Hi All,
I am new here, and am constantly worrying about my health which causes me great anxiety.
I have been having episodes where I'll be talking to someone, and the whole world seems to swim away from me and my mind goes blank. It feels worse than just being dizzy or forgetting words, it feels like i have almost disappeared form my head. I know that doesn't make much sense but I don't know how else to describe it. I also then get very panicky when this happens, but don't feel like the panic caused it, but was a reaction. I haven't been feeling particularly anxious today but have just had an 'episode'. I really thought I was just dying - i was on the phone to someones and suddenly this mind blankness happened and I had to hang up.
I now feel very anxious and have a lot of tensions/pressure n my head. I went to the doctor last time this happened and he did basic checks and didn't mention it much but I am terrified of stroke, tumour etc... Is this just me being mad? I don;t know what to say to the doctor if I went back as it is just such a weird and scary sensation that I am not describing very well at all.
