I basically feel an emotional wreck, Im suffering dizziness and just feel like everything is surreal like Im not really here, I just feel like I have lost control on life and that Im cracking up which I cannot afford to having kids and a job I have felt dizzy for a long time now but its been managable until last week I had a turn where I couldnt walk properly and had to hold on to walls and just concentrate on getting to my car. Ever since then I have not been right I went to the doc when this happened and he said its low blood pressure and seemed to think I would be fine, Im not and now Im thinking this is all in my head and I cant cope anymore

Hello & welcome to the group. I'm sorry you're feeling so badly right now.

Didn't your doctor do anything about your low blood pressure? If it's so bad it's making you dizzy, shouldn't something be done?

Hi Dizzy,

If you don't feel like your doctor is truly listening or helping, you should get a new doctor. The thing is, even if it is "all in your head" (aka Panic), your doctor should be working with you to figure out how to address the issue. I would make some phone calls and find another doctor if I were you.

Take care, good luck, and let us know how you're doing. I hope you feel better soon!!
