DIZZINESS

[hazal123]

Hey everyone. I am an 18 year old female. I have been dizzy kinda like lightheaded off balance feeling for 4 months. It was 24/7 and I was freaking out all that time thinking I had a brain tumor or something. I got my mri results yesterday which turned out that nothing is wrong with my brain. I had blood tests for hormonal imbalances which came back normal. My b12 and other vitamins except vitamin d were all normal. i have even been tested for leukemia which wasnt the case thank god. I had my prolactin hormone a little high. apparently its 31 when its supposed to be 20. the doctor said i have to go back in 3 months and get blood drawn again and see the pattern and get medicine if i have to(if it goes any higher) i had an eng test for my ears and thats normal also. however im still dizzy. i am thinking it may be due to my vitamin d deficiency and im taking supplements right now. i hope it will go away/ but does anyone know what else might be the cause which doctors should i see from now on? could it be anxiety also thank you guys so much already for your answers! please help me

By the way, I have been to the ER several times for my light headed dizziness - had lots of studies done and they were all negative.  I was finally told it was anxiety causing it and I was very surprised.  I never imagined anxiety could cause such strong physical symptoms.  It is still hard for me to believe that my anxiety can cause light headedness, it always makes me more nervous. So I have to keep reminding myself and try to stay calm and do deep breathing exercises.  I hope all turns out well for you and please know if you are suffering from anxiety, you are not alone.

One of the main symptoms of my anxiety is dizziness and light headedness. I really hate it and it always stresses me out more. Anxiety can cause so many real physical symptoms and dizziness can be one of them, has been for me.  I hope you feel better soon - please keep us posted.
