Hi Sue

The lightheadedness you describe is definitely one of Mr Anxities charms !
It is only a 'feeling' and this will pass if you can learn that it IS just a feeling and that it will do you no harm.

Ask yourself how many times you've felt this before & as you say you've never fainted yet.

Do try and relax and take good care of yourself and I'm sure things will improve.

Can't help with the pmt i'm afraid - I just get a pain in the neck when my wife has it ! LOL

Take care

Its just a feeling / sensation . If you've not fainted previosuly there is no evidence to suggest you are going to now ...

I hope you're eating properly with all the Dad stuff.
How is his rhythm now ?

Hi Sue,
Sorry you are having a bit of a bad time right now, but is it any wonder? anyone would be stressed right now, what with dad and everything, so sling in a bit of aniety, a bit of panic, pmt and hey, you wonder why you feel dizzy? It is just a symtom of anxiety, i've lived with it for 16 years and to date, have not fainted yet, and neither will you, take time, if you can, to pamper yourself, whatever makes you feel good, nice bath? watching a dvd? anything, you will be fine and you will feel better soon. take care. by the way, make sure you are eating properly.

Sue,

You will not faint hun - it's just the anxiety making you think you will. Try to distract yourself and I'm sure the fear will pass..

Hi Sue

It's the anxiety that's making you lightheaded I had it for weeks and never fainted.
It's probably all the stress coning out after your father's surgery which is only natural.
Glad to hear he's ok and coming home, he'll feel so much better at home.

Take care
