Hi hon.. I have the same issues.. since march i have had the same feelings..I have alot of feelings of lightheadness and dizziness. I wake up that way and it lasts all day.. I also am short of breath. I have been to a couple of drs .. I had 2 ct scans of my head thinking something was wrong..because had headaches too. Also had a heart test which was ok.. When this happens of course i get worried and panicky and the symptoms get worse.. So i am told this is panic attacks and anxiety.. have you been to the drs yet?

sorry to hear u are getting the same as me ..it is not a nice feeling to have to live with ..yes i have been to the docs and they just took my blood pressure and said i was fine although i know that things are not fine ..i feel like i am getting to the stage where i dont really want to go out and dont really want to be left on my own which is not like me at all as i am a very out going person normally just got to the stage now where i dont really know what to do and wish i had a answer to what it is that is wrong so at least i know and then i can take it from there

I went through this I don't know if you felt exactly this way so let me explain I felt like nothing was real like I was living in a dream if that's how it is for you it's something called de realization and it sucks big time Huron what I understand it's the highest state of anxiety where your mind becomes inverted because it can't deal with the outside world your so focused in your head that the world around you seems surreal well I hope I was of some help feel better

i completely understand what you are feeling. I have the same issues as you and even more issues, such as PVC's (which are extra heartbeats), that i feel all the time. I become so panicy that I truely feel like I am having a heart attack. I have been hospitalized twice in 2 weeks for cardiac issues. They say my heart look ok, a few little bumps in the road, but mostly ok. I dont care!! I still feel lousy and it causes more panic than ever before. I take Klonopin for the panics, but I cant take one every minute of the day. I go into I dont care about shit mode, such as cleaning or cooking, because I tell myself I dont have the energy today. I have a great life and a wonderful family and job, but these panic attacks are rediculous to handle at times. so in telling you this--i have good days, great days and some really shitty days-but there is a fix to panic/anxiety just with the help of doctors and you being honest about the symptoms with them. I truely believe you will overcome this, just as I will--together we all can conquer it! if you every want to talk--let me know and I will send you my email address.....be vigilant!!

I used to live in anxiety. I had panic attacks throughout the day - sometimes waking from naps into a panic attack. Now I'm on lots of meds, which have helped, but also talking through stuff has helped. Realizing what traumas in my life have caused the hyper level of anxiety. I suggest you find a good counselor, and, as a friend of mine says "Never, never never give up!" I get mild attacks now, but I've learned to deal with them, and I don't get the "I think I'm going crazy!" thoughts so much anymore. Only in severe emotional upsets do I have to deal with the de-realization. You can get through this!

Oh - one thing that really helped me was realizing that this is a NORMAL response. Whatever is triggering it, you are reacting this way because it's your body's best attempt at self-preservation. You're not going to die and you're not going crazy. As hard as it sounds, things get easier when you can accept the feelings and understand that it will pass.
