Dizziness/Chest Tightness

[andrewjdavid2005]

Hi all,

I have been feeling dizzy for around 12 days now but it think it started around the time when i was running out of cipralex pills and i was taking 10mg a day then for 2 days i had to cut down to 5mg, then i went back upto 10mg then back to 5mg for 2 days then back upto 10mg again within the space of just over a week, would that be causing me dizziness so long after i did all this?

Another thing that is getting back is chest tightness, when i get my chest tightness i take my blue inhaler and it calms it down for awhile but then it comes back and it feels so tight inhalers work for awhile, obviously i'm still worried about it being a blood clot because this chest tighthness is affecting my breathing and peak flow, but asthma could be causing it, i've had it for 5 days now, or anxiety could maybe cause it but not sure if anxiety can cause bad chest tightness, i know im worried about a blood clot on the lungs but i've never heard of it to cause chest tightness, i also sometimes feel that i am feeling strangled or something.

Why were you running out of tablets? It is imperative you keep on a steady dose of these SSRI's to avoid symptoms. Order more in plenty of time.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

The dizziness i have all day from the time i get up , would like to know the possible causes of it.

the chest tightness is the most worrying thing for me, i am very worried about this i see this as a bad symptom.

advice please.

dizziness is most likely anxiety - I had it for years every single day.

The chest is anxiety and tight muscles - you need to stretch them out. Swimming will really help with that too.

Did you read all the posts Meg sent you - loads of people get it I am afraid.
