Hello
I have registered with this site as I am desperate for help and understanding anxiety.
I am 29yrs old, married with a baby and a Primary School Teacher. 2 yrs ago I was an independent, confident, happy, healthy person.
I began to experience dizzy spells off and on and put it down to doing too much. They became more and more frequent and I came down in 2013 with a string of minor illnesses. For the first time in my working life I was signed off work, I became house bound and doing things sucha s going for a shower was such a effort.
I tried many types of medication and had a string of tests (I am still convinced something is horribly wrong with me). I have paid for an MRI scan I have seen the ENT doctor, I have had heart monitors, blood tests and seen a neurologist, all so far coming back with nothing abnormal. They say it is anxiety. I just don't believe them.
In 2013 I say a neurologist and they said that these dizzy episodes would subside. I have since had a baby, she is the best thing I have ever done, but I do not feel any better.
My husband is in the army and goes away a lot, but that has always beent he way since we met 8yrs ago and is nothing new.
I have to push myself to go out of the house. I refuse to drive because of these dizzy spells. I have never fainted, but feel like I am going to sometimes. I am half the woman I was, although 6 Stone heavier as I do not exercise or do hardly anything anymore. I experience heart palpitations on occasions, sweaty hands, feeling like there is something stuck in my throat.....I tick a lot of anxiety symptoms.
I really don't believe the dizzy spells are caused by anxiety, although all tests have proved normal so far. I'm so scared, I hate it so much. Has anyone experienced these sensation before. Has anyone come out the other side?
I want to eventually go back to work as I love my profession.
Thanks for listening, much appreciated
