For the past 5 days I've been feeling dizzy when I move. Especially when I turn my head. One day my eyes felt like they were clashing together, like two planets colliding. A very strange feeling. With that, I'm also really tired which could just be a comfort response to the vertigo feeling. I haven't vomit. I've been working A LOT, forgetting to eat meals every now and then, and my period just ended today. I've got a smartwatch and because of my health anxiety I can literally see my heart rate spike and go down again throughout the day as I experience these symptoms. Seeing that just stresses me out more but also calms me down by being an indicator for the fact that I am alive.

I'm spiraling into a bunch of illnesses and potential issues like low vitamin D and iron levels, mono, diabetes, brain tumor, cancer. I've been googling and I think I'm going to go do a blood test check up for iron, ferritin, vitamin D and hba1c.

I know I have felt dizzy like this before and it just randomly passed after a week or two, has anyone else on here felt like this?

A lot of times when I have dealt with similar symptoms it has been due to head cold/sinus situations....and that can be the main or maybe even only symptom of the head cold/sinus as well.

I get dizziness the second I think of a health anxiety. It's literally instant. I'm about to have my bloods checked in under teo weeks. Dizziness is usually the first sign my anxiety is playing up

Any situation or symptom that scares me dizziness usually kicks in, sometimes even when I get emotional, which is often, whether it is for a happy or sad reason. Then other times but not always when I turn head quickly such as when cooking or doing other sort of chores and happens a lot with repetitive bending ie when gardening, cleaning etc.

Internet googling and constant health monitoring tend to increase my anxiety symptoms. But still I continue to do both.

Definitely drink water and electrolyte packets. I don't know what was it that helped me. I legit think I did have viral meningitis because it only stopped after 2 weeks.

Go for the test and the doctor will help you understand what is wrong and everything which is right.
