In reply to Can anxiety disorders make your head feel funny?, posted by dmel75 on July 23, 2001, at 14:23:23
> I am pretty sure I have some type of anxiety disorder, I go for therapy this week. I had a migraine headache a few weeks back and I started being anxious about it thinking it could be something else. I went to the Doc, they checked me out, bloodwork was perfect, etc. I worried like crazy it could be something like a tumor and I think this worry has aggravated my anxiety problems now so that I'm constantly feeling fuzzy headed. I wake up everyday now worrying that my head is going to feel funny again and when it does I start to panic again. Can generalized anxiety disorder make your head feel somewhat dizzy? I'm in no pain, it's just not feeling right, sorta like a headache with no pain.
Yes yes yes. I've had anxiety disorder for 13 years now and for the last year or so it's manifested itself in extreme dizziness and fuzziness. I can't think straight, can't speak properly, that sort of thing. The dizziness seems to come from my eyes when i'm feeling it and I've had it checked a hundred times and it's just the anxiety. It's an adrenaline thing. Causes all sorts of neuro and physical reactions. Try writing down your anxiety experinces, try to be detailed, keep a record of the feelings==dizzy, fuzzy, foggy, etc. Might help you to connect the anxiety to something specific. Have you had vitamin or mineral deficiency tests.....hair sample type tests? YOu're anxiety could be caused by something simple like that.
Keep me updated though
It's nice to know someone else who has this happen. I felt kinda alone in it. Most have palpitations, hyperventilation, but I get the dizziness and fogginess mostly.
thanks for sharing and again, keep in touch
