Hi all.
I'm interested to know your experiences with this chuffing anxiety thing. Here's my story...
6 weeks ago I was sat on my sofa and I get a sudden rush of adrenaline pulse through my body for around 5 seconds, at the time I didn't know it was this if that makes sense, it's happened a few times since and can no recognise it.. Now I've always been a bit of a hypochondriac so i assumed it was something mad like a stroke or God knows what else.
The best day I went to work very worried about what had happened and it ended up happening again, so I called 111 and he booked me in for an out of hours appointment at my doctors and was given a neuro exam and was told I was stressed.
Since then I've been up and down, had numerous "episodes" of panic and stress, I saw "episodes" because I can't really characterise them as attacks, my heart rate increased and I couldn't settle.
I'll stop rambling but I feel I've sufficiently calmed down, I'm not getting the adrenaline rushes anymore but the one symptom that is persisting is a "fuzzy" head. My brain sort of feels tired of that makes sense. I can't really characterise them as headaches really. Just a sort of dense, fuzzy, tired feeling
I'm currently seeing a private neurologist to rule out anything more sinister, get my MRI results on Tuesday but he's confident its stress/anxiety.
I just wondered if this constant fuzzy, tired head feeling is normal? Or to be expected? Even when my general anxiety seems to be decreasing? If so, how do I get it to go?
Thanks.
