ive been like this for over 4 months now. mine started when my daughter was one. I, too am convinced there is somet up with my brain. I have tension/pressure headaches all the time, blurred vision, problems with my hearing. I had a clear ct scan 3 months ago but i still dont feel any better. I am really dizzy especially when i stand up from sitting. I am exhausted all the time, ive given up going to the doctors coz they are not doing any more referrals. They offered me citralopram but i refused, had a bit of cbt which was helpful. Until you have a 'clear' diagnosis from the doc, nothing will put you r mind at ease but i found spiritual books quite calming and reassuring. you on any meds?

Hi michelle

I have suffered the dizzy/head pressure for a few years now. It gets bad when my anxiety is really high and the does settle down after a few months.

Are u on any meds, i did find meds worked for me

Hello and welcome, seems like a comon post baby thing anx, have to admit I normally do tend to worry but it really flaired up about 3/4 months after my son was born. In a strange way I have managed to get it under control a bit after a year!! mine started with the pressure in my head, I am now terrified to try for no 2 in case it all kicks off again after the birth!

My dizzyness and pressure does come and go but only when I am stressed or very anxious, never had a ct or mri but I guess nothing is wrong because if it was anything serious it would have been progressive.

Take care!
Jane
