Hi guys I'm the 20 yr old with the huge leukemia fear (AML) since last may. I mostly sit in the house and play video games. I have no life. Just living in fear. Have a Dr appointment next month on the 6th for a follow up to see how my anxiety meds are treating me.(.5 xanax). Well when I leave the house and am walking around and sometimes at home (but I mostly sit at home) I feel like km going to fall over or faint or vertigo dizzy type feeling while standing. I don't feel tired or fatigue I can function properly just worries me a lot... Funny thing... When i take my meds it gets better but I'm still concerned about this symptom

Classic anxiety symptom! I get it too! Dizzy off balance sometimes it feels like I'm trying to walk on the deck of a ship lol. I've had it for years, comes and goes, definitely tied to anxiety. Also can be from playing too much video games....yep it's true. Staring at a screen with glare and lots of rapid movements running acrossed it....being tensed up and into your game, possible holding your breath and breathing unnaturally. If anything you need a nice walk out in the fresh air!!! Please try to power through it and get out there and enjoy life!!!

Hi,

Here is a link for some great anxiety/physical symptoms management techniques. The breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises in particular will help, as improper breathing and tension (as BBW mentioned) contribute to these issues.

Also, not sure if you saw my reply to your last thread, as you didn't respond...so here is that link as well.

Best wishes on your appointment. I hope you get the answers you need!

Hi

Yes your symptoms could be down to anxiety have a look at the link SC has gave you for some useful tips to self management.

When you see your doctor I would ask for a referral to a therapist to do some talking therapy such as CBT as I feel you will find this useful.

Best wishes keep us posted.

Thanks guys I'm also afraid that if my Dr takes blood at my follow up it'll come back that I have leukemia, I just wish there was a way to renew your mind like erase it of what we don't want. Fear is controlling me and I'm allowing it to...
