Morning all. So I have an apt with my GP on Monday. I feel like instead of chalking it up to anxiety because he has known me for 16 yrs and we have been dealing with anxiety the whole time, I should get some testing done for my dizziness and headaches... I feel it's right to rule things out and then I will be able to accept it if it is just anxiety. I have never had a brain CT scan or anything of sort but this dizziness is really concerning me/consuming me. I'm not being the mom/wife/friend I'm used to being, its been this way for at least 3-4 months. I can't remember the last time I cooked a meal for my family. Don't get me wrong we eat but all I want to do is sleep and search the web for symptoms and anxiety issues!! Advice please

Mel,

Making a written list of all of your new/increasing symptoms...as well as all of the tools you have employed in your recovery efforts may help him see your need for answers and improved quality of life.

If necessary, asking for a referral to a neuroligist may be the next step you need to take.

Wishing you a constructive appointment!

Hi

I struggle with dizziness and it's usually a sign that my anxiety is running on high so by doing all I can to lower my anxiety helps reduce this symptom.

I have been to the doctor a few times concerning the dizziness and had tests done and everything came back fine so I know it's definitely a symptom of anxiety.

Hi Mel
It must be so frustrating, can you please stop Mr Google..i know its tempting sometimes but you not going to get any better by googling symptons.
As SC suggest get a referal to a neurologist. But I think its just anxiety.
Hope u feel better soon
