Hi,
I have been dealing with a constant lightheaded feeling for weeks now, it's not exactly dizziness, bit more of an off balance feeling. It has gotten so bad, I an afraid of it the minute I wake up, and I barely leave my room now. Has anyone else ever dealt with this?
Davit, it is actually a little of both, I guess. Cloggy head feeling, with a quick bouts of actual dizziness. Not room spinning, but a sense of lightheadedness. I wake up every morning, the first thing in my head as I head to the kitchen is what if I pass out? Of course, I am groggy but I begin to become anxious which set off the pattern for the rest of my day.
Thank you for your reply :-) I don't believe it's physical only because it seemed to come on full force during a very stressful period a few months back. Also, I have become severely agoraphobic, I don't leave my home and certain rooms seem to bring it on also. If I go to the basement, I usually have to run out because I become lightheaded.
This has been a tough week for me and I have nowhere else to vent because no one understands, I have had panic attacks since Aug.2005 in Feb 2006 my father passed away and shortly after I became agoraphobic and did not leave the house for a year, I got through with the support of my husband, but this year I have relapsed and have been homebound since April. One of my daughters has now told me that she has no respect for me because we can't go out anywhere and it is tough on her, and my husband says that he can't go through this again and is considering a separation, I have an 11 year old daughter that I am afraid how this is going to affect her also. Plus, I have developed a constant fear that I'm dying, if I get a pain in my back, it's cancer, if I cough it's cancer, a headache is automatically an aneurysm (my bio mother had one a few years back) I have had CT scans and X-rays and bloodwork and countless tests but they only relieve me for a day or two and then I'm back to worrying. I am at wits end!
Thank you for the reply Davit, I agree it sounds complicated, but I am willing to try. At this point, I really can't continue the way I'm going. I feel as I'm merely existing and not living.
I wish I could say that I learned anything, but honestly nothing has changed, every day is the same. My husband went out of town to work so my anxiety has been higher. He is my "safe person" Now, he wants to go out for dinner when he comes back in town Friday, but I have not left the house since April and I am afraid he will be upset because I know I won't be able to go. He is tired of me saying no or making excuses not to leave the house.
