I'm sorry to go anon but I don't want my RL hitched friends to know what I'm going through.

For the past couple of weeks I've been getting headaches on and off and sharp pains at the back of my head. For the past few days I've been feeling dizzy, fine when I'm just sat or stood but when I move my eyes I feel dizzy. My head feels like I've got a a hangover, it feels really 'full' And I feel so tired, I could just go to sleep any time anywhere. I'm really worrying that there is something life threatning wrong with me (brain tumour). I feel sick writing it. It's taking over my life and is all I think about. Things got so bad last night that my H took me to an urgent care centre as I was really freaking out and couldn't stop sobbing and shaking and just couldn't control myself. The doctor gave me some sleeping pills and said that when I go to my own GP on Monday (I made the appointment last week) to mention how I'm feeling to him and that he may give me a coure of anti depressents. I'd mentioed to the Doctor that I'd suffered depression in the past but I don't feel depressed, just really anxious and I can't seem to rationalise anything. My head just feels really strange and I can't bear it. My back is also aching and all across my shoulders too. Has anyone had similar? Or can anyone chat to me to calm me down? I really think there is something badly wrong with me.

I took 2 paracetemol a couple of hours ago and they've made no difference. Surely if it was just a headache then the tablets would have taken the pain away?

I went for an eye test today and all is fine.

I really hope you are not worrying too much, its sounds like you are having a really hard time ?

The way you describe it it sounds a lot like sinusitus, those types of pain are quite common as is the foggness. You can get sinisitus without having a cold

I hope it goes ok with your GP. Make sure you explain how worried you have been and dont let him fob you off but I really believe its probably nothng to worry about.

Take care lovie xxxxx

Could it be you are hyperventilating? I get myself in such a panic about things, and I am fine when I wake up, but after a wee while of being up my breathing starts getting a bit erratic as I am worrying about thing. Even subconsciously I do it.

MrS went to stress meeting thing they do locally, and they had a big section on it, with all the symptoms. Dizziness, aches and pains, headaches etc. And the more you panic about them, the more it happens. I have also had panic attacks in the past too.

Do you get tingly hands/mouth area?

I also have a wheat intolerance, and get similar dizziness when I eat wheat.

I would see your doctor about it, but please try and not think the worst. Having a young baby is so stressful, it changes your outlook of things, you dont sleep as much as you did, and everything seems to be getting on top of you.

If you feel you are not breathing as you should try breathing into a paper bag. I have had pains in the back of my neck during a panic attack, right up the back of my skull, and one time had my hand go into a spasm, but it was just my body reacting to the attack.

? you sound exhausted by it all. x
