What is this?

Hi, for the past week i have been feeling dizzy on and off especially when moving about or standing up too long, and today in hairdressers i started to get it again then started to feel all hot and face bright red, feel like im gonna fall over, i dont have a headache but soreness behind my eyes if that makes sense, is this anxiety?

And obviously due to anxiety i am worried about it :(

The dizziness and soreness behind your eyes sounds like maybe your sinuses are irritated from something. I get this all the time when I'm having a bad allergy day or have a sinus infection. Its especially bad in the morning and seems to get better as the day goes on.

As for the flushing and hot face that's probably anxiety over what you were feeling.

If the dizziness gets too bothersome maybe seeing an ENT or your doctor would help and they could give you something for allergies or check out your sinuses. But its absolutely nothing to worry about! :)

I have the hot face flushes, usually bought on when I feel anxious or if I am googling or worrying about symptoms.

I get this too, it has been my most difficult symptom. It's common with anxiety.

[swgrl09]

i get this when i am tense in my neck and shoulders or if my sinuses are congested. also, make sure you are drinking enough water and getting enough iron, as dehydration and anemia can also cause this. but it is common with anxiety too. it's good you are going to the doctors though because they may have a simple fix for you!

I have had that on and off for as long as I can remember and it usually puts me in panic mode sort of like this....

Im walking or standing
Feeling dizzy light headed as tho I can't walk straight
I start thinking I'm going to pass out
It's progressively gets worse
Breathing gets heavier
Panic sets in
Before I know it I'm crouching in against a wall trying to calm down lol

I also had to attend meeting at work with loads of people standing if you couldn't get a seat then I would start feeling hot a dizzy cos I think I'm going to faint and again my mind goes into panic mode again

All anxiety of coarse! :)
