Weird Things / Environments Making Me Dizzy - Panic Disorder


Jun 25, 2015

I've suffered from dizziness for nearly two years. My doctor (who recently retired) told me it was due to anxiety, and that it would go away in time. I do have a panic disorder, but with counselling, my attacks are now few and far between. The dizziness, though, has never gone away.

I've noticed in recent months that I get dizzy from the oddest things--walking in dark areas, sitting near someone in a rocking chair, facing a revolving ceiling fan, watching a parade go from side to side on TV. I also wake up dizzy most mornings, and sometimes dread turning over or sitting up in bed because of how it makes me feel. 

My ears have started ringing, and feel "full" with pressure, but my new doctor hasn't found the cause yet. I have had 2-3 incredibly minor vertigo episodes, where the room tilts up and down for only a few seconds and then stops. Sometimes it looks like objects in front of me are moving on their own. I usually feel as though I've just gotten off a fast merry-go-round. The room itself doesn't spin, but my head feels as though I've just gone in circles, most of the time.

It's not so bad I can't function, which makes me wonder if it is really my imagination. I keep telling myself it's stress or lack of sleep causing anxiety, but after researching balance disorders I'm beginning to wonder if that's true. I've been to so many doctors in the past two years--I just wonder if I've got enough symptoms of a real problem to warrant going to a specialist about this. (I'm so grateful for ANY advice offered!)

Panic Attack? Dizzy And Kind Of Disoriented

Last night we very weird towards the end of the night I started getting very dizzy and kind of disoriented which started to scare me a little bit. Then I tired to go to sleep and for some reason I kept waking up really scared, thinking I'm dying, wanting to run to the hospital, everything felt like it was closing in on me, hot and kind of freaking out. I would be extremely dizzy and felt like I couldn't see straight. Still kind of feeling that way now because I didn't get much sleep maybe. My head started hurting and it was all very weird. This morning I'm the same way and when I try to go back to sleep my stomach gets upset and won't let me. I'm also very stuffed up my nose is horrible. I feel like I'm going crazy

Anxiety :: Constant Panic Attack Feeling But No Panic?

I used to suffer from panic attacks but don't really get them no more (only after alcohol)... 3 nights ago I did drink (a lot) and I had the classic panic symptoms but not the actual attack... The reason why I didn't have the actual attack was (I think) I took a friend's anxiety pills (propranolol) I had 1 x 10 mg two days ago and 1x10mg yesterday I havnt took one today because they haven't helped me at all... now I'm just stuck with (what I can describe) just the build up to a panic attack but no panic... I feel I have butterflies constantly in my stomach from worry but I don't know what I am worried about... I feel like this feeling will never go and that there is nothing that can help me has anybody ever experienced this? Also I am aware (now) of the dangers of taking unprescribed drugs I only did this because I felt this was my only option. I only took two pills I should be ok to stop taking the propranolol right?

Tinnitus :: Weird Clicking Noise In Ear

I'm 23 and I've always had tinnitus in both ears but worse in my right. For about the last year I sometimes get this random light clicking noise in my right ear which sometimes happens once, twice or 10 times in very quick succession but then will just stop. It might not happen for a day or too and will suddenly come back again. There seems to be no pattern but happens more at work but might occur once or twice a day. The best way to describe it is a bit like a computer mouse clicking but a lot higher. I have no ear pain, blood or trouble hearing and any other symptoms. What is this? Can I cure it? Should I worry?

Random Weird Ejaculations Without Erection

I am teenage and have been experiencing some awkward situations where I begin to feel odd. I get some butterflies in my stomach, my muscles weaken, and my brain "shuts off" and I can feel as if something might be being released from my penis. I am not too sure of what is being released as i'm a little too worried to know if it's semen or not. prior to these happening, I am not aroused of any sort, I can just be sitting down watching TV and these occur, I have masturbated in the past, but I don't have any routine when I comes to masturbation, since this began I have not masturbated, not knowing if I should or not. When this occurs, I don't have an erection, and if I do it doesn't last for too long. I am worried because this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me, and if it is ejaculation, it is the first time I have ever ejaculated. I don't know what this is because of. Is it just a stage of growth or puberty? Is it anything I need to see a doctor about? I am worried to talk to a doctor or my parents about the situation because it is just a weird topic and I don't feel comfortable talking to them about it.

Weird Sounds In My Ear With Head Pressure And Dizziness

I started these pressure headache on top of the head and my one ear felt like was close also i feel weird sounds in my ear ( not always). The head pressure was soo much that i feel dizzy and felt that i would fall off.

I did CT sinus , MRI cervical , MRI head and all these test came clear so the neurologist told me that it's basically your anxiety as you have panic attack in which i feel pain in my chest , shortness of breath and constant muscle pain.

The most important factor here is that i have IBS for the past 2 years now which is high enough for me.

The doctor has given me Seroxat 12.5 mg ( paroxetine hydrochloride) which i have been take for the past 6 days but this medicine is not helping and in fact when i take it i feel that headache has grown more with shortness of breath and stomach upset and tremor in my hand or shall i say fingers but ve but the doctor is saying that it's not the reaction , its normal thing and you would adjust it in 2 weeks.

