Elizabethrose, slightly different from what I had a few months ago. Then I was dizzy. GP reduced BP meds & dizziness went. This is different. It's quite overwhelming at times. My mum used to be housebound with anxiety. I can still remember her sitting on staircase in tears phoning someone, possibly my father, saying she couldn't leave the house. She got so bad that she couldn't take me to school. My dad left early for work, so at about age 5, I was taught how to go on bus myself. My mum could cope with getting me to the bus stop, but not on the bus.
I've read various articles on similar symptoms, many having been to specialists to find absolutely nothing wrong. I guess knowing what happened to my dad, it's a natural reaction. Think GP thought I'd lost the plot when I said I needed someone to take me seriously. 😀 I swithered for ages, thinking I'd be brushed aside. GPs predecessor had little time to "listen."
Hubby isn't unsympathetic, but finds it hard to understand as I look OK when these episodes happen. My daughter tells me off for having slightly raised cholesterol, she's a stroke nurse. My GP not overly worried by cholesterol & not someone who pushes for statins either.
