Hi all!
So, I hit the back of my head fairly hard back in November. I have had about 4 concussions prior to this hit (soccer player) so after the hit, I diagnosed myself with a concussion. The only thing different from all my other concussions is that this most recent hit knocked my balance completely off. I couldn’t walk anywhere without feeling like the ground below me was wobbling, almost as if I was walking on moving tiles. I couldn’t walk anywhere without having to hold onto something because I thought I was going to fall over or faint.
I also have horrible anxiety. I’ve had it for about 3 years now. I had a panic attack and I never have felt the same since.
Anyway, I believe hitting my head & becoming unbalanced has increased my anxiety and now I have a social anxiety from this. I have NEVER had any balance issues or social anxiety. I would just have the occasional panic attack or wake up panicked, but nothing was ever this severe.
Fast forward to today, I still struggle with being unbalanced. My doctor has said that I could possibly have a minor brain bleed but I’m wondering if it’s just my anxiety? Has anyone ever experienced this with their anxiety?
I just think it’s weird because I never experienced this feeling of being unbalanced until I hit the back of my head. I haven’t been the same since.
Please let me know!
