Hi all, I am new here just joined tonight so please be patient if something similar has been posted previously.
Ill start at the beginning. Im a 23 year old female, I am healthy physically (as far as im aware) mentally im ok... I have suffered depression in the past stemmed from PND! I have suffered with anxiety problems for around 4 years now.
My symptoms started on saturday afternoon at around 4.30pm, hubby and I were sorting dinner and I suddenly felt dizzy so had a sit down, I figured its probably because I hadnt eaten since 10am and hadn't drank much either. I ate dinner drank loads of water, litres of it! I had some chocolate (incase it was sugar levels)... still felt the same at bedtime (11.30pm)
Woke up sunday, felt ok for a few hours, dizziness returned, like a floating feeling, drunk almost! , again I had some sugar and water etc to no avail :( monday and tuesday were pretty much the same despite eating and drinking normally. Today I woke up and felt much better, no dizziness until around 4pm when collecting my daughter from nursery, this time I really felt like I would faint!! It has been on and off all night, feeling off balance, lightheaded, drunk without consuming alcohol? I dont have any other symptoms apart from a very slight headache (tonight only, no other days) and I will occasionally see blurry spots or tiny black dots in my vision.
I did see my GP yesterday who basically shrugged me off, said it was most likely a viral ear infection and it would clear up within a week or two! No offer of blood tests etc! I am starting to worry now what it could be, I have no ear infection signs etc, she didnt even look!?! Its completely messing up my life atm, I have two kids who i feel unable to look after properly because im so fuzzy(?) so greatful for my husband atm! Could anyone shed some light on this? I havent been stressed or had any illness or injury just random dizzy spells, no panic attacks no anxiety attacks. I cant take this much longer :( :mad::wacko::scared15::unsure:

I should have added I am not on any medication atm and haven't been for over a year so this cant possibly be a side effect if any drug, I dont have any history of dizzy spells before now and ike stated previously I have no other symptoms. I have an eye test booked for friday incase its just my vision causing problems, and plan to make another appointment with a different gp if this continues to friday!
