Dizzy, Sinking Feeling Posted: 04-05-06 20:14pm
Since november of 05, I have been feel
very strange. First, I started to
experience dizzy spells, a rapid heart
beat, and tremors. The doctors thought it
was low blood pressure or anxiety. It
was none of the above.
Now I am still feeling dizzy, but when I
walk it feels like I am stepping in
quicksand. My feet are planted firmly in
the ground but they feel as if they are
sinking. When standing still, I feel like
I am on a boat. It truly feels like I am
swaying back and forth. I also have been
having eye and nose pain and pressure,
tremors that are not visible (my entire
body feels like it is shaking),
clogged/popping ears and chest pain.
I have seen a cardiologist. The halter
monitor. Was okay.
I take allergy meds regularly
i drink plenty of fluids
i dont know what else to do. I need to
put an end to this vertigo now! :cry:

Dizzy Sinking Feeling... Posted: 04-05-06 22:21pm
Vertigo is the worst. It sounds like
there may be an issue with your vestibular
system. You should consider seeing a
vestibular physical therapist. I know
of one at the balance and mobility center
at wilmington hospital in de (you're in
philly, right?).
Anyway, I seriously recommend checking
into it.
Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

You may well be suffering from a vertigo
related condition, although what you have
describes is in fact one of many anxiety
symptoms. Anxiety can present itself
with many different symptoms in different
people so don't worry if the feeling of
movement hasn't been mentioned much on
this forum. Take a look at this website
I found for you http://www.Anxietycentre.Com/anxiety-s
ymptom/anxiety-symptoms.Shtml
it is a very good website and has
explanations on some of the symptoms...
Note the symptom 'the floor feels like it
is moving either down or up for no reason'
on the body symptoms section.
Hope this helps a little,
james

EDIT : Ooops, sorry, I just noticed the
message is from 2006, due to my eyesight I
thought it said 2008.
Wow, I suffer from the exact same thing, I
describe it as walking on a boat and
ropebridge, but quicksand is a good
example. I keep feeling like I am swaying,
and I feel dizzy too. I also suffer from
tremors, and twitches. What you wrote is
identical to me. The bad news is I have
had it for 10 years, with scratched heads
from docs, but I am having a neck MRI soon
to see if it is due to compression on the
spine, like ACM. It could also be down to
GAD, a General Anxiety Disorder, but I am
not sure. I think it is due to my inner
ear or neck.
