For the last 6-7 months I've been having dizziness/lightheadedness and only thing that seems to help is if I take a xanax pill..
Anyways I've had countless of blood exams done , MRI scans of the brain and heart studied. All clear . Anyways last night I had a scary episode where I was sleeping and woke up super dizzy and a pounding heart and now today I have a tingling buzzing feeling in my forehead . Do you guys think it might be anxiety related or seizures. I've never blacked out .

Hello Rickk, I am not a dr but the symptoms you are describing sounds very much anxiety related, especially when the Xanax helps. Use your coping skills to help get this back under control.

Take care.

I hope it's only anxiety , I've been freaking out every day thinking I'm going to get a seizure

Rickk, if it will help make you feel better you can ask your dr to refer you to a neurologist. Depending on the dr the referral may or may not happen. Talk to your dr.
