What could all this be?

I need to know if this sounds like anxiety or ?
I have off and on (mostly on right now) symptoms.
Dizziness, foggy headed, lightheaded, depersonalization,
upset stomach, (constant) stuffed up nose, sweating hands and feet,
funny pressure in my head, blurred vision, watery eyes,
my hands will go numb sometimes, feeling like I'm losing control,
shortness of breath when I'm doing small activities (out of shape)
(Constant) tinnitus in my left ear (gets worse with some symptoms),
chills, the list goes on. Right now it feels like I have the flu but I don't
think that is what's going on right now. Help?

Sounds like you could have symptoms of vitamin / mineral deficiency.

I'm recovering from it now. I had the symptoms you describe. I felt sick for years and was told it's just a virus. All testing was normal. I got much worse last Sept. I needed a blood transfusion for anemia and nobody was too concerned about the low Vitamin D. Now it's a struggle trying to recover from everything. I'm better then I was, but I still have symptoms. I've raised my Vitamin D level from 19.2 to 61ng/mL in 11 weeks.

You need daily supplements for recovery. Many things deplete them in your body. You need D3 for the rest of your life. Magnesium is a must to take with D3. It balances the calcium in your body. If you do need iron...take it 2-3 hours before or after the magnesium. They hinder each other's absorption.

Also...make sure to get potassium in you when taking magnesium.

AND lots of water. You have to stay hydrated.

Blood work will check Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, calcium and iron/ferritin.  

I was prescribed iron pills that I take with chewable vitamin C.
I bought the other supplements over the counter and online through Amazon. Vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin K2 & Vitamin B12 sublinguals.

People/doctors don't realize these deficiencies don't just cause fatigue. Also, lab ranges are set too low. Get a printout of your results. Don't just accept your doctor saying you're in normal range.
You can be iron deficient and NOT be anemic.

Vitamin D level needs to be above 50ng/mL. 60-80 is optimal
Vitamin B12 level needs to be above 500. Closer to 800 is better
Ferritin level needs to be above 50

I do sense some sort of stress. However more importantly, Are you getting an optimum quantity of sleep, say at-least 6-8 hours? And Are you on any kind of medication? Any history of allergies, Sinusitis or respiratory conditions?Lastly any history of depression?
