> My symptoms: A kind of lightheaded dizziness accompanied by a strange feeling of "unreality". Sometimes it feels like the surroundings are foggy, diffuse and distorted (like looking through a piece of glass or something). I also feel a kind o pressure behind my eyes (like after sleeping... and not feeling really awake. Sometimes it feels like I'm going to pass out, I start to sweat and may heart races.
Consider the possibility of panic disorder. All of the symptoms you describe are consistent with panic attacks. Another possibility is that you are having simple partial seizures. I would start out by seeing your GP and getting a referral to a neurologist, then see what the neuro says.
