I have been watching the boards the last couple of weeks waiting to see if anyone had had the same symptoms as me. I am scared to death of my symptoms, and I don't know what to do next. Can anyone shed some light on my symptoms, and are they normal for anxiety?

I have always had anxiety problems growing up, just the occasional panic attack or irregular heart beat, but what I am experienceing now as been horrible. I am 22 years old and very happily married. It all started back in January. I started getting these weird lightheaded-dizzy spells, and I would feel like I was in a dream, nothing seemed normal. I then started to get weird vision floaters people call them. I also feel very nervous, as if I can't sit still. I don't know what is going on. I rarely get panic attacks, but I just feel as if I am losing it, cause I feel like I can't function correctly. I also have been losing interest in all the things that I love. I am so scared that I am going to just fall over and die the way I feel somedays. I have already had a CT-Scan, MRI, and lots of blood work and other tests. I am not sure what the next step is? Are these normal symptoms, and what should I do. I have been on Serzone (anto-depressant used to treat anxiety) for 3 years, and I take Inderal recently for treatment of Headaches, anxiety, and the adrenalie rushes that i get.
Please Help Me, I hope all of this makes sense. I love my husband and myself, and I just want to be normal again and live my life like I use too. I fel that I am driving my hubby nuts.

Hi dizzygirl
sounds like depersonalisation or derealisation, look them up on the net, they are caused by stress and anxiety

if the inderal reduces your BP too far this can cause dizzyness, but usually only on standing

sounds like the serzone isnt helping much or at all, these antidepressant meds can eventually quit, maybe up the dose or swap to another one

you also need to learn better methods to relax and cope with stress, get more exercise, gentle exercise is very relaxing

get a book on home massage and get husband to massage you for relaxation

vision problems are often caused by anxiety, some floaters are normal
anxiety problems dont kill anyone but unless you know about them, they can scare you

stay with us :rolleyes:
