For a few months now I have been feeling odd, I dont really know how to describe it. I feel like I might fall over or faint, but I'm not dizzy, and this happens even when im sitting down sometimes. I kinda feel like I'm swaying, but I dont think I am actually moving. I have never actually fainted.

I went to the E.R. and they said tested me for anemia and diabetes, I was fine, and they said that it was anxiety. A few weeks after that I got some blood work done (CBC, thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, all the yearly check up things) and they were fine. They haven't found anything really wrong, but even so, I've had 2 panic attacks since this feeling has started. I cant help but wonder if there is some underlying problem, and worrying about that causes the panic attacks.

If anyone has the feeling I described it would really help to hear from you. Knowing I'm not alone helps me to tell myself it's just anxiety and not something else. Thank you.

I’ve had it for sure and I think it’s an anxiety symptom. I thinkif it were a serious issue it would affect your gait and balance and not just manifest as a passing symptom.

Had this for a few weeks and was worried. It has passed now once i started to believe it was anxiety. Im sure it will pass for you.
