Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
1) You should first consult with physician/ neurologist and also go for CT/ MRI brain to rule out any brain pathology and neuropathy.
2) If all these investigations and examination are normal then your symptoms may be neurotic in origin.
3) Most of your symptoms are suggestive of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) as an individual no body remembers to take breathe. GAD is a neurotic disorder in which patient may have multiple somatic symptoms.
4) Are you suffering from any stress? Neurotransmitter imbalance in brain may cause multiple somatic complaints with dizzy feeling.
5) You should consult with psychiatrist and should take SSRIs group medicine on written prescription.
Get well soon.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
