      I hadn’t been on antidepressants either when this happened to me. The only thing I stopped doing was working out so besides being stressed that was the only other thing that changed. It was so weird and scary

    I have had chronic anxiety before symptoms began but worse now. Only time I experienced brain zaps was following day after surgery for a complete hysterectomy, it was either caused by shock of hormone depletion or from anesthesia, however I had surgeries before and never had issue's with same anaesthesia. The zaps radiated from head to both arms and hands while trying to fall asleep, lasted only a week. Than another time year's later was from coming off SSRI. I had read recently a person had them that resulted in having going to full-fledged seizures, was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, to find out from a Neurologist it was from a migraine medication, once stopped medication it went away.
    I apologize in advance for this long comment, sharing to give reason for question and maybe you have and another person out there is experiencing the same, I know we all can learn from each other. Any suggestions or opinions are greatly appreciated.
    Reason I've posted question, is curious as if my findings on MRI may have been just "incidental" findings that are correlated to symptoms or not correlated. "I initially did go to Neurologist for my symptoms, however do realize the lesions may not be of cause". I know I can't get a diagnosis online, wouldn't expect to, I'm on a hunt to get to root of cause, the more knowledge I obtain thru research and asking questions, the more questions I'll know to provide to follow up visits with Neurology, Doctors etc...
    SYMPTOMS-
    ✔BEGAN 3 YEARS AGO WITH Constant floating and swaying 24/7
    ✔Head heavy
    ✔Internal vibrations in base of skull and back of head
    ✔Internal vibrations in head and back falling asleep
    ✔Pressure in head
    ✔Neck hurts from trying to hold my head to compensate for constant floating in head
    ✔Right eye twitching
    ✔Sweat at night sometimes
    ✔Buttocks feels like it moves when sitting still
    ✔Tingling in feet
    ✔Sometimes thigh feels spastic
    ✔Brain zaps periodically, "I don't take any antidepressant as from my understanding withdrawal can cause that.
    ✔Headaches sometimes never been one to have them, on sides and around back
    ✔Severe Vertigo periodically when laying on left side
    ✔Severe fatigue, can barely function
    ✔Lay on left side sometimes and have terrible vertigo, which tells me it could be inner ear or neck
    ✔Tinnitus- began around July 2020
    ✔Severe anxiety and depression caused by symptoms.
    I've seen a Neurologist and various doctor's, Cardiologist and Audiologist, had a battery of blood tests, multiple vestibular tests were performed which nothing was found, however "2" small white matter lesions were found on my MRI brain scan, but Nuerologist stated symptoms aren't correlated with that or signify any " Demyelinative plague" lesions that would speculate MS. One lesion in the "Superior Frontal Lobe" and second one documented on report as "may" be a "vascular variant" located in the "Dorsal Pons", which Neurologist stated it could be from aging, past migraines, or at some point a "TIA", but not sure, however stated symptoms are not correlated to lesions.
    I've even had 2 CT Scans in past 3 year's and nothing was found.
    I know my lower right back region where it meets the buttocks, has been pulled before, sometimes it pulls again which causes pain, therefore that could be reason for tingling more in right foot, and right thigh feeling a twitch at times.
    I had a "complete" hysterectomy in 1993, was on HRT until 2017, than roughly a month later after stopping is when the 24/7 floating and rocking began in conjunction with severe fatigue.
    I don't know if bending my head to look at my phone has created a issue in my neck that's contributed to symptoms, and there's actually a "combined" reasons playing into the symptoms. For example, tingling in feet is from lower back, or from neck region and 24/7 floating is from another issue, hormonal, lesions or could be coming from neck.
    Just maybe anxiety, I have had a lot of stressful events in past 3 year's, my mother passed, I had to move and lost everything, been taking care of my father on hospice but don't know if anxiety can present all those symptoms.
    "It's a long complex quest for sure and hope I find the “specific” test to zero in on cause”.
    Something interesting I read the other day, a Functional Neurologist stated to look for and to diagnose Meniere's Disease is to conduct a MRI of the ear rather than just depending on Corlic Test, to use a “Spec Test” to look for lack of blood flow in brain, and a “Volumetric MRI” for those experiencing “chronic dizziness” to look at the Cerebellum in the brain.
    I thank you very much for taking the time to give insight. Thank you for taking the time to read this. All these symptoms have me crying everyday and making my anxiety so bad.

