i get dizzy, blurred vision, always tiered, i'm going crazy!

not sure if you are male or female so excuse me if im wrong here, but are you on birth control?? I use to have the same feelings, i would even hulucinate all day long kind of, just see weird things in the room, lines and swirly things it was weird. Really irritated all the time and tired and un motivated. It was because i was on birth control and I'm not allowed to take birth control now because of this.
I've also been low on iron a lot and it can really mess you up so go check that out.

Hi There:

You also have to be checked for low blood pressure, buy one blood pressure monitor and check in your home. Sometimes when you have your blood pressure checked at a Doctor's office readings are not very accurate because of anxiety that causes increased blood pressure.
Also check your blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and Thyroid (T3).

Good luck,
ps: stay away from antidepressants IMHO

cashamby-

I have felt the same way since I've been 14yrs old (im now 27), and have always been told that it was a combination of anxiety and ADD. I was initially put on Paxil by my therapist, and forgotten about. My primary physican would just continue to prescribe it for me for 11 years. While I was on it, i would still get the vision problem and the surreal feeling, even though the anxiety was gone. It was almost like the problem was just covered up and not dealt with. At one point, I weighed 50 lbs more than I do now because of paxil. I also felt lazy and had no drive. I finally decided I was sick of taking that crap(paxil) and I successfully got off of the meds about a year and a half ago. I felt fine until about 6 months ago. Since then I've started getting anxiety really bad again and the other symptoms have worsened. I went back to my primary and he prescribed me xzanex to take as needed. It works but makes me forgetfull and dopey. I hate drugs! i know exactly what you are going through. Don't feel alone; it is very frustrating to try to explain to people and no one can ever give you any answers!!! I'm finally at the point in my life that i feel as if no one is going to help me but myself so i would really love to talk to someone experiencing these same problems. I know your post was at least two months ago and hopefully you will still receive this if you do please, please,please respond back. I would love to speak with you and i can only pray you have found a cure- or something to ease the strain. thanks. I look forward to your response.
best,
frustrated patient

You may be facing more then one issue here. If you have not recently, I would have both my eyes and ears checked. Fluided behind the ear drum can cause vertigo (dizzieness). Do you wear glasses? When was the last time you had a changed in your perscription or even eyes checked. I also agree with having your thryroid checked out. As I said, it sounds like you may be facing a gambit of issues here that could be possible unrelated. The doc may even opt to do an MRI of the brain if he/she feels necessary. I personally would not let these systems go diagnosed.
Last but not least, I would let the doctor that gave you the antidepressents know what is going on. Could well be your bodies having some side effects.
I wish you the best,

Everything that you have suggested has already been performed when i was originally having these symptoms because they thought that i had a tumor behind my eye, and also thought that i could be epilepic and all tests came back normal besides one abnormal spike in a eeg that they said was to small to be concerned about and fairly common. i do believe that most the symptoms i feel are anxiety related, i can live with normal anxiety sympyom it's the visual part that bothers me the most.

question:
do you have some kind of medical background because after looking at most of the message boards on here its seems that you have a response on most of them.

I do agree that these symtoms can indeed be realated to anxiety. But, you have to take into consideration that there are other illnesses the can also mimic the same. And since you did not mention that you had been already tested for if not all, most of what I would have recommended, I would only come to the conclusion that it would be a good idea if you did. Now that I know you already have and obviously covered most bases, I would just depend on what your doctor says is wrong. Have you seen a physciatrist or other for anxiety yet?

To answer your question, just click on my user name and look at my profile in (occupation).

If I can be of any help, please let me know.

Mssky-

Yes i have tried the physciatrist and therapist route.. and i had absouloutley no success at all. In the area that i live i do not feel as though it has the greatest medical personnel at my disposal, so im currently looking for someone to see in the lebanon , NH area at Dartmouth hitchcock, or in Boston,MA area. if have any suggestions that would be very helpful....

Also what do you mean by "I would just depend on what your doctor says is wrong"? didnt you say that you felt that all the bases where covered? if so why would you still think they were wrong?

Thanks

If I had to guess it would be Hypoglycemia, I have it really bad, and your describing the symptoms, I call it my virtual reality mode, next time you feel this way just eat an apple and see if it goes away.

I happen to love "House". If I were not on ehealth, I would swear I was watching T.V.

OK, I will not list all of you symtoms again that you listed above. I have seriously ran out of room on my white "House" dry erase board. And my mine is too old to for this much thought.
I'm fired! I have no clue what could be your problem. Or maybe I do.

BTW: Don't feel bad. I have fired 4 doctors already which one told my family I was terminal and going to die and not to put me back on the vent in Dec. Surprise! Here I am. Doctors are not Gods. Personally, I go for a second opinion on anything that is important or deemed life threatening.

LOL, Wish they had a team with Dr. House in every county. Wait! even he is wrong sometimes.

You do sound like you may need that paxil adgusted a bit. Those sure do sound like symtom's of deppression to me. Ahhhh, could be wrong. You've been to reputable eye clinic's? I'm taking it by your last post that you have yes? Just call me clueless then.

Mssky-
i hope you dont feel as though iam questioning your knowledge because im not. im/was just trying to figure out what your background is. Please tell me what you think it could possibly be so i can ask the Dr. when i find a new one that i feel comfortable with. also did you have any suggestions for Dr.'s in areas i mentioned earlier?

Thanks again for your on going help

Think healthy, eat fruits and vegetables, exericese and STOP thinking like you are a piece of nothing!

Well my dear friend fuller 340. You have said that it is your vision and I have worked for an opthalmologist, I will say one thing. There are too many things that it could be that you are way to young to have. Then there are a few things that hit at a younger age (mostly congenital or at birth and not noticed till later years). To be very truthful with you, one of the only things I could even think of would have to be cateracts or glaucoma. And you are like so young for that. Not to say it does not happen.
Seriously, I would go to (if you can afford or have ins) one of the best eye institutes you have in your area. They have the best of the best in those places. As a matter of fact the doc I worked for gave up his practice and went with an eye institute after I left as his assistant.
I really wish I could wave a magic wond and come up with at least half a conclusive idea for ya.

Control the stess!

Think!

Love, patience and self control.....

I was just wondering why this thread was started by cashamby and somehow has gone "Off Topic Starters" Topic? We also need to address this persons needs and try and advise also.

cashamby: I would suggest that you might see a neurologist to start with. Try and rule out anything with the brain. Remember, the brain is the focal point of all your motor skills and you bodies function. Ask your PCP what he/she thinks. I have close to the same symptoms and was surprised to hear the diagnosis.

Sorry this thread went off topic.

Sky

I have the exact same symptoms!, but i get sweaty palms too and sometimes worry when im out and almost panic and i dont know how to control any of this its getting really annoying, i think mine is anxiety related i havent been to a doctor as yet and im only 22, one week i will have the chronic groggy dizzy hungover feeling then the next week it will be gone, if anyone could help me also that would be really great!
Thanks guys

Of stress and anxiety. Don't let it go to long without seeing about it. Maybe run some blood test to see how your bodies chemistry is doing for starters. Then go from there.