Lupus :: Gabapentin - Weird Side Effects

Right now I'm being treated with gabapentin during this process(not diagnosed yet), but I'm having weird side effects. I was told it would make me sleepier, sleep better (although I already slept like a rock for 10-18hrs day), and help with pain.

I can say, it did help with fatigue - too much so. I went from sleeping a minimum of 10 hrs + naps to sleeping 4-5hrs. I wasn't sleepy during the day but my body would crash and get emotionally/physically exhausted, but unable to fall asleep. When Id finally sleep, I think I slept OK but it wasn't as deep as I'm used to.

It did not help with pain at all, in fact my pain has been slowly increasing since starting it.

My rheum's only suggestion was to increase to 800 mg, which worsened the sleep issue more. I started flaring again Jan 1, may be partially due to lack of sleep. But it was like a bus hit me again. Actually, the flare might have started before as I was having hair loss christmas week - scalps getting pretty thin from temples to the nape of my neck.

I am so frustrated by this med, I stopped taking it for a couple days. Now I'm immediately back to being tired a lot and wanting to sleep (and able to sleep) 10+ hours. Is there no middle ground? Would anyone have any suggestions here of what to ask rheumatologist?

Menopause :: Weird, Crazy, Acid Trip Dreams

Let's talk dreams, ladies.  I'm 47, been dealing with peri for about 2 years in a big, rotten way.  About a month ago, I started having dreams.  Weird dreams.  Crazy, acid trip dreams.  From the minute I close my eyes, 'til I wake up in the morning, dreams.  Not bad or scary, but definitely weird and some are creepy.  I am waking up several times a night and wondering what the hell that last one was all about, only to segue right into another.  No new meds, nothing has changed..just all of a sudden with the crazy dreams, all night, every night.  Even if I try to nap during the day...it happens.

Started Taking Citalopram And My Head Feels Weird

I have just been put on citalopram 3 days ago on 20 mg. I'm so tired and have not left my bed in the past 3 days. My head feels weird and i do feel really sick till round the afternoon. I'm thinking of taking the tablet before bed see if that makes any difference as i might sleep through it. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms ? Will this actually work , i know it doesn't work straight off but will i start to feel better in time ?

I have zero energy , i feel constantly down , i hate leaving the house and i have shut myself of from the outside world. I have lost my friends but that was through my friend who went out to ruin my life and turned everyone against me. I really hope these tablets will help me get back to the person i was. Im going to start the gym once im more confident and have controlled my anxiety.

Kidney Stones? Weird Sensation In My Penis Area

About 24 hours ago, I noticed that after I urinated, I would feel a weird sensation in my penis area. I thought I had an infection of some sort, but later through the day, my left kidney started to feel a bit weird.

This prompted me to believe that I might have some sort of kidney stone. I'm not sure what to do, or how to approach this, but figured I should see a urologist? I have thought about going to the ER as well.

The pain isn't unbearable, but I can feel a slight discomfort; something telling me, something is not right. There's no blood in the urine though.

I've been trying to drink lots of water tonight to see how it'll go.

Will it flush out on its own? What should I do?

Nervous System :: Weird Feelings And Negative Thoughts

It's been a rough two months. It started with possibly anxiety and then panic attacks. Fast heart rate, tingling feeling in hands, tight chest and as time goes by. Others symptoms. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid. I been on medication for a month already but still been feeling weird. I have good and bad days. Like yesterday, I was fine for the most part. Felt normal, then the feeling of being nauseous and thought of something is wrong with me came on. Lasted for about 40mins till I got home. This morning same thing, just a weird feeling. Discomfort in the chest area. Nauseous and the feeling something is wrong with me. I had an MRI of the heart, CAT scan of the brain and everything seemed fine. I do have to get an ultrasound for my thyroids and ct scan of the brain again to rule out MS. Other symptoms throughout the day (it varies) shooting pain in my right hand. Headache, dry mouth, chest discomfort, tired, anxious. Please, can someone help? I want to be my normal self again.

GERD (acid Reflux) :: Weird Sensations (skipped Beats) ?

I've had GERD for years now, and the crappy part about it is that it manifests itself in so many different ways/forms. I've been noticing lately (although I have noticed in the past, as well) these weird sensations in my chest. It would seem like skipped beats, but I often get them when I'm experiencing GERD (after problematic meals).

After Stapedectomy, Dizziness, Clicking Noises And Weird Taste On Tounge

I'm 11 days post op now and still very dizzy. How long did yours last if at all? My first few days were terrible. I couldn't move because of the dizziness and nausea. It's better now, but I was hoping I'd be back at work this week, but there's no way, and my employer isn't very happy with me. I have to move painfully slow to get around. I also have tinnitus now, and I didn't have it before the surgery. It started 2 days ago. Just a small ringing. I'm also hearing weird small clicking noises in my ear? Don't know what that's about. No hearing improvement yet either, but I've been reading that it took some of you months so I've decided not to worry about that yet. Also, I have the weird taste on my tongue on my operated side. I know this is normal. How long should I expect it?
