    Dizziness/anxiety or anxiety/dizziness

    Just had a thought ( first this year ,Lol )
    Is dizziness caused by anxiety or is the anxiety caused by the dizziness ?
    Has anyone been prescribed Prochlorperazine and found it's relieved anxiety ?
    Best wishes

    Hi Decca, I was taking this for dizzyness and it does relieve anxiety in the short term; although it sometimes does not deal with the dizzyness I have found.

    decca , it all depends on what is going on ,
    in some people they have a underlying condition that causes dizziness that then brings on anxiety.
    The best thing to do is to keep a diary of symptoms , when ,where , why and how ? Then see if a pattern is emerging.

    Inner ear disorders , silent migraines and thyroid problems can cause dizziness everyday for some people.

    This site is very good at explaining the different types of dizziness.........

    Hi Mirry,
    Thanks for the reply and the link to a very informative website.
    I'm afraid mine is an age thing ( everybody say awwwe,lol) and the side effects of my heart meds.
    It's more a sort of wooziness rather than dizziness but it just made me wonder which came first the dizziness or the anxiety and I have to say it was the dizziness.
