Last weekend I felt a tiny bit dizzy on the sunday but I had little sleep the night before so wasn't too concerned then on monday night I had a head rush, again I was stressed and tired, id done lots of driving that day. On the tuesday I was worrying myself sick so I saw my GP, he listened to what was wrong (didn't treat is just as anxiety) he said 'right lets look to see if there is anything sinister going on' to which I felt sick.
He did my BP & pulse, he said both were normal so he didn't think it was anything serious. He then looked in my eyes, said no pressure on the nerves. He advised an eye test though just to put myself at ease and he said they can see alot more than he can but when I said 'why do you think there could be something?' he said 'no not at all, its nothing serious. Its just to check your eyes because of the floaters but im sure its nothing as they are normal' I went away feeling reassured but then since that head rush ive been feeling kind of giddy and feeling sick at times. I also have VERY heavy eyes, like I need match sticks to keep them open type feeling. My hubby & family say im just tired and that can make you feel giddy but focusing on feeling abit giddy will make it seem ten times worse.
A very good friend of mine looked up the symptoms of brain tumours and anurysems (sp) as she knew I was frightened about them. She said the symptoms were not like mine and that they were very serious such as fits, confusion, high bp etc.... but I can't help but still worry.
I had 6 hours sleep last night, I have 3 children. I usually do have 6 hours sleep, sometimes I wake once to pop a dummy in a mouth but other than that I get 6 hours. I can't see that that would be causing this heavy eyed feeling. My head just feels very tired and woozy/fuzzy, sometimes like im swaying but hubby says im not. Does anyone else get this? could anxiety really be causing this?
Should I be reassured that my BP is normal? my mum sister had a brain tumour and my mum said her BP was sky high and that her GP has always told her that a dr can tell by the eyes if they have a tumour. I am still worrying though. I also had a full blood count last week to check my ferttin level and to check for anaemia, the full blood count was totally normal and my ferritin has risen to 25.5, still low but its going up now. My friend and hubby said no way would my full blood count be normal, something would be high or low if I had a tumour or something like that.
I am not having headaches, slight ache now & again but as I know they are a late symptoms as the brain cavity is under alot of pressure im paranoid ive early signs.
Can anyone help me and reassure me? I was due to see the optician yesterday but yet again my mum let me down and turned up 40 minutes late to babysit my children, I was really upset as I thought an eye test would really of reassured me:weep:
Great bank holiday for me and my family, I hate feeling so anxious, its not fair on them, they deserve a happy mummy.
