Unexplained Fuzzy/dizzy Feeling

Maybe the headaches are being caused by tension in the neck/scalp/head. Have you been under stress/anxiety recently? The drunk foggy feeling I have experienced, mine was cuse by anxiety/stress.

Hi there

i also suffer from sinus problems,(had an operation 5 years ago to remove a bloackage in my right hand-side sinus tubes), and also experience what I would describe as 'fuzzy' feeling. I feel the same as you described, plus I get headrushes sometimes when I stand up, needing to hold on to a wall for suport. I dont get very stressed but do get quite anxious about things.I feel that I need to drink lots of water when this happens, which is not frequently, but every few days at the most.



Also, sometimes this very strange sensation happens, where everything I hear around me seems to slow down!! + my hearing becomes very sensative.Ie my heart beat/breathing/sounds becomes very loud!! Its kinda scary and freaky when it happens. Im 29 years old and this used to occasionally happen when I was a child,but stopped when I was about 15. Its happened quite a lot in the last year again. The only way I can decribe it is 'every sound I hear around me seems to slow down into a kinda slow motion which has a common, dark, reconizable rhythm to it.>>very strange and quite disturbing!!>>no idea what it is.

Hi mic9393, I don't know if you're still on this board after a year and a half but I have been experiencing the same fuzzy headache tight squeezing feeling in my head and I hate it. I have had this ongoing for the past 4 years and it seems to ease off here and there but overall it is usually lingering. Do you still have this pain and have you had any diagnosis. I have had a CT, MRI, blood tests, had my ears checked, been to a psychologist, I have had my sinuses checked (I don't suffer any problems with my sinuses), been to a neurologist, been everywhere but they all say it's anxiety.?? I find it hard to understand when I am not feeling anxious?? Some times this feeling causes anxiety but not the otherway around. Do you or anyone have any answers??

I have this feeling too. From what I understand it is called depersonalization. The sensation of being in a dreamlike state or detached from reality. Mine is due to anxiety and depression.

I am at a loss. My dizziness/lightheadedness is either on or off. I feel fine and go about my day and then it just kind of appears like a thief in the night. I go through periods where it shows up every day or a couple of times a week for a while and then disappears for months on end. When I do not have these sensations, all is well. When it hits - it freaks me out and essentially throws me into a state of panic - the "what the heck is wrong with me?" mode. My doctor has since put me on Xanax for it - he is convinced it is anxiety-related since I have suffered from panic attacks in the past and they do run in the family. But it is only the last couple of years that the dizziness has been the symptom (assuming anxiety is the culprit). My prior anxiety symptoms included the racing heartbeat and the occasional chest tightness. The Xanax helps me to not panic when I feel dizzy, but is has not relieved the feelings of dizziness.

It really bothers me that I can feel completely fine for a couple of hours and than like crap for a few hours and back and forth.

I am thinking that it might make sense to closely monitor my diet. The book "Heal Your Headache" relays how migraine is much more than head pain and that dizziness is a very common symptom. Maybe there is a pattern to the dizziness that I am not seeing related to diet.

Any ideas are very appreciated.

I have this fuzzy feeling as well. It feels like someone scooped out the front part of my brain which doesn't make sense, I know, but that's how I explain it. I have been to the ER twice. Have had CAT scans, everything normal. My dr thinks I am having panic attacks but I have had panic attacks and this is not it. I really feel like something is wrong inside my head. I am on Xanax and yes, it does help for when I get those dizzy/fuzzy feelings butI really don't want to have to take it. When I get those feelings, I feel like everything is super bright and that I might faint. I get dizzy even sitting down and it can happen anywhere at any time. I hate it. To me, a panic attack is nervousness, sweating, palpitations, feeling of doom. It's nothing like that. I can just be working, or driving home and it hits.
