HELP - Dizzy/Drunk/Weird Feeling with Anxiety

Hi Guys,

I’ve been suffering from this weird feeling I can’t explain in my head. I almost feel like I’m drunk or woozy. Sometimes it feels like I’m watching the TV but not really looking at it properly? It’s so strange I don’t know how to explain this. My GP says it’s my anxiety but I’m so scared I have a tumor or something wrong with my brain.

Some background: I recently gave birth in April and hubby was home with me for the first month. I noticed this feeling started happening when he went back to work. He does night shift so naturally I stress out more alone at night with a baby.

Two weeks ago I had a panic attack with new symptoms which I didn’t realize until a week later (tingling starting from my head working it’s way down to my legs which turned into a burning sensation and also a prickling tongue) this made me think I was having a stroke so I went to emergency and they checked over me including my iron but didn’t find anything. They suggested a CT with contrast dye in the rare instance that I’d have a clot on the brain from child birth. This scared me so much I refused the test. Plus the dr said the chances of this being the case is minuscule but now that’s in the back of my mind.

I also suffer PTSD from witnessing a friend having a seizure which later turned out to be a brain aneurysm (3 years ago) and since then have constant fears it will happen to me or that I’m having a stroke.

Previously I used to have heart palpitations etc but since loosing near 40kgs since Jan 2018 my anxiety settled. I only had 2 panic attacks while pregnant but now it’s come back in full force with new symptoms! I can’t deal with this dizzy weird feeing. Sometime I also feel like my eyes are lagging if that makes sense? Like the focus is out? I don’t know how to explain it, sorry. Sometimes I have moments of clarity especially when I try and calm myself but I just don’t know what to do.

Please tell me there’s someone else out there feeling this? I have sever health anxiety and don’t know how to help it. Currently restarted medications for when I’m on my own and panicking.

Sorry for the long post. Lots more to this but running out of room. Tell me I’m not alone!

OMG it is like I have written your post - this is my all over - I have felt like this for 20years plus Im now 47

I totally understand you and its horrible and wouldn't wish on anyone

Ive have every test and all related to anxiety which is hard to believe but I must trust the doctors and I think if anything more sinister I would be of known by now

If I could lose the fear of dizziness and unbalanced my life would be perfect and I could enjoy everything life has to offer but unfortunaly the fear stops me from doing this as all I think about 24/7 are these symptoms

My husband has that same drunk feeling. It’s like constantly dealing with someone who has had 29 beers. His eyes are glassy, slurs words and can’t walk!
