Okay so I'm a 15 year old girl for the past couple of months I have been feeling slightly dizzy when I would go walking downtown or places like that. I could tell that I was feeling more and more anxious as the weeks passed. A couple weeks ago I was on the bus ride home and all of a sudden i felt like i couldn't swallow and that my throat was closing up. It literally felt like there was some sort of golf ball or large pill stuck in the bottom of my throat. This feeling didn't let up and I went to an urgent care center. When I got there the doctor thought I had some sort of allergy problem and told me I had some nasal drainage and gave me flonase and allegra D. I took the flonase and that helped temporarily but when I took the allegra that only made my symptoms worse and made my chest hurt (a side effect). I was googling symptoms and stumbled upon Globus Hystericus and it seems like it could have been it. That feeling in my throat has passed however. Lately I have been feeling extremely dizzy and my right hand will sometimes go tingly and slightly numb. This dizzyness is extremely hard to explain. It's sort of like how your eyes are after you stare at a computer screen too long along with the feeling you get when you first step off a treadmill after walking two miles. I went to my normal family doctor and she thought I could have hyperthyroidism. I had a blood test and it came back normal and I wasn't anemic or anything. She referred me to an allergen (I'm still not sure why doctors insist the cause of this is allergies) and there I was tested for Asthma of which they couldn't confirm I had, they thought I could have a certain type of asthma where the signs of normal asthma aren't there but you'll get shortness of breath and dizzyness when exerting yourself. They're suggesting I go in for a chest x-ray and a nasal x-ray which I will have done on Monday. I've also never had nausea with these symptoms and I will usually have a dull to moderate headache. I also have a history of optical migraines.
I am just so completely tired of this dizzy feeling, I've had four hour long panic attacks over it thinking I was going to pass out and die. I also think I've convinced myself I have a brain tumor or cancer. So I'm wondering could all of these symptoms be from just anxiety? It really seems like it's coming from something much more serious.
Did you ever get help for this? I have the same dizziness symptoms and you describe it so well I'm just going to read this to my doctor! Hope you are feeling better. Please let me know if you received any other diagnosis than anxiety. Pretty sure that's all I'm going to hear.
