Episodes of dizziness, tingling sensation, heaviness in chest, lightheadedness, moderately stressed.  Suggest
human
Hi, I've just turned 21 years old. Female, under a moderate amount of stress. For a month and a half now I have not felt well. Whilst studying at my desk I would experience episodes of dizziness that are relieved when I have an aspirin, but after experiencing a tingling sensation I was advised by father to stop taking it in fear that I may be allergic. I have a weird sensation on my chest as if a heavy phone book is pressed against it. Occasionally, as I am experiencing now, I have a strange sensation travelling down my right arm. But my main complaint is the lightheaded feeling I get so often. What is it? Note: I have a healthy BMI, although I'm not a health fanatic, I rarely exercise, but I have a healthy diet (i would say). My heart rate is also normal: 68 beats per min.

Hi Sara.e.bedir , Forum , I can understand how anxious you might be and how much concerned you are about this episodes. Considering what episodic problem you have is typical features of Panic attack.This is kind of attack --can occur spontaneously , usually last for few seconds to few minutes --associated with palpitation,chest discomfort,chest tightness,breathlessness,tingling numbness in limbs,abdominal discomfort,dryness of mouth with heaviness of head with feeling like going to be crazy --absolutely normal in between two episodes but over concerned feeling that you might have it again and will get troubled in public so associated avoidance behavior can be there Panic attack can be result of Panic disorder or any underlying physical disorder can be confirmed after thorough investigation ( like thyroid profile, SOS EEG etc ) This disorder is very common , can be easily manageable and completely treatable.So visit to nearest psychiatrist who after thorough in person evaluation will confirm the diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. Hope this helps to you. Best regards.
