Anxiety Dizziness

Hello Everyone:

Does anyone have good advice on how to deal with Anxiety Dizziness? It my first time experiencing it and it's a major concern because it started at work. Now I am more concerned than ever of losing my job because I can't focus. Also, if this occurs on a regular basis is my health in major danger?

Yes!

I thought the dramamine/vertigo roll on (essentially aroma therapy)

Eucalyptus or peppermint!

Good luck...it will pass!

Thanks. Do you know if it is deadly if it happens on a regular basis?

in reply to jwhitleyjr

It can be extremely debilitating. My chest pain felt deadly.....high blood pressure because of the spins can be medically problematic.

Long term affects on health from prolonged exposure to extreme stress and anxiety can be devastating as well.

Sounds like self care is in order.

What do you do for yourself?

I have a therapist I am doing my best with CBT and Exposure Techniques. The issue is my intrusive thoughts and one I just can't shake. It is causing me suffering.

In the end may God Help me with this one. Health Anxiety is a trip.

Maybe have a blood pressure cuff on hand?

I wonder if the high blood pressure will trigger a heart attack. Sorry for sounding jaded.

Hello LulaBeth

I just wanted to say sorry if you found my post disturbing. My apologies.

in reply to jwhitleyjr

I did not! And what you feel is valid.

I was really worried about my health and if you need to be seen by a doctor, I consider this to be self care! Positive!

Get clarification, information, be empowered.

Great points. Plus I don't know if you have advice I know what my trigger is at work and this is odd. I have Schizotypal, a belief in odds things which leads to anxiety. At work we have a radio that plays Golden Oldies. I think something bad will happen to me in between songs. So this is ridiculous thought I created from hearing one song where a singer's screaming scared me. So I have made this thought a big deal.

Not weird....i have imposter syndrome! And ocd!

Maybe....play it out. All the way.

Song is almost done....it stops and....

what's the worst thing you imagine happening ?

Usually our minds are tricking us but not all the time....

Plus I was thinking about sending out a general post about Regretting moving to California. I feel like moving here has ruined my life and it has caused me to have Schizotypal and General Anxiety Disorder. I should have left back in 2015. I tried hard to make this a good experience. I loved the idea of moving somewhere to start a fresh life but it has been a huge mistake.

I am sorry about your Imposter Syndrome and OCD. How are you holding up?

in reply to jwhitleyjr

Covid has me mixed up and worked up,

Exasperating other issues! But here we are!

You know it's interesting my anxiety disorder has over shadowed COVID. I think its hurting me more than the virus. I am concerned about the virus situation. But it did not cause my disorder.
