I feel weird most of the time. It's difficult to explain, because usually the feeling is so vague. But here's what happens.

*Most of the time I feel a little odd
- a little disconnected from my body
- feel faint, light headed?
- not that the room is spinning, but that I am moving, maybe off balance as if my pulse were pushing me (hard to explain…)
- standing still for a while is difficult, I feel a bit off balance, my legs get sore

*Sometimes it's a bit worse and
-I feel like I can't get enough oxygen
- feel faint
- disconnected from body (especially legs)

*It occassionaly is even worse and I have the previous symptoms as well as
- feeling cold or hot and sweating
- shaking
- feeling very faint, lie I might pass out
When it get's like this it usually lasts for about an hour

I've had blood tests, and a holter monitor with nothing showing.

It's always on my mind. I'm 21. I just want to not feel so scared of this so I can get a job and school and everything.

hi,

these symptoms sound to me like a mild panic disorder...i've had full blown panic attacks and they start out like your symptoms do....feeling unreality,
trouble catching my breath, dizzy like i could fall or like the floor is moving, cold and hot sweats, shaking ect..ect..

do you feel nervous at all? are you under alot of stress? my panic attacks started when i was about 25 or so...had no idea what was wrong with me.....thought it was my heart .....was scared spitless. see your doctor again if you think this might be the problem.....he can help you calm down with meds..........hope this helps a little peace

I'm a bit nervous, yes, especialy when I feel weird. I think panic or anxiety might be a part of my problem, but I'm think and wondering if there is something really wrong. I don't think I have much to be stressed about.I mean, it'll happen at random times, and like I said I usually feel weird. But I haven't always been this way.

I was noticing also that I have a hard time keeping my head up without resting it on my hand or something.
