Dizzy Light headed everyday for over 6 weeks

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here so I apologize if i'm posting this in the wrong place.
I've been feeling really lightheaded and off balance for over 6 weeks now. Originally they told me it was probably a virus, but since it has continued, one doctor says its stress related and the other said i should see a neurologist.
I'm really freaked out that I might have MS and I think about it constantly. My insurance won't kick in till Nov. and I'll need a referral to see a Neurologist, don't know how long that will take.
I've felt mostly light headed but have had other strange sensations too, like i feel like i'm shaking or vibrating inside. At first I only felt this while half asleep at night but now I feel a mild version of this throughout the day. Has anyone else gone through this? Feeling lightheaded, and dizzy all day long for weeks?
I've also had twitches in my face and limbs, normally I wouldn't pay attention to these sensations but it's like I've become hyper aware, and am noticing anything that might be a symptom of MS or some other serious condition. I think about this all day to the point where its debilitating. I can't get any of my schoolwork done.
I forgot to mention i was on lorazepam for about 5 weeks or so only 0.5mg once - twice a day. I feel like my anxiety has gone crazy since stopping. I've read online that it's unlikely to have withdrawal symptoms on such a low dose, but it would explain some of the things i've been feeling.
If anyone else has gone through this please share. And please give me any tips that may help me feel better. I'm so exhausted by all of this. Getting through the day is getting more and more difficult.

Hi AD and welcome.

I too am sorry to read of your anxiety and concerns. Please know that it is common to worry about health issues when dealing with anxiety and panic.

The thoughts and physical symptoms and brought on by this disorder can understandably make it feel as if we are suffering from any number of diseases.

However, if you have been given a clean bill of health from your doctor recently through a check-up, (and get the all clear from any specialist you plan on seeing)
then you can rest assured in regards to your health, and focus on treating the anxiety issue.
If you are seeking to to this without the help of meds (I am assuming since you went off of you Rx?) then there are a number of options.

Therapy, specifically CBT is very effective. You can ask your doctor for a referral to a therapist who can take you through this form of anxiety managment program.

We also have a great Resource section here in our forum. On the main page, 1st post you will find a collection of self-help tools to try. There is even a book section with two books specifically for dealing with health anxiety.

Keep posting here with us as well. We are here to understand and support, so keep posting.:)
