I never realized that so many people are suffering with the same type of symptoms that I have had for the past 2 years!!!
As I read through the posts here, I can relate to almost every single one of them. It seems that at sometime or another I have had almost all of these symptoms!
Unlike most of you, I live in the USA and I'm not sure if the medical profession here just sucks, or they just don't care. During this two year ordeal, I have had all kinds of tests, all normal, but have never received a diagnosis of any kind of anxiety. I am taking meds, but that is because I figured it out myself, reading about anxiety, and asked the Dr. for them.
What is the best way for me to proceed? I have never been to any kind of counselling, psychiatrist, etc. Does the anxiety diagnoses come from your gp, or someone else. I have been to 10 different dr's in the past 2 years, and none of them has even mentioned anxiety! Can the US be that far behind.....Don't answer that, I know that we are (I lived in Germany for 3 years). What should I do---I don't have the symptoms on a daily basis anymore, but they still come and go--not as severe as in the beginning, but they are still around--right now it is Head Zaps and headaches that seem to be plaguing me---I did call my dr. about them and she said that they are probably nothing to worry about as I don't get blurry vision or nausea or any kind of lasting effect, they also only last for a couple of seconds, and I have read a lot of posts here about people that experienced the same thing.
Why can't anyone in this country listen to me---I am a very healthy, 32 year old. I have never had any health problems, and neither has anyone in my family! What should I do?
