Hi HL,

If you have ruled out all possible physical reasons for this such as migraine, allergies, sleep apnea, neck alignment issues, or a medication strart up/change ect...

...then I can suggest using coping skills such as breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation and meditation just before going to bed, and also upon waking, before you get up.

Any other progress on the anxiety management? Were you able to find someone to talk to, or start the online therapy/self help?

Hi HL,

Anxiety, migraines and neck tension could really be causing these symptoms! I know that it is hard to believe/accept, but it is not uncommon.

A blood glucose meter can be purchased at a pharmacy...but the unit itself and the strips are not inexpensive...so I would recommend just getting tested at your regular doctor's appointments...this will suffice to rule out hyper or hypoglycemia issues.

We have online therapy in our Resources. Did you find it...or do you need more suggestions? Let me know.:)

Things will get better with progress in your anxiety management...hang in there and keep up hope!

Hi S.C I can't found it is it therapy with psyhologist or you know sites in the internet where it will be for free? And about my symptoms for me its hard to believe that is anxiety..because I'am not so anxious..I' feel even calm but still feeling like ground is moving all the time...I mean people with strong anxiety had fast heart beat,shaking hands..I don't have it. I just feel and wake up without mood every day..and of course I think all the time about my bapance symptoms,but because I feel it and its annoying..But iam not verry anxious so I doubt that it is the cause..I'am really confused I think I had HA. For me it will be much better that it will be anxiety or stress..but not my cerebellum.but if the symptoms here almost all the time even when Iam not anxiety for long time I'll start to loose hope to get rid off it..It's really sad..

Anxiety can be felt and manifested in so many individual ways...I really never FELT anxious...but my symptoms and panic attacks told me otherwise!

Since it seems that your concerns seem centered on your health, I think that for now, going through these self-help for health anxiety will be the best place for you to start.

These sites are great.  Two of them are short and easy to get through.  The Super Scanner explains how anxiety and symptoms exacerbate eachother, and how we end up in a stated of increased symptoms and worry over them.

One of the links is a longer, more intensive program, that will take time to get through all the modules...but it is worth it!  Put your effort into it, and I really think it will help!

Thank you S.C for such a good links now I'am reading them it really a lot of info there. And wow I did not imagine that you also don't feel anxious so much and still have symptoms. Can you tell me what is your daily symptoms? And how often you get pannic atacks?my panic attacks last just a few seconds or litlle longer..so I'am not sure is it panic attacks or what..but I felt like I'am going crazy and I need get out from there. But the thing that almost all the time I feel not anxious and still have theese balance symptoms going me crazy..

Hi

Sorry to hear you have been having these symptoms.

I have health anxiety so know how frustrating it can be but the good news is talking therapy really helps with this such as CBT. Have a look at www.moodgym.com which is a free online CBT programme that you can work through at your own pace.

Keep us posted.

Hello Larry. I donlt feel that is something Is very bad. I just thinking that it's my cerebellum and it will be the rest of my life. But Larry can you please discribe your balance issue symptoms. How often you feel it ? Are you feel,that ground is moving or like you in elevator? Or you feel it just for a few seconds? Because I feel it almost all the time when I walking..
Posted 4/24/2015 3:31 PM (GMT 0)
Hardlife, anxiety can surely make feel this way. You don't have to be very aanxious, sometimes I don't have physical symptoms but mind is full of worries then it makes me feel very weird, it's just hard to describe. Try some of the things SC mentioned, it helps calm the mind and body
Posted 4/24/2015 4:43 PM (GMT 0)
HL,

I no longer have full blown attacks...and only occasionally have symptoms...

...and I never have had a conscious feeling of being stressed, until I experienced a physical symptom...then that sparks the worry in terms of something being wrong with my health/body.

Dizzyness is a big one for me. I feel off balance or 'tilted' if that makes sense. If I move my head too fast in any direction, everything is out of whack temporarily!

I really think that loss of control is a big issue for a lot of us. The physical (and mental) symptoms make us feel as if we could lose our hold on feeling 'normal'...and that creates more anxiety of course.

Learning anxiety management skills therefore is a way to take back some feeling of empowerment...so keep working on those self help links...they work! :)

Dear Hardlife, i have had a million of these attacks but as i sit here and think, i believe i was always moving
when they hit, and even if i was sitting it would be from a head movment. You will get stronger and it will
get weaker, Peace.

Thank you guys, those selph links really helps to calm down mind. But when I'll go to work,and I'am working my mind is full of bad things again..that it's my brain problem from drugs and that I'll never will be happy again. But guys is your balance off feeling constant or just for moment and for how long you have it? Mine is almost constant and it's for 2years..it's so annoying. And is this is anxiety when all the time I think about my problems? But I'am not so worry I'am just thinking all the time about that. Howewer I keep working on this selph help links.

H.L.

I would not say that my dizziness was constant 24/7...

...but it is definitely the most persistant and common of my symptoms!

Glad to hear you are doing the self-help! It takes some time and practice, so keep up the good work!

Thank you for support S.C
It is strange that my balance off problems when it start it will be 24/7 at least a few months,then stop and come again for long time with non stop,thats why I was sure that it's cerebellum. Because when it's constant you really start think that something is wrong.
