I went to bed that night and when I laid down the room was spinning which freaked me out. Anyway I went to sleep then the next day I wasn't dizzy exactly but my head felt kind of heavy and like I could fall at any moment even though I didn't , I'm still feeling on edge now. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
I think this is quite common with anxiety Cupcake. Our body receives a big hit of adrenaline when we panic as glassgirl says, its normal to experience dizziness during or afterwards. Allow yourself some time to relax, listening to soothing videos on YouTube is helpful I find. The ones with the sound of rainfall are particularly good.
