These symptoms of dizzyness , blurred vision , feeling anxious , breathing problems, do they come and go or are they constant? It is also good to some assurance , by getting regular tests done, blood tests, ekg, a doctor checkup.

I am in the same boat as you , have been lightheaded constantly for 5 weeks, feels like i am dying, had blood tests ekg done, came back good. But i want more tests , ct scan, mri etc etc i want to make sure my body is 100% or else i cannot relax. What triggered your health anxiety how long have you been like this? Are you anxious all day , or are there times of the day when you are somewhat relaxed or distracted? Is there anything that helps?
