Physiomobility affected with anxiety

I have beat all my anxiety symptoms ( nausea fatigue, gagging, not being able to eat, heart palpitations, panic attacks with shaking, peeing alot, hypnogogic jerks and dry eyes) except I can't beat this one. Just out of the blue I will get this feeling of what feels like a rush over my body and I'll feel like I'm floating or potentially dizzy but yet I don't pass out.I have to sit down somewhere if I can't sit I stop the feeling by deep breathing and distraction. In my mind I think whoa what was that and then within a minute or so it's gone. It's the weirdest feeling I have ever experienced. All other health venues that could cause this are normal,blood pressure is good, pulse is good, hydration is good, EKG is good etc. Then I have anxiety from this and feel like my equilibrium's off, like I'm standing still but yet I'm feel like I am wavering slightly back and forth and physically you can look at me and I'm not . I think my physio mobility is affected by anxiety because the part of the brain that controls my motor function is being overridden by my anxiety in the amygdala so I do understand why it happens but I just can't seem to get control of this one through any of my techniques. Does anyone experience anything like this or faint with anxiety? Can anyone relate to this and how do anyone else cope with this?

At least Derealisation and Depersonalisation is being recognised and talked about now. Years ago it was not and I could not get anyone to understand that awful feeling. Unreal, not in the present, a fading away sensation etc. Horrible, but at least many sufferers are describing it now. Good Luck!

Yes, I finally learnt about it from a local class tutor about 12 years ago. It was such a relief that somebody could teach about it and listen to you. Anxiety brings along so many weird symptoms and group sharing does help. I don't think GPs or Therapists help much. Yes, you can be prescribed the meds but it is from other sufferers who can really talk about their experiences that I seem to find most helpful. There are some really good forums online where people open up. Good Luck.
