So for the past few weeks I've felt off. Not quite dizzy, just a little off balance when I turn my head or move quickly. Sometimes I feel lightheaded while sitting still. I've been assuming it was from anxiety, but yesterday I realized I've been so preoccupied by anxiety I haven't been eating much. One meal a day, if that.

I made an effort yesterday afternoon and today to eat. I had 2 decent meals today and some fruit but I still have the slight dizziness? I would Google how long it takes hunger-induced dizziness to go away but knowing my luck I would end up diagnosing myself with brain cancer (moreso than I already have).

Of course I'm sure the anxiety is making it worse, if not causing it entirely. I don't know, I'm worried enough to lose sleep over it but not worried enough to go to the effort of convincing my parents I need someone to look at my brain NOW and tell me if it's healthy.

Dizziness is very common as you will see with all the posts about it on here. Lots of causes too.One of the big causes as I was told is tense muscles in shoulders and neck.Have you been having any muscle tension ?

I'm the same and because of the anxiety I too have not been eating too well. My muscles are tense all over including my tummy. Xx
