Hi everyone,
I have been having lightheadedness and dizziness for the past few days and it seems to be getting worse. I noticed it a few nights ago while watching a movie, its like the room was sorta spinning just for a second, and it freaked me out. I've noticed it more and more the past few days but I know I'm also worrying about it alot. I don't know if its a serious problem or just anxiety. I'm guessing it's anxiety since its such a common symptom but it really has me scared. Has anyone else had anxiety related dizziness or lightheadedness? It kinda feels like the room is spinning just slighlty, like my head is really heavy and I feel very tired. I also feel like my eyes cant quite focus. I know I've been stressed out lately, and just got over a bad case of the flu so maybe its an ear infection or something (I know ear problems can make you dizzy). I'm really getting scared about it, I've done all the googling (I know I shouldn't) and even though google says it's not usually a serious problem I'm still having thoughts of "what if this never gets better?" and "what if this keeps getting worse?" and things like that.
This feeling is similar to having had a drink or being on medicine that makes you kinda floaty/woozy. Can that really be just anxiety?
I've had all sorts of other anxiety symptoms before (difficulty swallowing, muscle twitches, stomach aches, frequent urination, short of breath) but this one is a new one for me. Why does anxiety always introduce new symptoms? I feel like once I finally accept one symptom as anxiety, a new one pops up.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just hoping someone can share their story and tell me if their symptoms are similar.
Thanks!
