Question: I don't have headaches but I've had a pulsating sensation randomly in my head and random dizziness. I have had episodes of shortness of breath, panic attacks, severe fear when speaking in front of people - even if i need to speak only my name too - I am a very anxious person but the head pulsing is new and the dizziness is new.
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety and panic disorder.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After reading the medical details provided by you I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety and panic disorder rather than anything else. Head pulsations and dizziness are just suggestive of increasing stress and anxiety.
I would like to know
1. do you have high blood pressure or not ?
2. Do you smoke?
Considering your problem I would like to suggest you to personally consult a psychologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan. Also you might be needing sessions of counselling and behavioural therapy in other to boost your confidence levels and help counter your stress.
Also if you can start learning and practicing Yoga and Meditation as it will help you combat your stress and anxiety.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
Kind regards
