Hello reddit,

I am 18M. Aproximately one year and a half ago, my mother went through a vertigo-related healthscare(she was very nauseous, feeling like the room is spinning).

I was fine at first, but after aproximately a month I suddenly developed similar symptoms. I discarded the posiblity of it being anxiety because i thought that i should have developed these symptoms faster than a month, and thought that I was seriously ill. At the time I was spening a lot of time on the computer, because I was training for competitive programming contests, and my father said that it was anxiety from staying on the computer so much. Maybe my memory isn't accurate, but I dont think i felt sick or nauseous while

at the computer before he said that. Fast forward to today, I am feeling much better, but there are still some things that I dont know if they are normal, or what should I do to make it better. I randomly feel throughout the day that my muscles are weak, even though i have no reason to believe they are. On top of that, about once a week i get the feeling that I’ve becomed extremely dumb and don’t understand anything. I observed that these feelings go away when i am with or talking to someone, so thats makes me believe that all this is just anxiety. When I try to work at anything related to programming or math(things ive been considering myself good at prior to that event) these feelings of being dumb and slight muscle pain intensify.

I hope all this doesnt sound too silly, but has anyone experience something similar before? What can I do to make it better.

Also, if you feel like this isn't the right subreddit this should be posted to, please tell me where should I actually post it.

Thank you in advance!

TL;DR Mom went through a healthscare about 1.5 years ago. Started getting similar symptoms. Father blamed this on burnout from studying programming. I believe that this is the reason I get anxiety especially when programming. Am i the only one that experienced something like this?
