Anxiety, weak, dizzy, strange sensation in my head

[zerocookie]

Hiya,

For the last two weeks I have felt dizzy and unable to concentrate, I put this down to anxiety but on Thursday it got to such a stage I went home from work at 11.00am and didn't go in Friday. I feel like I'm in a dream world and I have a weird sensation in my head, not really a headache, more like pressure.

I just want to know that this is normal, I started taking diazepam yesterday which has helped me not go off on a worrying train of thought but the dizzyness and weakness has stayed. Its been non stop since Thursday.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi, that's exactly what I have been suffering for the last few weeks, it is a symptom of stress and/or anxiety and is probably related to tension headaches. You may notice the sensation is around your temples or forehead.

Hey thanks for the reply. My dizziness has gone, I have been taking 4-6mg of Diazepam since Friday and seems to help level me out. The weird sensation in my head is still there unfortunately, it comes and goes, seems to be more noticeable at night, luckily I'm able to settle myself down enough to sleep so I'm getting plenty of that.

Fingers crossed we'll be back to normal soon :)

I get this exact same feeling and I hate it. I used to work as a lifeguard and I would always have to come off poolside because I would feel dizzy and get really shaky. Just had it again a little while ago and nearly fell to the floor. My left eye felt like it had 'fell' and my whole body started shaking like mad