      @@kimmiekins - Thank you so much for responding, and taking your time to do so, sure means a lot. I could tell by your delivery in your video, you have enormous empathy and are great for investigations into health, which when you stated you work in the health field it didn't surprise me.
      When you touched on your sister having migraines, and things showing up on her MRI, after researching migraines I've found it's common. The thing that gets me is I've never suffered from migraines, however I've had "some" migraines in the past, which "maybe" a few is all it takes to leave scars on the brain. Hope your sister is doing well.
      The brain zaps are scary, I had one earlier tonight, when I laid down flat on back on the pillow, it causes me to jump up, cause it's so frightening, and like you, I start getting scared thinking if it's seizures.
      I do believe stressful events can bring on an array of these symptoms. I will mention I've had health anxiety for many years but will say, it's helped me enormously in some situations, one in particular was I had a rare pregnancy, similar to "ectopic pregnancy", where pregnant in fallopian tube, but mine was between corner of uterus and fallopian tube, I kept feeling like something was off in my mind and body, ( I had no pain), no physical symptoms but just felt impending feeling something wasn't right, at first thought my health anxiety was the main culprit of it, that's a scenario where it did save me, OBGYN called me the following day after a sonogram, had me go straight in for emergency surgery. ( I often think back, maybe my health anxiety just played a lucky guess), cause there many times I was wrong.
      As for hormones, the more research I've been doing, didn't realize the pivotal role it plays on the brain, and can present many symptoms as well as thyroid disorders, which I do have hypothryoidism, was diagnosed in 1993, had to have a "benign" tumor removed. Been on thyroid medication since. My understanding also is stress, diet, and life style can alter all those hormones as well. I know you're aware of all this as you have a great insight and plus working in the medical field. It's wonderful to connect with others that understand, it is comforting. My logic wants to say this is my anxiety and stressful events, but considering my past health situations, not having any reproductive hormones and possibly the lesions, it could be something correlated to that.
      Vestibular Migraines I've learned recently have similar symptoms as well, from anywhere chronic rocking, swaying, dizziness, off balance to vertigo, brain zaps, to other symptoms.
      My health anxiety keeps me investigating for answers. I know anxiety and depression can manifest many symptoms of the brain and body but I want to make sure I don't miss nothing.
      *You mentioned the stress and serotonin levels, I often think of mine may be depleted. That's interesting you mentioned that.
      I'm sincerely sorry all you've gone through and anyone that has gone or will go through this. It brings some comfort of not not being alone in this. Thank you for contact e-mail. Again glad I found you. It's so great you're being a voice for other's. I understand it gets busy as you mentioned you're all over the place, you're doing wonderful with it.

    In December, I caught a stomach bug that has stuck with me for months. The problem was that the stomach flu damaged my stomach causing reflux and lactose intolerance, and started to take antidepressants/anxiety because the doctor ordered it for now. Very small dose. We went to a therapist and she said I don’t have anxiety. Yay! But I still am ill. So, we got a specialist that said to go off dairy and I feel much better, but I still have to get an acid reflux prescription. Recently I stopped taking so much gravol. I stopped taking the antidepressants and me being stupid, didn’t tell my mom. I didn’t think it would hurt me to stop it but I was wrong. I don’t know if it is gravol or antidepressants withdrawal, but I can’t go up or down the stairs with ouch havig brain zaps. Almost passed out. I have only been taking half the amount of gravol but the zaps come back after 1-3 hours of taking the gravol. Haven’t seen a doctor because I’m afraid they are annoyed at how much we have been going and the fact that coronavirus is making them very busy. I’m hoping it’s nothing to worry about. I’m 14 and female, and having less nausea and way more zaps. The nausea never made me throw up but I’d just have to lay down for so long and hope the gravol would kick in soon. At one point my mom said I have an addiction, I was taking them as often as I could. Never at a high dose and I’d never take more than the package said. I’d wake up at 5:00 and need to stay up because I was too sick to lay down with my thoughts. I would put on a show and it would make me feel much better. I don’t want pity, but it seems like I’m asking for it. Everyone I tell just doesn’t think of how bad it is, they don’t think it’s anything bad and say that I’m over-reacting. I don’t know if not taking milk helped or if I’ve gotten so used to the nausea that it doesn’t bother me as much anymore...

