Freaking out
19-11-11, 20:00
I recently moved from a small town to a city so I know that a lot of people will say that is why I have anxiety but I dont believe that. I was fine for the first few weeks in the city and then I got a slight cold and ear ache and then a couple of days later in a shopping centre felt I was going to faint. It has been going on now for 5 weeks and despite doctors thinking it was vertigo or labryntitis I am still not better. Not that it is like a daily issue. I wake up wondering if today I will feel like I am going to faint. I never do faint but when the feeling washes over me the colour completly drains from my face and I have bags under my eyes.
I have started to think of my bottle of water as a life line that helps me through it. It is getting really embarrasing in work now though because when it starts I get really agitated, start moving things on my desk and then I am up and down to the toilet or going out for air. I dont understand why the doctors cant tell me what it is. Just this weekend I was meant to meet some old friends - I had been fine for 3 days and then today just as I went into a noisy place the colour went from my face and I felt i was going to pass out. My friends saw me and said I looked pale which made me feel worse so I had to leave them. I know that all the above probably sounds like anxiety but I fear it may be something else and I dont know what to do. If it was anxiety wouldnt the doctor have said that to me. They think it may be a tyroid problem as well so need to go see a ENT specialist but wont get an appointment for 2 weeks!
Anyone help on the above?
