Hi everyone, haven't been on here in a while.
I have suffered from HA best part of 10 years now. The most recent attack has been the worst by far. Few weeks ago I found out my husband had an affair, it absolutely shocked me. I was ok to begin with, wanted to save my marriage and took control. Then after three wks my husband went down with Flu, so little effort was being made by him as he was ill. I started to withdraw from him, suddenly out of the blue symptoms started to show up that I had never had with Health Anxiety before. I suddenly felt dizzy/giddy, that feeling was followed by a temple headache that would not go away with tablets.
Suffering with health anxiety I rushed to the GP, she said it was all anxiety and my real issue was my marriage, I needed to take control again and deal with the bigger picture. I have since visited 3 seperate doctors, seven times refusing to believe I can give myself such weird horrible symptoms. I feel dizzy on and off alday, couple with this weird headache thats around alot of the time. I am very depressed and keep crying over the situation with my husband..
Any offers of help with the dizziness/lightheadedness. I don't like it, I want to believe my doctor but keep thinking it's not anxiety but a real brain problem, like a tumor. I have had a brain scan about 4 years because I wouldn't accept the doctors diagnoses, I don't want to end up having another one done just because I won't listen.
Please help....
