Lightheadedness… hyperventilation syndrome?
Question:
Hello all… I have a sort of complicated deal going on at the moment. I have obsessive compulsive disorder which means that I worry about a single distressing thing alot throughout a given day for many weeks to months…. Anywayz… in october (way back when) I was under alot of stress, and I started to not be able to function in my classes that I take — I started feeling like I couldn’t escape — out of breath — dizzy — headache ect… which progressed into me fearing that I was going to pass out… Any wayz, my doctor put me on zoloft and tranxene — the zoloft did nothing but the tranxene at 7.5 mg dose alleviated symptoms greatly… but I never took them for long for fear of becoming dependent. Now here it is almost april, and like every day I feel sooo lightheaded… even if Im at home away from stressful areas I feel so lightheaded like Im going to pass out.. I don’t know if anything physical could be causing my symptoms as again I’ve been having these symptoms since october… Could I have some sort of thyroid problem/endocrine problem?
Response:
Hmm, also could the zoloft be doing alot of this? I really dont think it’s helping me at all…. It hasn’t alleviated my obsessive thoughts ect… Is a side effect of zoloft constant lightheadedness?
