Did I Just Hand Another Anxiety Attack? Posted: 03-31-06 12:56pm
A couple of days ago, I was walking to the
kitchen talking on the phone when all of
sudden I get extremely lightheaded and
dizzy. I mean it was instant and got on
the floor and lend back agianst the wall
thinking I was going to black out. I
never did black out, the room wasnt
spinning just the feeling in my head of
being light headed and dizzy. It only
lasted for about 15 seconds, but I have
been kind of dizzy since. I went to the
er the next day and got a full head ct and
they said everything was fine and gave me
a pill for my dizzyness which made me feel
wierd.
Anybody else been through this?

Typical anxiety story there my friend...
It may very well have been a panic attack
as this is also how my anxiety started.
Mine got so bad that I had to stop the bus
I was travelling on and get straight off
and walk back home. I was so scared of
fainting or blacking out, as you were but
I also did not. I went to the er later
that day and was told that it could have
been a viral infection. I then began to
have severe headaches so I had a ct and
mri scan to rule out anything serious...
Nothing was found in any of the tests and
I have now been formerly diagnosed with
generalized anxiety disorder.
I hope this reassures you, best regards,
james

I am here is you need to talk to someone
about this. I have very serious attacks
and I can help you determine if that's
what it is.
