Having dizzy/throbbing dizziness tormenting me

[jayke]

Hey you guys! Sorry you're feeling rough still, Mischa. Sounds like your bucket has overflowed - all the little (and big) things get put in and then it's too much. I went for an ENT hearing and balance test because of the dizziness - just like what you described. They did loads of tests - very technical. The result? You know it - all good. Had MRI and waiting for results but I'm sure that's all good. Like SparklingFairy says - anxiety. I'm on Sertraline - you on any meds? Defo helping. Maybe some dramatic life changes needed - I don't know - something to kick start a new way of thinking and being. We'll get past this!

@jayke Hi Jayke! Sorry for late reply. Yeah I’m still waiting to hear about mine, I’ve had a few days now with very little dizziness, but still had the odd spell here and there. I’m yet again got a cold, or virus of some kind, runny nose, dry throat, so trying to rest. That is literally only a month after I had strep throat or whatever it was lol! I think because of all the stress and depression my immune system must be low and I’m picking all these viruses and colds up. I’m drinking plenty of water and eating well, so it’s been a lot I gotta say. Really really good to hear your tests were all good and I’m pretty sure your mri will be too. Keep us updated.

sick of picking up these infections though, it’s very draining and taking a lot out of me physically and mentally.

@jayke Hi! Ah, sorry to hear that, I had it last year and it was rough but you’ll be okay. Do keep us posted, sorry for late reply, but I’ll try update more regularly. Hope you’re doing well!

Hi everyone, I’m just jumping on this thread. I’m experiencing this weird head feeling that you’ve been describing. It’s not quite dizziness,not quite vertigo. I’ve actually got high blood pressure but when I check mine it’s always great. My dizziness is more when I stand and especially in crowds: supermarkets etc. I feel mine is age related though as I’m 54 and going through menopause. I just wondered how you are all doing now? My gp is reviewing my hrt. She’s not given me any other ideas as to what it is. She gave me sertraline but I couldn’t bring myself to take it!

[jayke]

Hey! How are you now? Sorry for the silence. Did you take the Sertraline

@pearly_queen Hi, I am so sorry for not seeing your message earlier. I think it’s mostly anxiety, especially with how you described being in crowds as that can happen to me sometimes too. And sometimes when standing the blood pressure change, can just make you feel a little “woozy” as I call it. If you see this, let us know how you’re doing!

@jayke Hi! I did, I’ve been taking it for about a month now, it honestly helped a great deal for me. At the moment, I’m dealing with some sort of bowel issues, I had gastroenteritis, but not sure if it’s still that is what’s wrong. But yeah, hope you’re doing well?
