I am experiencing the following symptoms:
*Pressure in temples and across forehead and back of eyes
*Dizziness/Feeling like i am going to overbalance sometimes
*Slight nausea (never actually been sick)
*Heavy head
*Tingling sensation in head/face/hands/feet on both sides on occasions
*sometimes feel disorientated
*Periods offeeling tired, when i cant seem to stop yawning

My functions are fine, i can see, hear speak and move perfectly.

I used to suffer anxiety attacks and chest pain/palpatations which i was perscribed beta blockers for, these stopped the anxiety and chest pain. I have had ECG's and numerous blood tests all have come back ok, apart from what my DR says is a border line underactive thyroid which he thinks will have gone back to normal when i have my next blood test in a few weeks. He seems to think its anxiety based and has referred me to a shrink, but i think anxiety is an easy diagnosis and an easy way out for him, im not convinced. Any ideas?

This summer I started a really bad sleeping habit. I would sometimes stay up till 6-7 am, talking on the phone or going on the computer, sometimes just watching tv. Now I stay up as late as 4-5 am. What can I do? I want my sleeping schedual to be back to normal before school starts next week. I feel tired durring the day and at night but sometimes I just can't fall asleep. Could this be insomnia? Is there anything I can do?

i think theres something wrong because i get lightheaded a lot and i get tired really easy when doing exercise even though im at a healthy weight and i know i dont have asthma or anything. i dont know if its relavent but im also really pale and my diet is basically hot pockets, cereal, and diet cokes. last time i went to a doctor, she just said i was unconditioned but i try to run a lot and i still get just as tired every time and nothing has changed with my endurance since ive seen her a year ago :-/ she made me feel like a hypochondriac so i dont know if im just being overdramatic. what do you think?

Placebos have even been shown to cause unpleasant side effects. Dermatitis medicamentosa and angioneurotic edema have resulted from placebo therapy. There are even reports of people becoming addicted to placebos.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty rough so my doc just stuck me on Klonopin for short term relief. I'm just wondering how others did with this drug? I don't usually handle drugs well and I can't afford to be loopy all day. Nor do I want to be addicted. He only gave me a 30 day supply.
Does anyone have experience with this drug for short term?

why when people say they feel bad that some people respond "happyness is a choice", when they've never experienced true mental illness(anxiety, depression, bi polar, schizophrenia)For those who think you can decide how you feel, let me ask you this: can you decide if you have diabeties, cancer, autism? Mental illness is caused by a lot of body imbalances. the brain doesn't usually have chemical imbalances alone, there's something else causing it,usually. yes some people can change their chemistry by the way they think, but with severe mental illness, this is not the case. One example is zinc deficiency, another b12 and b6 deficiency, google them if you don't beleive me. and there are many more. so please if you hear someone say they're having a problem, just be supportive and don't say "it's your choice"

I didn't eat anything red, such as red tomatos or red hot chesstos, or just anything extremly red. This proves that those were actually blood on my poop. And the poop appears to color; half light brownish and a small half red. It didn't hurt when i poop, but there were just blood on my poop. This is actually the first time it ever happen, and I'm sure it came from my butt hole and not anywhere else. Help! I'm scared if I'm haveing some kind of sickness that could lead me to the hospital then to death.

I have had wrist pain off and on for over a year and just lately I have noticed my other wrist is starting to become sore also. Does anyone have rhumatoid arthritis or know the symptoms. I can still move my wrist but they are sore if I push them back to much.
