I had surgery aboit 6 weeks ago. I have suffered with anxiety in the past and was free of it for 4 years of so . Had symptoms in between but not the same ones that stop you from living. Have had bloods and all is ok but one day I was making breakfast and nearly fainted. This triggered it I feel. I'm terrified of fainting and everytime I wake up I get spells or throughout the day even scared to stand in the shower so it sit but still got dizzy. It's debilitating can't do anything as I'm scared to faint because of how my body feels, I'm always dizzy! Can anxiety make you feel good bad? I'm back again where I never thought I'd be and my health anxiety is saying maybe it's your heart as the dr said my blood pressure os low but I've had low bp and never felt this faint. I want it gone. I want to go back to work. Just want the dizziness to stop. Maybe I'll get those heart test, been 5 yrs since the last.

See your doctor. Low blood pressure can make you feel dizzy and weak. It is treatable. I think a good check up will help reduce your anxiety, as well. Also, if you had surgery 6 weeks ago, you may not be fully recovered. I know from my own experiences with surgery that the incision does heal in about 6-8 weeks , however, it can take quite a bit longer to get your full stamina back. There are many surgeries that require 6 months for full strength to return; while others have a quicker recovery. Anyone who has surgery has been through a lot, so see your doctor, check your BP, tell him how you are feeling an try to be gentle with yourself.

I d9d all bloods ok just low bp and now the anxiety cycle has started

[b1b1b1]

Well, all blood tests can be OK, but you may still not have recovered your full stamina. Also, fix your low BP. Talk to your doctor or your surgeon.

I have. So many times. They say I'm healthy. Any tips in low bp?

[catmousefish]

Yes, get that checked out. It's serious.

[Contra21 in reply to catmousefish]

Serious? Enough to scare someone! I have done all bloods , another ultrasound drs say I'm ok. Low bp amd to eat more salt but anxiety is there.

[catmousefish in reply to Contra21]

Eat more salt....are you a super health food person? Then you'd probably have enough salt. My husband sometimes faints when he gets sick. It's scary.

[Contra21 in reply to catmousefish]

Why does he faint? I'm.adding salt to my water then got sufden dizziness amd am so anxious again I'm scared and I'm only 40

[catmousefish in reply to Contra21]

My husband has had fainting issues all his life, hypoglysemic, he is legally blind and was very premature when born. He doesn't realize when he's sick so when he gets cranky then I know something is the matter.

[Contra21 in reply to catmousefish]

He's lucky to have you.

[catmousefish in reply to Contra21]

I love him <3

since anxiety is fear based...we can spin out in all sorts of directions....fainting is not a good thing obviously...so it could be for a number of reasons, but the only way to know for sure is to get bloods done, and do what ever the dr. suggests.
