Hi all,
About 18 months ago I woke up and couldn't move with dizziness.. The room wasn't spinning but I felt like I was falling to one side. I could barely sit up an had to focus on something to try and stop the sensation.. It happened a few times and doc said I could be allergic to chocolate.
I cut chocolate put of my diet and was fine for alittle while, however now I keep having similar symptoms.. Not as bad but still really scary and debilitating!
My balance is a huge issue.. I can be sitting at work an suddenly feel like the world tipped, I struggle to stand still for ling periods of time because I sway an feel like I'm going to fall over. I sometimes feel like I'm on a boat when I'm walking. My ears block very easily (I work in hilly Derbyshire so when I'm driving around my ears block with the height of the hills). My ears and head sometimes feel pressurised. My ears feel full and I get pains down the side of them and in my glands.
Just yesterday, I tipped my head to the side, put it back up again and I got horribly dizzy.. The room wasn't spinning but I felt like I was falling to my left.. It completely sent me off balance, my ears struggled to focus and it got me into a huge panic attack.. I'm still nit feeling 100% this morning!
People have said it's anxiety.... Can this really be true?
I feel there's something wrong but I'm scared to go to the docs incase there is really something wrong with me! Or incase he dismisses it as anxiety without doing tests which he always does!
Does this sound similar to anyone?
What sort of tests have u had done on yours ears/balance?
It's affecting my life and I keep thinking itl get so bad that il end up in bed all day every day having to quit a job I love! (dramatic I know, it's just really scaaring me)
Thank you x
