light headedness

[AngelHeart]

Just wondering if anyone suffers from this due to depression or anxiety. I have bouts of this from time to time where I feel off balance when I move my head and it can last for several days. I can't sleep of a night so maybe I was thinking it was lack of sleep. Just worries me when I get it and I think worrying makes it worse :-( Thank you xxx

Are you drinking enough water? I get this when I'm dehydrated but it was also the first sign that my anxiety was getting out of control. I used to notice it when I left the house but was always ok when at home. It has eased since being on betablockers but I think that is because the adrenaline can't get out of control and bring on my many anxiety symptoms!!

Are you on any meds? x

Am not on any meds but can relate to the lack of drinking as I dont think I drink enough through the day. I have had several panoc attacks over the last few weeks so its most probably related to that too. I just feel so exhausted all the time !!
Thanks for replying xx

My first symptom of being run down was panic attacks and light headedness. Try and up your water intake and get yourself some multivitamins to give your immune system a boost. I ignored the warning signs that I was getting run down and ended up really bad with my anxiety so try and nip it in the bud :) x
