DIZZINESS! muscle tension and off balance

[anneavo]

Hi, I've been feeling pretty dizzy for the past months and i am trying to figure out why.

I do suffer from low blood pressure but sometimes the dizziness feels more like an off balance issue.

I have a really tight neck and shoulders, my whole body is really tight actually. Can the dizziness be caused by bad muscle tension?

does anybody have the same issue?

I hope you all have a great day.

dizziness and muscle tension is most likely due to anxiety. Very common symptoms.

work on relaxation, mindfulness etc

Hi do you get pins and needles?

[anneavo in reply to Hidden]

Yes i do, I also get some numbness in my hand.

anneavo, my neck and shoulder muscles are so incredibly tight that I have to remind myself to relax my shoulders. I have a tendency to bring them up to my ears when stressed. It can throw your balance off and make you feel lightheaded. Enjoy your day as well!

I know sometimes i find myself squeezing my shoulders like you do when its really cold.

I have to stop because i feel dizzy and tight every single day.

I am actually going to the gym tonight for the first time so wish me luck.

anneavo, hope it went well and you didn't overdo. Enjoy your evening.

Hi, I suffer exactly the same, tension and aching pain in neck and shoulders. I am sure this is what causes me to feel dizzy/unbalanced ...also a bit nauseous. You are not alone, it's horrible.

I've posted a few times. I've mentioned how all my anxiety and panic attacks started. Is coming across of this and reading everybody stuff in the beginning I thought I was the only one so I kept it all to myself but like I said reading that other people have gone through this and are going through the exact same stuff I do makes me feel not alone
