Keep going dizzy!

[littlemissworry.x]

I keep getting dizzy spells and its scaring me so much! Feels like I'm going to collapse! Comes on all of a sudden and I get so anxious after. I'm so worried

[ankietyjoe]

Does it get worse if you look up or down?

[littlemissworry.x]

Yes it does

[ankietyjoe]

Muscle tension.

Look down until you feel dizzy then keep it there as long as you can. Same for looking up. It'll pass.

Why does it keep happening? It's so scary

[ankietyjoe]

Because you're tense... muscle tension.

It's not dangerous, just uncomfortable. The more you worry about it, the tenser you'll be. Looking up and down and making the dizziness happen relieves it the more you do it. I've had it dozens of times.

I'm thinking something sinister is happening, I have a young baby and I'm petrified of fainting

[ankietyjoe]

Stop focusing on it. It's just going to make it worse.

You're dizzy, it's not the end of the world.

This time last year I was coping with regular migraine auras that would leave me half blind for half an hour while working frontline customer service. They sucked, they terrified me, but I got through.

You can, too.

Thank you, it's just a horrible symptom! Hopefully it will pass and its nothing dangerous
