dizziness/light headed feeling

[Tink]

Hello

Did not have a very good day today. I have started feeling dizzy more often but today at work was sat talking to work collegaues and all of a sudden went really hot, dizzy, my eyes were blurry and could not focus. I was also shaking and felt like my insides were shaking. even now writing this I am getting a weird head rush and feeling like i am going to pass out.

Is this all normal for anxiety? feel like I have some different symptom all the time and its driving me crazy .

If anyone feels like this how do you cope with this?

Hi hun,I get things like that too when I'm anxious or stresed.. I sometimes get accomanied by a weird buzzing sensation in my head and loud pulsing.

I get different symptoms in different states of anxiety so I dunno what's real or not anymore. :'(

If I get dizzy or that I tend to try and just stand still or sit for a sec and try focus my eyes on one solid object..moving objects when you're dizzy as you prob know just adds to the panic and confusion. xxx

Thanks the reply wee mee. I have had an mri scan done today for numbness in face/arms/legs was ref'd for that ages ago. So hoepfully if comes back clear can then start to get a grip of everything. Also really keen to get CBT started just waiting for it to start!!

I have always been known to go dizzy when not eaten for a while and would use to eat/drink something sugary and then be on my way but now everything is much worse and when go dizzy it scares me. But is same with every anxiety symptom I have.

Hope u doing ok xxx

hey tink,please dont worry, i hav had my anxiety for 30yrs and those symptoms you explained i hav had wiv it for 30yrs and i am still here to tel the tale i noticed wen i do get those symptoms i am normally very tensed within my body and holding myself rigid, so i just relax the best i can and the symptom seems to go as quick as it came, you r probably stressing over the mri which is understandable,plz try and stay calm, easier sed than dun i know, it will pass soon, keep in touch.x

cheers hampton girl. What you have said is exactly what happens. It happened tonight and was really tense like waiting for it to happen! I also have bad sinus which not really helping on the dizzy front.

Hope u r doing ok xxx

Oh sinuses are a nightmare!

I get earache alot with them and I dunno how but ears affect balance so when these go...I justend up on the floor lol.

I hope you are feeling a little better hun x
