Dizziness (PLEASE READ)

[NoahsMom]

I am here for reassurance just like every one else *sigh*



I have recently found that I get bouts of vertigo (or at least I think it's vertigo) that last about 5 seconds


I suddenly get really dizzy and the room feels like it's spinning. Then it stops after a couple of seconds. And I am constantly feeling like I am on a boat (also having a lot of neck pain/tension).... I am extremely terrified that there is an underlying problem that is causing this that will lead to my death if I don't get it checked out. I am scared that I have high cholesterol or something.... I am only 24 but I am about 20 pounds overweight because I just had a baby 6 months ago and I am struggling to lose the baby weight, so I am scared the excess weight is causing health problems..... please anyone if you think it's something serious please let me know I promise I won't go into a panic attack, I am just really concerned..




P.S. I am tapering off Xanax (.5 mg every other day)

I get the same symptom, I think it's a pretty common anxiety thing or so I've been told

Omg, that boat thing drives me crazy. Cars can make me anxious and when I get out it's like I am stood on a raft. I hate it, but been getting it for over 10 years along with dizziness at times of extreme stress so figured it's one of the weirder symptoms of anxiety.

Dizziness is my biggest problem.
I constantly feel like I am leaning to one side or swaying.
It really puts me on edge.
I am terrified I am going to fall over and find myself holding on to things all the time or leaning on things.
It is really hard to believe anxiety can do this.:ohmy:
