This weekend I was out with family and friends when all of a sudden I started to feel quite dizzy. So I took myself outside to get some fresh air and have a moment to myself.

Unfortunately a few people followed me, with best intentions they tried to make sure I was okay. I obviously appreciate it but it just made me feel a whole lot worse. As in my mind, I felt some pressure to "shake it off" and I knew I just couldn't and I imagined myself getting worse and worse, even creating a "scene". 
Once I realized I was able to head home from that situation, I naturally started to feel a bit better. 
But through their comforting at the time, some of them suggested that I may have something like diabetes (!) and to go get tested. Whilst true and something that I should get tested, it's not what I needed to hear at that moment. 
Being a bit of a hypochondriac, it's plagued me all weekend that I might have to action these tests and I've not felt right since!

This morning, I received a message from my boss, just a casual chat about the week, it's fine and normal. But afterwards it instantly triggered another dizzy episode, the room was spinning. But despite all that I've mentioned, I'm quite good at rationalizing with myself. Because I could quite clearly see the trigger, I could quickly dissipate the dizziness.

I suppose the pressure to "feel better" to be able to make it to work, triggered the dizzy spell? The pressure to "feel better" during the first episode, made me worse. The pressure to look after my family (I am my wife's carer and we have a young child), is just always there, I don't really get a chance to rest. I mean, that not true, I get lots of free time. But it seems I have these dizzy spells at the worst time, such as both my wife and child need assistance at the same time! I don't want to let them down but sometimes I just need to sit down and gather myself, sometimes I can't and it makes me feel worse. 

Sorry, I'm new here, apologies if it's bad etiquette. I just needed to get this written down.

Hopefully someone can relate and let me know how they handle, especially feeling dizzy symptoms?
