Hey everyone!
I'm new here
Well for the past couple of months (over 3 months now)
I have been suffering with constant lightheadedness!
From the minute I wake up until I go to bed.
I never get a moment of peace. It only gets worse, especially when I go out somewhere.
I always have it, watching tv, sitting down, laying in bed. All the time
I have been to the ER 3 times. I got injected tranquilizers, they only made me feel worse...which makes me rethink the whole anxiety issue? Is it really anxiety, all my doctors tell me so, but in fact, there is still something that tells me it's not.
I've had a MRI, MRI with contrast, CT scan, blood test, and Carotid Ultrasound(because I thought there was narrowing in my arteries)
Everything came out fine except for really high cholesterol, but I don't think high cholesterol causes all of this??
Besides the lightheadedness, I always feel as If I am in a dream. Like nothing is real. This weird spacey feeling.
At night I get these swooshing noises in my left ear that go along with my heartbeat which is called Pulsatile tinnitus, that's what also made me think I had narrowing or blockage in my carotid arteries. Doctors don't seem to pay much attention to that though. So maybe it's not that big of a deal.
But anyway, my main problem is the lightheadedness and derealization...
I was wondering If there was anyone else going through the same situation.
How do you cope ??
Any of you that have recovered from this nightmare?
I am only 18 years old and I can't do anything anymore, for the past 3 months I have not been myself
