WHAT IS DIS? HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Hi! What is happening to me… I was diagnosed with anxiety disorders recently and I suffer this for more than 5 years now.. Also my blood pressure is on the high normal level 5 years ago when my cardiologist diagnosed me hypertensive only last month.. She gave me losartan 50mg … I frequently feel dizzy for 5 years and it its almost everyday, I don’t know why , Ive been to dozen of doctors from ENT, Cardiologist, etc etc.. but still I suffer the same fate and not feeling enough.. last year my anxiety went up that I fear that I might go crazy, depressed etc. etc… CBC, XRay, Cranial MRI, GLUCOSE (FBS), CT Scan, 2Echo (4 times), treadmill test, eye refractions check ups (which I discovered that I had astigmatism and my vision is 100 from left eye and 80 from the right eye). All of them came to normal , except cholesterol which is slightly normal , my doctor did not gave me medicine ONLY DIET.. and uric acid which is slightly elevated, my doctor told me its not that high so she insist only diet… but all of dozens of check up are normal, not to mention the VNG for ears which came up normal according to my doctor.. but the diagnosis said that I have peripheral vestibular loss.. sucks! Today after almost 6 years of suffering theres no improvement.. what else can I do? Today my right arm got pain near the armpit, everytime I feel this pain , I always check my Blood pressure , sometime it is elevated like 130/90.. this right arm pain is consistent from year 2005 to 2011 sometime it comes together with dizziness.. sucks again! I don’t think also if it is eye problem but sometime I convince my self that it is my eyes or ears… because sometimes when I am in front of computer then someone or something is moving I feel unstable and lightheaded, light when im going to cross the street and cars are moving I feel going crazy… today my bp is 120/70 but still I have a right arm pain.. WITH AND WITHOUT MEDICINE I feel dizzy most of the time… I am athletic type, I can run 45mins continuously in slow pace 3 times a week… Can anyone help me to diagnose what it is? Doctors cant!!!! Anyone here who has any idea? Is’t anxiety again ? wat a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi AL, as NB said, the dizzyness could be vertigo which often has no discernable source. It could also be from your vision problems, especially since the eyes are not seeing at the same strength. It could be the anxiety alone. I have this as one of my symptoms.

What does your dr. say? If he/she says that you are healthy, then you probably need to make yourself trust in that. It sounds as if now that your worry over mental health problems has lessened, you are now starting to struggle with health anxiety:(

We tend to think the worst case senario when faced with a symptom. The pain in your arm could simply be a pinched nerve, or referred pain from an old injury. It could be scar tissue, or a trigger point from some past sports related trauma. Try not to think of the worst possible thing that it could be, because the reality is that it's most likely something harmless.

Keep up the exercise, breathing and relaxation techniques. When intrusive or scary thoughts try to bother you, push them out of your mind and get busy with an activity you enjoy. You are going to be fine:)

Take care,

Yes it does. I am having more that my usual share of symptoms this week as well. I am going through some emotional stuff, and today I also felt weak/shaky/sore muscles.

It is hard not to think the worst, but at least we know that since both of us are experiencing such similar symptoms, and we have both been suffering with anxiety...it IS most likely anxiety!

Feel better and be well AL,
S.C.
