Dizzyness/lightheaded/Balance

[jarmummy123]

3 weeks ago I felt dizzy, that lasted about 10 days, then for a few days I felt off balance, that went and then today I have had spells of feeling a bit dizzy.

does anyone else experience this and what is yours like?

yeah iv had exactly the same thing for the same amount of time, i thought it was ha? but today my partner is suffering the same symptoms. maybe a virus we both had heavy colds before. iv also had pins and needles like sensation in my head?

I get this off balance feeling most days. Sometimes i almost have to hold myself up and feel like i cant walk straight. Even sitting down i feel the same. It's a horrible feeling but im told it can be anxiety related. Apparently vertigo can have the same symptons and its common for anxiety sufferers to suffer with vertigo also. x

very common symptom of anxiety. If all else has been ruled out, it's likely only anxiety making you feel that way.

Vertigo is fairly common and usually has no underlying cause. Anxiety can do this as well. I've gone through periods of dizzy days, and maybe 10 years back I had it for a week. Are you on any medications? New vitamins? Sometimes these things can cause it.
