Symptoms = nausea, dizziness, and pressure in head Posted: 04-16-07 19:44pm
For about 5 days now, I have been feeling
kind of wierd. I have had a pretty
constant feeling of nausea, also kind of
dizzy or light headed. I am also feeling a
constant pressure as if someone is pushing
in on both sides of my head. These
feelings seem to get worse in the late
afternoon and at night, I seem to feel ok
in the morning. Any idea of what might
cause these symptoms ? Thank for any
advice you may have.

Given your previous conditions (panic
attacks)& the symptoms you report
(pressure in the head, nausea, dizziness
and weird feeling in the afternoons and
nights), you could be experiencing an
anxiety disorder. But before diagnosing
anxiety as the cause for these symptoms,
you can request some further medical
examinations such as measuring blood
pressure and standard blood analyses. You
may consult your primary health provider
in order to request the baseline exams and
for further help.
