Hi,
Bit of a long one here, I really need some help as I am struggling to cope!
I started getting a tingly head and numbness on my face back in October. I then went on a business trip to Japan which resulted in me googling the symptoms of tingling head - to my horror MS and a number if other diseases started popping up! This then turned into panic attacks every night for 3 weeks in Japan! It was horrific... I thought as soon as I would return home everything would turn back to normal however I was plagued by this 24 hour dizziness and tingling of the head. This continued for around 2 months. The doctors all diagnosed me with anxiety however 1 referred me to a ENT. I ended up having an MRI which was clear, apart from an arachnoid cyst. I saw a neurosurgeon regarding this and she said its been there all my life.
No-one can figure out whats wrong.. here are some of my symptoms, dizziness (not 24 hours now but dizzy spells) tingling on face and scalp, pressure in ears, stiff neck, blurred vision, floaters. The doctors have suggested Migraines or BPPV however I am not sure. I am so scared of fainting or having a seizure.
Its ruining my life and I spend Christmas day in bed to scared to get up or leave the house. I am scared every time I get a dizzy spell something bad will happen or I will suddenly collapse.
Thankfully I had a course of 6 CBT on the NHS which really helped and made me considerably better but I still feel like there is something wrong with me.
I hope someone can help!
Thank you
