New symptom

[FLA24]

When I lay down or sit down I feel dizzy and my body starts to feel like it’s swaying.I haven’t had this before I’m wondering if anyone else has this due to anxiety

I have this usually when standing or walking. Anxiety can mess with your vestibular system, so don’t be too frightened by it - it’s normal. It would be a good idea to get your ears checked if you can, just to rule out an inner ear problem.

Does anything help when you get it?

Trying to ignore it and calming down will make decrease. It’s the usual anxiety paradox - the thing that makes you anxious will subside if you can stop being anxious. If you’re NOT anxious and having balance type symptoms, an inner ear issue is more likely.
