I’m hoping by putting my feeling in writing I can try and relieve some of the anxiety.

For around 5 weeks now I’ve been having what I can describe as vertigo but there’s no spinning. It feels more like my brain is swaying round and round. It started with random little head rushes now and then to full blown head pressure attacks where my head felt like lead weight and it would only be relieved by laying down. About 2 weeks into this I started to have bad tinnitus and blocked ears. I had my ears checked after that but no sign of infection. Then I began to feel tingling in my foot which has spread upwards to my knee but this feeling does ease off now and then. Throughout all of this I haven’t had any headaches or pain in general. I feel constantly jittery and shaky. I’ve been waking up with internal tremors in my back/chest.

I see my gp next Thursday which is the earliest they can see me. I have been beside myself that something is very wrong and my anxiety is through the roof. The very thought of leaving my children and husband is just crippling. Im only 32.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Or can anyone offer absolutely anything that will help me calm down

I am in the same boat but mines been going on ten weeks now !!! What was it in the end ? I’m currently awaiting a ct scan but that’s all they will refer me to for now and it’s so debilitating it’s like I’m on a boat constantly and I’m struggling big time with looking after the kids 😞
