Hi Pudding, sorry to hear about your husband.
I aim to go with the rational approach to new symptoms by first asking myself, 'what's new?'. In your case, you've recently lost your husband - which is as high as it gets on the stress scale - but I am also interested with new medication as that can also cause dizziness. See your GP or speak to your pharmacist about this as it may just be a case of adjusting your dose? Also, make sure that you're not taking anything herbal (even teas) without checking if there are interactions with any medication you take..
Regards you having to do life without your husband? I wish I had an answer for you lovely but I don't have this particular experience and the death of a spouse is different to that of a parent - which is what I can identify with. All I can say is that I talk to my parents every day, and they're both long since deceased. It helps me. If you are a sociable person, maybe let some time pass and think about joining some groups to keep your mind occupied? My mum coped with the loss of my dad by throwing herself into DIY projects and doing a lot of walking. She walked her way into needing new hips lol, but that's what she needed to do to cope. You'll find a way to cope too but for now you need to sort out your dizziness issue. One step at a time, right? X
