| Can anyone help me? For the last month and a half I have had terrible pressure in my head as well as floaters of all kinds. These floaters do not go away for any period of time. I am having difficulty concentrating at work. I have had this before...I am currently taking risperdal and celexa as this appeared to be a case of depression and anxiety. I have increased my dosage of risperdal but this has not helped. Does anyone have anymore suggestions of what I can do. My doctor doesn't have any answers. All blood work has come back good. He thinks it could be sinuses but I just don't know. This is becoming bothersome to the point that I no longer like to go out or even go to work. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks. |

Hey, I know what you are going through. Had this for 3 weeks. Started off as chronic fatigue, feverish, hot flashes, and lightheadedness and then floaters, headaches, disturbed sleeping patterns. Waking up in the middle of the night feeling tense and scared and would shake like it was -50.
I've always had floaters but now I am more aware of them, they are annoying. Also I have headaches that I get relief from for what would seem like minutes a day. I felt fatigued and lightneaded and dizzy too. My doctor gave me a series of examinations and a blood test and believed it to be anxiety over a head injury. Could also be post concussion syndrom. I've been to hospital twice out of fear and have seen four doctors who all agree it's anxiety but I would like further examinations, although I have my strength back I want all the symptoms to go away . . . I can never find the boards I post on, so when I tell people I'll respond in a few days I lose the board and don't but I'll save this to favourites and let you know what I find out.
I'm making an appointment for Monday/Tuesday with my doctor.
Take care. |

| More anxiety pills . . . pills to help me sleep and a referal to a neurologist (after what was like a substantial debate), which could take, who knows how long? . . . I want a CAT scan ASAP though. For peace of mind. |
