My gp came out to see me again today, he did all the same tests as 3 weeks ago if not a few more. Bp sitting and bp standing. Both fine. Oh he didn't look in my eyes this visit Britain he did 3 weeks ago and they were ok. He did finger touching nose test. Stood me up and watched me walk. Ran fingers down arms and legs. Rubbed keys twice under my feet. I had to squeeze fingers, push hands, push legs against him. Oxygen was 99.1% was 100% last time. He did knee reflexes and both reacted. He said nothing serious he said both ears fine but he's putting me stemitel to see if it helps incase it's inner ear but he's sure it's all anxiety and recent stress. He said it should settle on its own though and he thinks it's still been from stress but possibly ear even though looking therre were no signs of it.
So he tried to put my mind at ease about anything serious feeling these off balance feelings. I told him it feels like I've just got off a trampoline when I walk. Like the ground is unsteady and I feel the ground moving under me. I've no spinning in my head or objects moving. My head can feel woozy at times when I'm walking but it's mainly a feeling I will fall through the floor or topple over. It's scaring me so much the longer I have it. It's making me feel low and anxious. I can't go out right now.
He ran bloods. Thyroid, fbc ferritin and cholesterol. Just to put my mind at rest. He said he's sure I am fine. I told him I'm scared stiff it's a brain tumour but he said I am ok
It been 3 weeks and I am so afraid I get scared walling around my house. Every time I do I feel heavy all over and like the ground is moving and feel inside my head I am swaying.
How can I accept this and carry on as normal? It's terrifying me and so very real. I've had anxiety years and never had this. I've never had vertigo either. He's said to try the stemetil but I hate new meds so I am afraid on start them. Arghh.
Thanks for your continued support through this. I'm so upset right now it's almost Christmas and I feel I am unable to feel excited or get in the spirit because of this
