This drives me nuts

Hi ameyers6! Yes, you should get yourself checked and make sure there’s nothing wrong with you. If your tests are all negative, then what you are experiencing might be anxiety attacks. The best way to deal with these attacks is find out what REALLY triggers them. It could just be the thought of them coming which leads to fear which leads to a rush of adrenaline that makes your symptoms worse, and before you know it, you’re caught in this cycle of fear/adrenaline rush/more fear/more rush. So you have to break this cycle as soon your symptoms first appear. Fighting or resisting them will only makes them worse. So try not to resist of fight. Accept them as just passing symptoms, and let them flow right through you. You know they won’t last, so don’t fear them. Relax all your muscles and just let those symptoms do to you whatever they want. They’re just trying to scare you, but this time it won’t work. Talk to them: “Go head, I’m not afraid of you anymore.” And stop worrying about it. Reprogramming your brain will take time, but you’ll get over it. I know, I did get over it.

i've had these before! it feels almost like my brain is swimming for minute and then i get like a vertigo feeling.. only a couple seconds long but it always freaks me out a little bit. my doctor explained to me that it was just a reaction to anxiety so i just breathe and let it pass and move on with my day. definitely sounds like yours is a reaction to anxiety too, so i wouldn't let it get to you, especially if all your tests came back fine! :)
