Re: Off balance and dizzy
I am so glad that I found this site because I thought I was going crazy. Here is my story, please tell me what you think, I will try and not be too long winded. I have this feeling as if I am still moving when I am standing still. When I move or walk around I feel as if I am on a boat or trying to walk on a small raft on the water. I feel like I am dipping down severely from one step to the next. I feel like my movements are extreme, but I look perfectly normal, noone expects a thing. I cannot stand it. It is really bad right now and feel like I can't go on like this. I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks, and had sinus surgery back in May 2007. I had the very same feelings prior to surgery for about 2 weeks but they went away. Now they have come back with a vengence. I have had a little nasal congestion, and my famiy is going through a crises right now. Could it be the 2 are feeding off of each other? I usually wake up in the morning and I feel fine and then it starts to hit me around 3 pm sometimes sooner. It makes no sense. I work in a hospital as a nurse and I am afraid how this is going to affect my job and my life. I can't continue to go on like this. Any advice will be appreciated. I'm not giving up, but I'm getting desperate.

what happened to irbuds and jules 31?
Re: Off balance and dizzy
I have felt the exact same way as jules31 and irbuds and also have had anxiety for a few years now, also am super stressed out all the time i worry about everything it sucks:( The dizziness and off balance thing just started a few weeks ago and i am starting to think that is all because of being stressed and having anxiety because everytime i get really p****d about somehting it gets worse and the pressure in my head gets way worse then i feel like im off balanced and cant think straight like a foggy headed feeling. Anyone else see the same picture developing for themselves?

Re: Off balance and dizzy
Hi Everyone
As you can see, this is my first post. I am relieved to see that I am not alone with these feelings of being off balance
I just feels as though my body is awkward and what used to be effortless; like walking quickly and stopping/turning is a real labour
I am just worried that one day I will fall in the road or somehwere.
I hope that all people suffering can provide any more insight and advice
I know how you are feeling

Re: Off balance and dizzy
I have had anxiety for 5 years, this is a new symptom that came in November and it has come on and off since then
off balance, when walking around it feel the floor drop, move or bounce. like I am walking on a boat
I have been to the doctor so many times he keeps telling me its anxiety, it goes away for a week then comes back for a week. Its scarey stuff.
I just pray it is the anxiety and it goes away.
It makes me obsess about everything my head, my eyes, my eyes even got sensitive for a period I rushed to the doctor with them and he said they where perfect.
Its hard to belive its a symptom, when you never have experienced it before.
Re: Off balance and dizzy
hey folks
i completely agree
i have had this weird feeling for 4 years now
it comes randomly on and off
buttt the thing i have noticed is if i play sports and or run around i dont notice it...
it feels like something inside my head is spinning making me feel off balance.
it sucks!
