Is this anxiety?

[jnrmommy]

Hello,

I get extremely dizziness which then leads me to panic. I have been to ENT who ordered and MRI. I am waiting to have that done. Could anxiety cause debilitating vertigo? Also symptoms seem to be exacerbated around monthly cycle. Has anyone had this?

Hi there. I get a little lightheaded when I'm in fear/panic mode. It's nothing too bad, though. Do you do a lot of heavy breathing when you're anxious? The extra oxygen from hyperventilation can definitely do it.
Just a thought. :)

I do my breathing exercises. I cannot understand why I am getting dizzy. The dizziness will come out of nowhere. I can be watching TV and the room just starts to spin. I went to ENT and will have an MRI, but it is very scary and debilitating. I cannot imagine that anxiety causes the extreme vertigo, as the panic comes after I experience the dizziness. Thanks.
