Hi, I get this too and have done for a very long time, I also get it when I am standing as well. I find that if I do something physical to take my mind off it or something mental which requires a lot of concentration then I forget about it. Its awful though I know that.

do you find the more relaxed you are, the more anxious you get???

Hi, It comes and goes with me, I can be relaxed and fine and I can also be relaxed and in a second feel anxious and panicky for no reason whatsoever.

I can take my mind off it but then when I'm not doing something it's still there, it's accompanying an ache in my neck and shoulders too which is poo.
I don't really get it as much sitting but I do get it standing and walking, it's more of an off balance feeling for me, it's like my legs aren't moving how I want and my head is bobbing, I feel like I'm walking from side to side even though most of the time I'm walking fine.

My dizzy spells seem to be getting worse at will come on whenever. Sometimes they are so bad I feel like I am going to fall over or have a black out . They are really scaring me to be honest, but I guess it's anxiety .

Hi, Yes, it does that, its especially bad for me in queues of people and if I get worried before doing like a simple task like checkouts and post office queue.

Is it actual room spinning or is it feeling dizzy like off balance?
Do you have it 24/7?
I do.
Are there like headaches or aches or anything accompanying it? x

Similar for me.. I have bad tension in my neck and shoulders. I find if I overstretch it can bring on a fleeting lightheaded feeling, which I hate. I saw a physio and have a shoulder impingement and very tight neck muscles. She said the dizzies could be coming from that.
