Greetings all,
I've had stress disorder (anxiety related) for years and have made great strides towards recovery and getting back to living a great life. I've had ups and downs of course. I don't use any meds. (Didn't help/bad expereince.) I've done it all with acceptance, mindset work and lifestyle approach.
I'm really familiar with anxiety symptoms so I know what I'm experiencing during this flare-up can be stress/anxiety related. What I'm wondering is, if anyone has triggered their own symptoms similar to this.
Basically, it's been a fairly stressful moth at work and home and I've probably pushed myself too hard. One night about 2.5 weeks ago I was doing some housework but also some exercises in between.
I have this machine where you can do combo exercises/lifts. Basically, I laid down on my back and did some resistance pull-ups. They were extremely strenuous but I've done other heavy exercises for months and months.
When I stood back up, I noticed feeling some pressure, lighte headedness... maybe some balance issues. It came on somewhat slowly over the next hour or so but continued into the night. Was there heavy when I woke up the next day.
It's now been almost 3 weeks. I'm wondering if anyone has ever triggered their own head symptoms like this before? I've hit my head in the past and one time I had symptoms for almost a month after doing so. It seems like I may have triggered something again.
I'm not really looking to hear horror stories, that's not really helpful to anyone here. However, I'm trying to see if anyone can relate to possibly bringing on their own physical symtpoms via activity? And how you worked through it during that time and kept a good mindset about recovery.
Any advice, experiences appreciated. Thanks!

And sorry, for clairty of the symptoms:
Dizzy, spacy, off balance, issues walking, turning head creates dizziness, eyes trouble focusing, head feels thick, forehead feels light pressure, almost inflated, headache at times.
I realize these are all stress and anxiety symptoms. More wondering about the relation of them to the physical activity, triggering from exertion or contact, etc.
