Light headed, headache, spacey feeling. Tons of tests done, no result.

I have been recently experiencing the same over the last 12 weeks
- I get light in my feet at 1st in the arches, maybe like a burning sensation along with it
- My shins feel like they are digging into the ground because I feel like I am going to fly off the planet
- I lose concentration if someone is talking to me as I start thinking I'm going to have a panic attack
- Occasionally I do have a light to severe panic attack.
- The world seems tipsy
-Sometimes I get a dropping sensation
-Sometimes I get an electric shock on my brain while laying down at night which is probably something completely different.
-Have had the gamut of tests down, been put on diff anxiety meds, find myself eating colonapin's like candy daily to evade this feeling

I suffer from TMJ, and my sinuses are constantly plugged. The only time they clear up is when I go to a yoga massage session, and they only clear up for about 10 mins.

It is completely frustrating and debilitating to say the least. I am going to try the thyroid thing out as someone stated, and the vertigo test too which I have not done. I can't imagine it being Fybromyalga. I'm only 34, eat extremely healthy, and am in excellent shape, minus this bizarre medical malady.
I am a very sexual person and was wondering if it was even remotely possibly that the amounts of serotonin released daily could be contributing to it.
My sleep is hit or miss everyday too. Sometimes 4 or 5 hrs, sometimes 6. rarely do I get an 8hr session.
Thoughts?

I did cocaine for the first time ever about a month ago, at first i had problems with my heart and i had bad anxiety. Now i realized i never want to see that again, or be near the drug again. but its been 3 weeks and i still feel like i cant concentrate, i feel like i cant think straight, and im having problems focusing. ive been having minor headaches as well, is this normal?

Ohhh i am feeling same and also has gone same two months. I just met my doctor today she asked to me have MRI and basic eye test please guide me what to do and what is this.how you had overcame of this problem

I think we both need to chill out and stop over thinking, we'll be fine

Ive got the same feeling once, and also cold sweat a bit, until i collapse, and hospital discover a dettached valve.Always good to see a cardio..

I have very very similar symptoms. I have been struggling with them for years though. I have had many scans and have been in many many medications over the last 8 years. I wake up and I am usually fine for the 1st couple of hours, but then boom, like something has hit me, I'm light headed, dizzy, feel kind of spacey like I'm not all there. This will last all day. I am stumped as to what it is. Even bought a blood sugar tester to see for myself when I have these "spells". I thought I figured it out with my blood sugar high on an onset once, then checked the next time and nothing, I believe it was just a coincidence that time. I am very eager to find out what you have learned.

I've been feeling all of those mixed it's like a feeling unaware of what's happening around you, and you feel very very strange i can't even explain it but I just had mono in October so I thought it was just because it's at the end of that but now idk. I wake up like this everyday and its been this way for a few months. It's frustrating I just want to feel normal again.

Does anyone have this spacey foggy fatigue feeling with pain behind the eyes but it comes and goes ? In other words I can go weeks even months feeling fine then I wake up one morning and within 10 minutes I know it's going to be one of those days - everything I read seems to be about people who have these symptoms every day - is anyone out there who experiences this randomly ? By the way, I have had every test known to man and nothing

Hey guys, I experienced the same symptoms too for over a week. The same lightheadedness, minor nausea, zoned out feeling, weakness, etc.

I got it right after a very bad sleep where I found out I could barely breathe due to nasal congestion (because I have nasal allergies). I just saw a doctor and he said he's only seen this symptoms from people with chronic SLEEP APNEA.

If you guys have that, go see a sleep and nose/ear/throat specialist to have a check. For Canadians like me, it's totally free. And even for Americans without health insurance, it's something to consider.

I hope this help at least some of you.

I've been feeling this way myself, but my insurance doesn't cover a barrage of tests. I have also recently lost a cap from a root canal and have gotten headaches that follow from the gap in my mouth , up around the sinuses and behind the eye....that sometimes accompany these feelings.... I'm wondering if an infection from my mouth may have traveled within my head that could be causing these symptoms....

