Hi
I'm 5 months into my PCS and light headiness is one of my worse symptoms, my headaches have stopped, but I have lightheaded episodes and dizziness. Like you I am now getting depressed and anxious all the time, convinced I have a major head problem. My neurologist things it is just time, he doesn't feel I need a scan because I don't show signs of numbness or pain. The problem I have now is trying to recognise what is anxiety and what is actually physical symptoms. So fed up with it all, just want to be normal again

James

I don't know if you are experiencing vertigo, but the medication Antivert helps with this. Also, the lightheadedness and dizziness could be caused by crystallization in your inner ear. A chiropractor and/or cranial sacral therapist might be able to help with this. Good luck.
