Suffering From Head Pain, Dizziness, Tiredness, Weakness And Nauseous. On Medication. Any Suggestion?
Question: Hi,
For about a year now i have been suffering very strange and scary symptoms. I have been back and forward to my GP and they keep assuring me its all anxiety, i have had blood taken and been seen by 3 or 4 doctors.
- head pains al over head, short sharp shooting
- Dizziness everyday all the time (like a sort of unsteady feeling)
- cant concentrate
- Always tired
- Eyes - seeing strange black fuzzy lines/dots whenever i get this
- Feel very weak and no energy
- feel nauseous now and then
I have had different medication, i have attended classes to try help me but nothing is working. It has went away for a few days here and there but this is now persistent and starting to rule my life.
I never feel 100% each day every day i wake up feeling like this and it lasts until i go to sleep.

Hi XXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms are more generalised and do not point to a specific neurological diagnosis. These are either related to anxiety or depression. After a check up with your physician and to rule out any physical illness, a consultation with psychiatrist can be of help. In the meanwhile, getting yourself busy with stuff you enjoy doing, extra-curricular activities, exercise, and meditation whichever suits you.
Let me know if I can address any other concerns.

I dont feel anxious about anything thats whats is causing me concern? I feel like i could fall down at any moment. It last weeks sometimes months, i have tried going to group therapy classes, i have tried medication and i have tried re assuring myself but nothing seems to work?

Is it worth getting refered to hospital again or is there no point?

With the list of symptoms i have described to you are you able to tell that this is 100% nothing serious? I feel i need to put my mind at rest first off all to help?
Surely anxiety cant cause all these strange and scary symptoms?

Hi and thank again,
I agree with concern you have about your illness. However, its seriousness can be assessed after being evaluated by a doctor as I have suggested in last communication by me. Nevertheless I do not find the symptoms to be relating to a serious neurological condition. So do not be worried.
Hope you recover soon. I will be available to help you further if you have any other concerns.