Hello- about two years ago I woke up with the same exact feelings you had. I actually thought it was so serious that I was dying! My doctor sent me to tons of different specialists. I had cat scans, MRI ultrasounds... Every blood test you can think of. This was because my pains were mainly in my neck and my head a long with the "foggy feeling". No matter how much rest I got I couldn't ever wake up. I left my job and went on disability. I didn't have any answers up until 3 months ago. My good friend came into town to visit me and we went to breakfast.. I felt fine before breakfast, I had pancakes with eggs and bacon. Right after we finished I was in the fog and told her I had to cancel and get home immediately. She said have you ever considered it's an allergy? I didn't believe an allergy could affect your body the way it had on me. She said just try going gluten free for two weeks. I'm a stubborn person but at that point I was willing to try it. I had ZERO symptoms. It gave me my life back. Please give it a try. I know what it's like to worry and get no answers. I hope I'm able to save someone with this information. Good luck to all of you!

Has anyone in here that has this problem had a back injury ? like threw out your back shortly before they started to feel dizzy and headaches ? I was just wondring ?

I am now seeing a chiropractor for these symptoms and it is too soon to tell whether it will help or not..these posts were quite a few years ago so wondering what is happening currently...

Hello all. Mike here.
After seeing a different chiropractor, i found out i have a slight case of scoliosis in my lower back that was causing my back issues and i still have the foggy spacey feeling every day. I had extensive xrays of my back and neck done which showed no major issues. Im not leaving the neck and back theory out at this point just to keep my bases covered, but i am going to look at other possibilities to see if something works. The chiropractor did have me try a supplement called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). I turned out to be terribly allergic to something in the pill (Probably a sulfa extract in it), but i thought i started to notice a change in how i was feeling before the allergy happened. If anyone wants to give that a try and report back? I might try a different brand after some research.

It also occurred to me after reading more posts that "Spacey feeling" is a broad term for people on how they feel. Everyone that posts here could have different ailments that are causing their spacey symptoms. I know it is hard to describe feeling spacey to someone. After a lot of Google search, i found my spacey description is very close to having Dissociative Disorder...
"Dissociative amnesia (formerly psychogenic amnesia): the temporary loss of recall memory, specifically episodic memory, due to a traumatic or stressful event. It is considered the most common dissociative disorder amongst those documented. This disorder can occur abruptly or gradually and may last minutes to years depending on the severity of the trauma and the patient.
Dissociative fugue (formerly psychogenic fugue) is now subsumed under the Dissociative amnesia category. It is described as reversible amnesia for personal identity, usually involving unplanned travel or wandering, sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity. This state is typically associated with stressful life circumstances and can be short or lengthy.[2]
Depersonalization disorder: periods of detachment from self or surrounding which may be experienced as "unreal" (lacking in control of or "outside of" self) while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality." - Wikipedia

When i try to explain to someone feeling spacey, i often ask them if they feel spacey when taking cold medicine, and tell them this spacey feeling is like being force fed cold medicine all day, every day. My spacey symptoms have steadily gotten worse in the past 6 months to where i feel like i am losing my mind and sanity one piece at a time. The lack of memory doesnt allow me to enjoy remembering the past and always forces me to live in the present. I have started to feel like i am a separate person now from the person i was before the spacey symptoms started.

Someone on the forum suggested that blocked sinuses might be putting pressure on nerves that go to the brain. I am going to try a decongestant and see what it does since there was a couple times over the last 6 months that i did have several days of feeling somewhat better when being on a antibiotic for ear aches. I will update here when i try it out.
Good luck everyone and keep in contact.

I had all those symptoms, and my sinuses were so blocked that my doctor prescribed twice the antibiotic dosage recommend. All the symptoms were gone in a matter of days. Good luck!
