Off balance

[Emmylou93]

Hello everyone.

I'm new to this forum so sorry if I'm doing something wrong!

I have suffered with health anxiety for many years but only recently has it began to ruin my life. I am off work sick and find it difficult to leave the house.

I have developed a phobia of walking because sometimes when I do I feel kind of off balance like someone is pulling me over. I've never actually fallen and no body says I walk funny but it is still very scary. I have been to the doctors many times terrified I have a brain tumour or Ms. But they've ran loads of tests and said its anxiety.

My question is has anyone else experienced this feeling and how did you overcome it?

Thanks
Em

Hi Emmylou, anxiety can cause lightheadedness and dizziness, as my gp told me years ago..I wasn't convinced and found out later that it was from tight neck muscles and sinus issues.
