How Can Anxiety Along With Dizziness And Chest Pain Be Treated?

I m suffer with anxiety and dealing with a lot of stress at the moment but I just wanted a couple things cleared up really to set my mind at ease. I keep suffering from a headache which I believe to be from stress however I did have a minor blow to the head in a swimming pool, I m scared it may be more as I ve also been experiencing sensitivity to outside light, extremely anxious and my eye sight going dizzy and feeling as though I may faint (which I never have so far) I m also experiencing a lot of tension throughout my shoulder and right arm and a lot of tension in my jaw. + I reguslarly get chest pains at the moment. What should I do? I ve not been sleeping much either.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be more of neurological.as you had mentioned about a blown overhead, you can once go for an MRI brain to rule out any trauma, tumors, bleed etc. but don’t worry as the chance of a clear MRI is very very high.

Regarding chest pain, please observe the following:
1) go for an ECG. It would rule out any cardiac problems. 2) it’s better to consult a physician and have his opinion after the above test.

The following are some of the suggestions that I give to my patients who visit my clinic with similar complaints:
1) the most important thing is to keep stress under control. I know it’s easier to preach than to practice.
2) here are a few tips
a) daily exercise.yoga has an edge
b) meditation for at least 5-10 min daily. c) the best stress buster is a family get together and dinner at least 1 day in a week.
d) solving maths puzzles and crossword puzzles would help refresh the brain. Just try the above for 1 week. You’ll see a change. But do not neglect your chest pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
