Anxiety can cause all the above Symptoms..

While the episodic anxiety attacks can present with nausea, dizziness, uneasiness, increased heart beat, sweating, blurring or double vision, feeling of going crazy, feeling of impeding doom, shakiness, fainting and vertigo also..

It is also related to particular stressful events..after which person develops anxiety..
Episodic anxiety that lasts for 5 to 15 minutes and subsides on its own can be called as panic attacks..

It has been on going for a few months due to a recent std scare. All resaults were negative at 4 months but my fears come periodicly through the day! Would 4 months be good time to detect stds? Test done were hiv, hep ABC, herpes 1&2, syphilis, gonerea, chlymidia! All negative .

Brief Answer:
you should not worry

Detailed Answer:
hi..thanks for writing.

i can not understand what are you asking for?

all the results of the tests have came negative..whats with 4 months duration..do you have unprotected sex after the negative results?

there are STDs which can be detected for longer duration in body , but when all have came negative then you should'nt worry..

if you have encountered any of the STDs then by 4 month it shud have came in the tests..so if they came negative means you do not have STDs and you need not to worry...

i think this information will help you...best of luck..
