Vertigo type sensations

[devon_guy]

I'm sat here at work and all of a sudden the room seemed to spin for a few seconds which was quite scary and now it feels like my head inside is spinning every so often for a 2nd or two. I'm sorry its not explained very well but its difficult to try and put it into words. The room isnt spinning it feels like something in my head is.
What I want to know is if its an anxiety symptom or a vertigo type thing? Has anyone else suffered with it at all?

Many thanks

Tim

Hi Tim,
I get that feeling every so often too, and yes it is a definate anxiety symptom, I have learnt to ignore it now and it soon passes.
take care

I have that too - kind of like a head rush and you feel all woozy for a few seconds then it goes.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hi

Came accross this thread while looking for some reasurrance on a new symptom of balance problems. The last few days have been 100mph dealing with a neigbour dispute, my dad been ill, work problems. Ironically I felt my head spinning when trying to deal with these issues but it took my mind off all my other symptoms. Sadly a new symptom has crept in the last few days. When I walk quickly between rooms I sometimes knock my sholder on the door frame on numerous occasions. I feel as if I am mildly drunk. Then last night I woke up on the sofa after falling asleep in front of the box and I could not walk straight. I went to bed and laid there wondering why I was feeling like this, as with anxiety I wound myself up and did not want to get up just in case the symptom was still there. When I eventually did I still felt light headed and slightly off balance.

I assume this is anxiety even though I had just woke up and did not feel anxious?

Can anyone relate to this?

Regards

Hi there,

I get this feeling too. It is so scary at the time as I am convinced it is something life threatening.

Hope you are okay now.

Hi everyone I am new to this site. I too have this weird spinning sensation especially when I am in a crowd of people. When I start to panic it seems as the whole room just starts going in a circle and almost as though everything kind of repeats itself for a second. It's very scary and makes me lose my balance. Just wondering if other people have this experience. Thanks!

I get this vertigo alot now, every time i go to bed and try to sleep.
My anxiety level is really high and it feel like i am falling even though i am in bed.

I last for some second only but can come 2-3 times in the evening.
When i get this it also feels like i loose all air in my lungs. Very frightening.

My doctor and the neurolog i been seing saying it is all anxiety reaction.

Hi there, I was in bed one Saturday morning 18 months ago ( I had a breakdown 3 years ago) and woke up in a really bad state. I was very dizzy. It was like something in my head was going round and round. My balance had gone and I didnt know which way was up. It was by far my worst experience of dizziness I have ever had and I am turned 50 now. I was terrified and thought I was having a stroke or something. I cried all weekend after that. My doctor said it was positional vertigo. Needless to say I was nervous about going to bed the next night but I was ok. Scared but ok. Since then, I have had it in a mild fashion and as Dazo said above, I get it when I am trying to get to sleep. I get these waves of dizziness and my balance going. Sometimes it takes a while to get to sleep with it. I have elevated the head of my bed so that it stops the bad dizziness - it was suggested to me. And it has helped. But only 2 weeks ago, the bad dizziness that happened 18 months ago came back!! Thankfully not as bad. And it was gone in about 20 seconds. But it has left me only too aware that my bed is not the safest place after all and it had been for all my life leading up to when I was seriously dizzy that day. The anxiety made it worse too. It seemed to last 30 years but it can only have been 30 seconds if I am honest. So yes I know just how this feels too. An absolute nightmare.
