Anxiety or inner ear problems?
June 26th, 2010
Here is a brief description what has happened.
2 weeks ago i was sat in my friends car and all of a suddent i felt a massive fuzzy feeling come over my face , i looked up and the world was really surreal and felt like i was on a boat, my heart was pounding and i felt like i was going to faint….my hands and feet went numb, and i thought i was a gonner. my friends called an ambulance who told me it was a probably a panic attack and it should pass within 4 hours and then i will be fine.
The thing is ive never been fine after that. My eyes are constantly spaced out and i have had about four more attacks and a really big one yesterday. I seem to have all the symptoms for an anxiety dissorder but the doctor said its probably more vertigo, blood, heart, and blood pressure all cam back fine, also went to the opticians and got a new perscription but they said my eyes were healthy enough.
The thing is that my kneck aches like mad and my ears feel really full…..but that could just be wax, but i have a feeling that its all this spacey vision that is triggering the panic attacks….anyone else feel the same?
Its so hard because i have all the symptoms of both of the ‘ Could Be Causes’ , i have the full ears, the vertigo feeling, the lightheadness, and alot of fatigue, along with panic attacks, which are the worst thing ive ever experianced.
Anyone got any comments or have been through or know someone who has been through the same experiance. Doctors really dont know whats going on and im trying to find out by myself now, they say it could be vertigo and gave me some prochloperazine (dont really know if its helping or not). some days i convince myself its a panic dissorder but then others when im constantly spacey and dizzy i read an article on inner ear problems andit seems to make more sense to be that.
Any help would be great guys its starting to really effect my life.
p.s also when i go outside the dizziness seems 5 times worse and makes me feel abit sickly…..but i know i dont have agrophobia, i love the outside and hanging out with friends…..

woah buddy , That is defiantly a panic attack i am 17 & when i was 13 years old i had them i was put into the hospital about 5 times i kept telling them “i felt like i was dieing “m i was lightheaded and dizzy everything seemed un real constantly they never went away for about 3 months i suffered untill one day i realized hey , idc how weird i feel obviously nothings wrong with me or i’d prolly be dead by now (mind u i was only 13) and i said i gotta ignore these things && i started doing stuff with my friends it took A LONG time to get used to them but eventually whern i hit high school i actually got them less … im going to be a senior next year now and YES i still get them , theres nothing u can really do but try your best to ignore them , all u gotta think is there is nothing wrong with me these are completely harmless and i gotta move on if not youll let them tak over u . trust me I KNOW i go through it monthly i get them when im really stressed now but i just go to sleep (it helps alot) just to sleep . I know its a weird feeling but your gonna have to deal with it don’t let them take over , be strong … go on with life and when u get them just relax . && also i quit drinking caffiene i have not drunk it since i was 13 caffiene triggers panic attack big time . i think that also helped alot , i always drank diet coke but i just switched to caffiene free , its ok to have it in your food and stuff but not like power drinks or pop . I hope i help u PLEASE dont let these get to you , you will be fine try your best to ignore the symptoms there tryna trick your body BE STRONG and dont let them take over , (( && if u belive in god PRAY every night that might work alot too . )) But mostly just be strong IGNORE THEM dont let them give u medication or tell u that u need certain stuff for them u really dont i pulled myself out of them without anything u just gotta ignore them , yeah they feel weird but u are absouluty FINE .
have a great day ;>
