Hi Anxious,

You get dizzy because you are an anxious elephant. And hyperventilation is a symptom of anxiety like dizziness is. But most people do not get all the anxiety symptoms and you don't have to hyperventilate to be dizzy . I do not get dizziness (not entirely correct, I did when I first went on Seroxat but only for 3 days) but I have hyperventilated. And I know which I would prefer. Hyperventilation is a shocking experience it feels like you are being suffocated. I have had many anxiety symptoms over the years but it is easily the most distressing one I have encountered. So Anxious be thankful for small mercies.

All the best

John
