Hi, I'm new to the site and not sure if I am having panic attacks (I've never had them before) or am ill.
For the last week I've had a headache and dizziness pretty much all the time. My head is throbbing and I've got ringing in my ears. Several times a day I get a head rush and feel like I'm going to pass out, and my heart feels like it's about to stop (sometimes when I'm dropping off to sleep, sometime at random times in the day). I also feel weak down my left side, particularly in my left hand.
I saw the doctor on Monday and she thinks I'm stressed, but I really don't feel stressed!! However I keep on crying because I'm now really stressed about my symptoms, and worried that there's something wrong with me! Reading the info on the site I now wonder if I'm having anxiety attacks, but I wondered whether they can last such a long time and be there pretty much constantly! If it is anxiety, when will it go away?? Hope someone can help me!! Thank you! Ali
