Dizzy for almost a year now.
Hi everyone, after almost a long year of suffering I decided to start some research on this problem I’m dealing with. For the last almost year now I’ve been dealing with dizziness every single day, all day. Some days better some days worse, either way it’s always there. Obviously this causes a lot of anxiety for me especially cause I have health anxiety, I’m always stuck in panick attacks and overthinking. To give you more info, it’s not a spinning dizziness, it’s like a lightheadedness, rocky, on boat sort of feeling, it can make me feel nauseous. It’s weird cause the dizziness almost feels like it changes areas. Like most the time it feels like the back of my head feels dizzy if that makes sense. Then I’ll feel lightheaded at the top of my head. It’s really weird. Also for last couple years I have had problems with my neck, I have sore neck and tight neck muscles. I have read a few posts which people have said it’s from that. But I just want to know, for people which did resolve the dizziness from fixing they’re neck, was the dizziness daily, non stop like mine? Or only when moving your neck etc. and can anyone relate to the dizzy feeling in certain spots of head, like mentioned I feel dizzy in the back of my head.
Not to make this a long story but if anyone is interested on how this started I will do an explanation. I was in Europe for a holiday, was doing a road trip around the balkans. I was arriving to my second destination, it was Greece, after about 6 hours of driving, I get out of the car at a petrol station and I weirdly start to feel super light headed, and i start panicking because I’m in a country where idk anyone, idk the language, what am I gonna do if I feel unwell. And I get to my hotel laid down with a bucket next to my bed incase I was going to vomit (I didn’t). And I thought maybe when I wake up it’ll pass. The next morning same thing. Basically I had no option but to go ahead with my road trip, as I planned and paid for everything already, yes I didn’t feel well, and I didn’t want to go ahead but I forced my self into it. And I went on with this holiday dizzy every single day. And from then I have never felt the “normal”. I have sort of taught my self to live with it, but I do get days which are bad and they make me anxious and panick because the dizziness hits harder than usual and it makes me panick, then I feel like it resets all my progress.
If anyone can help or relate that would be great. Thank you. I am located in Australia if maybe there is recommendations.