      I am so very sorry that I haven't replied to your comment sooner, I wasn't notified and then I was going through my comments to make sure that I replied to them all and realize I didn't get to yours. Since its been six months I hope first and foremost that you have started to feel better. As far as your acid reflux I've recently noticed that part of my anxiety symptoms is reflux so that plus the stomach flu could be causing that. I am sorry that your therapist told you that you didn't have anxiety... always remember that you know yourself better than anyone and if you feel something is wrong or that you have anxiety I would get a second opinion always. I have a video I want to film about my first experience with a thearpist and how it almost made me never want to go back, but I've decided to bad so far I feel that my experience is going way better this time. When ever I am anxious I love to put on shows to distract myself. Especially shows that I loved growing up, it was a comfort too me.I am not sure if you are still on medication but please don't stop it suddenly make sure to talk to your mom and doctor. Brain zaps and other symptoms surrounding that are super scary. Please stay safe, and I hope you are doing better now. You can always reach out and talk to me if you need anything.

    @Kimmie Kins, thanks for sharing! I believe these "brain zaps" are similar to what I'm experiencing big time these days. Feels like I'm getting electrocuted all the time, in addition I've started to have the worst tremors, shakes, twitches and all sorts of muscle spams. Suddenly it's my hands, then it's my leg and even my lip trembles occasionally etc. My neck trembles when sitting down. I have anxiety and been battling it for a good 20 years now, but it's never been as strong as now with all the physical symptoms. Been taking Xanax on and off for all these years as well. I REALLY feared I developed a neurological decease. I actually went to a neurologist assessment, and sure enough after just a few minutes of checking me I was told I have a diagnose called essential tremor. I was terrified so my tremors got even worse after that, but now I'm starting to doubt that diagnose. Could all these physical reactions be generated from mental strain? I was hoping the tremors are "only" anxiety and not a rare neurological decease. Could the neurologist be wrong? She also told me that my anxiety was making my tremors worse. Telling me I have a neurological decease that only 1% of the population in my country have was a terrible shock. Now I'm considering a second opinion from another neurologist.

I may be in denial here but that 1% diagnose seems a bit hasty, still the tremors are terrible. Interesting to hear about how your anxiety works, I've discovered there's alot of tremor issues among us. The brain zaps feels more like body zaps with me, I can be lying in bed and suddenly these electric shocks speeds trough my entire system. I really appreciate your channel and support. Anxiety is a very physical thing, people don't realize that.

    So I have been having these for the last week. I started getting the zaps about 20 times a day, and each time I was super lightheaded for a few seconds. It freaked me out. I went to the doctor and he said he thought I had vertigo (i dont), and he gave me meclazine which made it TEN TIMES WORSE. I have taken SSRIs several times in the past but did not stay on them due to the side effects. It’s been almost 2 years now. I have had anxiety for years along with panic attacks.

      moos dad it’s literally the scariest, and since I wasn’t on any medication I couldn’t understand why I was having them.. i figured it may have been related to me stopping working out since i worked out for years suddenly stopped and too me it seemed like stopping a medication in a way. But whenever i talked to doctors they literally looked at me like I was crazy

It doesn’t help i work at a hospital so I know more than I ever should know medically. I promise you though it gets better. Once i started realizing I wasn’t alone and found people to talk to about it, That helped a bunch. Like you I hated meds, I never wanted to go on them. And then the one time I tried I freaked myself out because of the possible serious side effects I had to stop them.
