounds like you
are becoming a little paranoid about
thinking what is wrong with you and that
is the worst thing to do. Could be you are
suffering from a little paranoia. You can
have every symtom in the book if you make
yourself think you have them. Although,
they are real to you, it is that part of
your brain that is telling you that you
do.
Could be you need to see a phycologist and
sort things out.
You are in the process of a bad fall IMHO
if you keep on the way your are going.
Please rid yourself of this and go get
some help instead of thinking this and
that and torturing yourself.

See a neurologist. You need to rule out
any neurological condition for your
symptoms. They do not all seem related to
stress and anxiety. An xray to rule out a
sinus infection may be indicated. Have you
seen your doctor about these issues?
Consider going to your doctor and then a
neurologist if you find no answers with
your primary care physician. All the best.

GipsyGrl,
anxiety. My dizziness is sometimes low
blood pressure. Then I get a sort of
vertigo too, which my doctor said is
related to cervical problems (stiff
muscles, nerves, goes to ear that is
related to balance).
These may contribute to the memory and
thought blockage problems too, bur
primarily it's anxiety.
In your place, I would go to a doctor and
do what he tells. Don't start thinking you
have something neurological as anxiety and
stress cause very similar symptoms
sometimes, and you have no way to tell. If
the neurologist tells you you are fine,
stick with that.
The "thought blockage" symptom I've had
seemed to be caused by extreme stress and
a common anxiety symptom called "brain
fog". It's destined to pass. I'm much
better now, I haven't noticed serious
memory problems for long.
But first, let a neurologist tell you
you're ok.

Seems as I looked back, you have had
similar problems last September. Have your
looked into anything since? Just curious.
