Have any of you experienced lightheadedness for several days after having constant anxiety?

Hey, Lizz. Yeah, I have, it's normal - brain chemicals running wild. Anxiety impacts the ability to focus. Has the anxiety subsided and what methods do you use to ground yourself when anxious?

Absolutely sometimes for days at a time it’s completely normal more sleep and relaxation helps a bunch

I’m light-headed when I’m not aware of anxiety. Be aware of your breathing at all times. When I get light-headed I’ve been breathing shallow. Stop. Close your eyes if you want. 3 deep breaths in slowly and out slowly to the count of 3 in and blow out to the count of 3. Get oxygen in those red blood cells.
