Chronic brain fog / dizziness?

[beetlejuice]

Hi everyone!

I have been experiencing brain fog and slight to mild dizziness, rarely strong for the past 2-3 weeks. In the first week it was mostly strong, It was really worrying me, the doctor said it can't be neurological, blood tests were normal. The brain fog I have is kind of - my mind seems to be somewhere else, just having random thoughts, as the thoughts I have are reality and the real world is more like a dream, often I find myself with blurred vision and tripping on my thoughts. It is really difficult to focus on doing math or programming. It feels like I am tipsy almost all the time. And the dizziness just comes and goes, but it's not like the world is spinning but more like, lightheadedness. It makes me feel tired and sleepy, I have bad dreams lately as well... Could it be all from my anxiety? Could I feel constant brain fog and mild dizziness every day for the past 2-3 weeks from too much anxiety? The number of panic attacks have decreased a lot and I feel better in general but this brain fog and dizziness still  bothers me quite a bit... sometimes it escalates to mild panics. What do you think? The real issue here is that the longer that dizziness stays, the more I think I have cancer or something else : /

I felt kinda similar to how you were feeling a few months ago, and it turned out to be Sinus Congestion, the mucus can put pressure on your inner ear and cause you to be dizzy and feel weird.

I have an appointment with the Ear doctor on 30th... so I need to wait until then to see if it is an inner ear problem. I hope it turns out it is, however stupid it might sound, because not knowing what causes it, is driving me nuts : /

I was just dizzy/lightheaded for 3 months straight and it was horrible! All tests came back fine so I concluded it was the anxiety. I still get it for a few days straight and then it goes away for a few. When it first starts I panick a little but then have to talk myself down. I would say if it's getting better, it's the anxiety.
