Hi everyone
My health anxiety has been quite bad lately with me worrying about various different symptoms one after the other. Things are getting better and I'm not too anxious about things at the moment but have got some more symptoms and thought I'd ask if anyone else has the same before it all starts to get out of hand.
My latest problem is with constant dizzyness. Some time last month I had a strange feeling in my bead which is hard to describe - but I'll call it a head zap as that's the nearest thing I can think of. I've never had this before or since, but immediately afterwards I started suffering dizzy spells which are getting worse and more frequent. It's not head-spinning type dizziness but feels like I'm on a boat and that I will loose my balance and fall over. I'm really struggling with stairs and when I wear heels and have found myself leaning on things to keep steady when just standing. My head also feels very foggy - as though its stuffed up and my eyes seem quite sore and a bit unfocused. It's hard to concentrate with all this going on.
I am trying not to get into a panic as I think these things are connected with my tinnitus which has got increasingly louder lately. I also have a problem with clenching my jaw and at the moment I have a very stiff, achey neck and shoulders due to my appalling posture when using the pc (which I do most of the day due to my job). It feels like all these things are connected and I have been thinking of doing something a bit more rational, like going to see a chiropracter rather than my GP complaining of a brain tumour or heart problems!
I just wanted to check if anyone has experienced similar and whther you could offer any advice ?
Thanks for reading :D
