So... I went to school this morning and sat by GCSE exam... I did it! I was so scared but I sat it, with mild anxiety but I kicked anxiety's butt ;)

Sorry to go on about my health issues again but I have this really horrible headache that is focused in certain points at different times, for example, one point on the left then it will move to a certain point on the back then the right and the forehead... I am having really chronic dizziness, this is probably the worst thing about it all! I feel I walk on a boat then I feel I am falling to a side :( It's horrid. Doc says its anxiety, of course... But I am refusing to leave the flat so I am pretty desperate right now. Any advice? Please :(( I am also having tingly feelings in my legs...

Really bad chest pain but kinda used to that.

Is chronic dizziness anxiety?? Please no negative comments as I am pretty terrified right now...

Thank u everyone!! Xo

First of all, congratulations on kicking anxiety's butt, and getting through your exam! Be proud of yourself for doing such a wonderful job, and remind yourself that it did it all by yourself!

No need to apologize about going on about your health. (Have you met us? We all do that, it's pretty much why we're here!)

Your doctor giving you the clear-all and stating these are symptoms of anxiety should help to put your mind at rest as you let other worries go by the wayside. The symptoms of anxiety are so vast,.....and we super sensitive folk can take a little twinge and turn it into a panic attack.

Again,...you have a lot of company in that area because lots of us are like that!

Thanks M! I am quite proud of myself...

Yeah, I was put to rest ay the time but the 'anxiety' part of me is fretting and saying I am going to die of something to do with my brain?!? Completely freaking out and can't relax... I feel I am going to faint!! Nausea!! My period is due soon and my anxiety is often so much worse around this time. But this is so scary.

I feel tired constantly... Ugfh... Sorry for going on. I just am struggling so much....

Thanks!! Xx

Oh man do I hear ya Owned. My period will start soon but it makes me crazier than normal. My panic is always way worse around this time and then I'm so stressed that it usually makes my period late!

Sometimes i am me (HT)...

OBA,

I will add my congrats as well!! Geat job on getting through your exam!! :)

I have dizzyness as a symptom as well, and for me, breathing exercises are key for relief.

When anxious, we tend to shallow breathe/hyperventilate...disrupting the O2/CO2 balance in our blood. This will cause the dizzyness and tingling that you described.

Dedicated 10 minutes, 3 x's a day to slow deep breathing and you should see a difference! (everyday...even on the good ones...this is a lifestyle habit that needs to be constant for best results!)

Peace and progress,

S.C.
