I'm so glad I found a community of people that have similar challenges. I'd like to explain my symptoms to you all with the hopes that I'm not mistaken.
A few months ago I was panic striken and overwhelmed with worry about some unrelated health problems (I thought I might have colon cancer, but since then the tests came back great). Regardless, during all of this drama and worry, one night I drank about a six pack and went to bed (more than I normally drink). The next day I felt that wierd semi dizzy spaciness that you may get the morning after drinking too much but it NEVER went away. After a few days I went to the doctor and she sent me off for some blood tests and they all came back OK and said it sounds like GAD.
I have had some other symptoms that relate to GAD, like worry, shortness of breath, occassional pounding heart but nothing as drastic as some of you describe and really no other symptoms I can think of.
It has been over 3 months of feeling this semi dizzy, semi spaced out wierdness 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I'm scared that since I don't have too many other stress related symptoms that it might not be anxiety.
I did see a neurologist and he had me do a bunch of coordination type of tests and said that the only reason he would order an MRI is to rest mind and that he agreed it was 'likely anxiety related'.
Please let me know any of your thoughts on this, sometimes its really bad, but its always there and I feel like I'm stuck like this forever.
