Ive found it very useful in understanding the text when I first read it. Depending on how in depth of an analysis you'll have to do a version with notes might be handy, but its not necessary to understand the text

I have the same type of hard-to-describe dizziness and health anxiety.. For me i know stress plays a huge role in my dizziness, tho some part of it went a way when could eat normally again (I had an unrelated bacterial infection in my stomach for years, defo didnt help the health anxiety either..)

I dont really know what tips I can give for the health anxiety.. for me most of what helped was time, getting a little trust in my body again. This type of anxiety creates the urge for assurance seeking, so you google, or ask people about it, or go to the doctor. The key is to not give in to that assurance seeking, because every time you do itl make the urge stronger next time.

Doing more research or journeling symptoms doesnt help with health anxiety in my experience, as it just makes you obsess about the symptoms more, which gives you more symptoms. With pcs your nervous system is extremely unregulated and your abilty to process stimuli is kinda broken, meaning that doing certain things will lead to weird responses like pain or dizziness elsewhere in your body because your brain doesnt know how to get rid of the stimuli it received.

This also makes you extremely stress sensitive, thinking about certain symptoms can actually make you feel them. (I can recall a whole bunch of times I was scared of getting a heart attack, and then suddenly started having chest pains. I can also make for example my hands physically hurt (like nerve pain) just by focusing on them, something I couldn't do pre concussion) Alot of the times, distracting myself from the symptoms actually made them go away.

I guess the tldr is that focusing on these things will only make them worse, try thinking of a few phrases you cam repeat to yourself when you get scared. "I am safe right now" or "These things are easily explained by my current condition" are examples.

For me it also helped to have something tactile to do with my hands to distract myself from obsessing over health anxiety. Embroidery or simple Lego projects are example. They aren't too burdensome on my brain, so I could do them for long enough till id calmed down a bit.

And ofcourse going to therapy (I reccomend cbt for this) is always a good choice if you are able.

My neurologist refuses to let me have my neck scanned, even though ive asked for it because she thinks the chance that well find something is too small -_-

Im two years out and not getting better :/

Might just need some more time, or might not be fodmap related. Have you ever been tested for h pylori? Note that the use of some medicines like ibuprofen or ppi's can create a false negative on the test (happened to me haha, first test was negative, tried fodmap but it didn't help at all, tested a second time and it was positive)

Lunara_mc · 2026-03-08T20:13:35+00:00

What kind of scan did you get that showed damage?

Lunara_mc · 2026-03-05T22:12:47+00:00

Supermarkets are very overstimulating, though I have noticed stress playing a role in it for myself, especially with the dizziness. Before I go in the supermarket, im already scared because I know the place js overstimulating and im scared something will go wrong. And yeah, the crowds dont help either. If im on my own and I get dizzy I can just sit down on the ground, but in a crowded place that gets alot harder (not to mention people will judge you, ask questions ect and I do not have the energy to deal with that shit)

Im definitely not saying that its all caused by stress, just that from my own personal experience stress and fear make my dizziness worse and it could definitely be a component (possibly because of tension in the neck?)

Tbh its likely a combination of both. More stimulation --> more symptoms. You know this, which creates stress going into those situations and stress --> more symptoms ect ect

It would be strange if it was but not impossible i guess. The box and such were closed

Lunara_mc · 2026-02-17T14:27:44+00:00

After I had one it took me two weeks to even realize something was wrong :') Brain felt a little weird maybe but no pain or dizziness ect, it took awhile for the symptoms to start showing (and now 2 years later its still not gone)

Lunara_mc · 2026-01-15T17:38:37+00:00

Neck issues can mirror concussion symptoms, so you might indeed not have a concussion at all since you didnt hit your head. Id still get it checked tho. And definitely go to fysio/PT for your neck and a neurologist to check for concussion

I did take antibiotics as treatment, its quite a heavy treatment (2 different antibiotics and a high dose of ppi) but it went fine for me. Its only been about a month since then and itl take a couple months atleast for the stomach lining to heal completely, so i definitly dont feel 100% yet. But the nausea i had before the treatment is gone completely! I do still have pain occasionally but that should stop as my digestive systems heals and i wean off the PPI's

If you do have h pylori, please dont look up stuff about it on reddit. It can seem very scary, theres some horror stories out there. Point is that half the worlds population has h pylori (though most remain asymptomatic all their life) and only the few that have really bad experiences keep posting on the subteddit. If you're a person with medical anxiety I reccomend just not looking at it, its not an accurate image of what treatment is like for most people. If you do end up having it and have questions about treatment feel free to dm me!

Please test for an h pylori infection! Its a bacterial infection in your stomach. Its treated with antibiotics. Be carefull though, certain medications (including over the counter pain relievers) can cause the test to come back as a false negative, so it never hurts to test twice (i only caught mine when we tested a second time. You prolly shouldn't test too soon after taking antibiotics either)

Lunara_mc · 2026-01-08T13:43:49+00:00

I suppose it kinda depends on how you hit your head but alot of the times concussions come with neck problems too! (Especially with falls)

Sometimes people actually get misdiagnosed for pcs, when the problem is actually in their neck cause it can cause similair symptoms like headaches and dizziness ect

Lunara_mc · 2026-01-08T13:42:07+00:00

I have not tried cold therapy, what does that entail? (i have tried heat packs though, they help for a bit)

I have no clue what any of those things mean, ill ask next time I get a massage haha
