Hi Rachel -
Lightheadedness and feeling like you want to run are definitely anxiety symptoms. Believe me, I've had both many MANY times and have had every test known to man and it all boils down to anxiety/panic.
Try not to let your mind take the symptom and run with it hun. I know it's really hard but when you start to think about what it could be try to redirect your thoughts to something else. I used to think I had all kinds of things that the docs just missed but it was just the mind tricks that HA play with us.
Hope you feel better real soon :)

Hi there,
you have been given the all clear, so you need to remember that.
the thing with anxiety is the constant need to keep being reassured. But you need to try and break the cycle of getting reassured.

remember that you have been given the all clear so your symptoms are casued by the anxiety.

i know what you are goin through have been there myself.
