Hi sorry to hear your not feeling well. I always find that when I have a cold or feeling unwell, it always plays with my anxiety, I find I'm a lot more on edge when I'm feeling run down, and dizzy, feeling sick etc, my list could go on, I get so many symptoms. Try not to worry, rest and drink plenty

It happen to you too

[dizzychar in reply to Ivy_nguyen1]

Yes it has

Do you get cold sweat too and out of breath

[dizzychar in reply to Ivy_nguyen1]

Yes, it's probably due to you being stuffy

Hi, I suffer from anxiety and I have a cold too at the moment. It seems to be making the anxiety worse and I feel faint a lot as well but I think it's just that having a stuffy nose makes it harder to control your breathing when you're feeling anxious so that's what is causing the dizziness
