Lightheadedness

[wbryant0190]

I am having severe anxiety and lightheadedness I am trying nor to fight it. So hard

[Nicki1984]

Accept it's there and breathe through it. I find lying down with legs up helpful when I feel like this. Do whatever you can to relax and take care of yourself x

[wbryant0190 in reply to Nicki1984]

Thank you

I have been feeling the same way . And then my heart starts to race and my plams get sweaty.

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

It can be so bad. I feel like it is to much sometimes. It feels like I'm going to faint or pass out. The hardest part is when I'm at work and it happens

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I understand. Have you just felt a wave all of a sudden ? Like you have to sit down and when you do everything seems to be moving or unreal ?

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

Yes, that is what just happened

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

Do you almost get like maybe a slight headache or a bit of pressure of some sort?

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

Most of the time it's just like I'm floating or in a unreal place like I want to scream for help but I know that now I will not die from this so I hold it all in. I also get so weak when this happens.

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

Same here . Except now I'm worried I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain or something. And it scares me .

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

I thought the same thing for years!

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

I even sleep with a cpap machine and it's terrible lol

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

And it's like I get really sleepy as well . And a Shaky type feeling .

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

I do the same. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? How is your health other than anxiety?

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I just turned 30 on the 5th . According to my doctors I'm healthy. I've had blood test , stool samples, Ct scans of my head and abdomen oh and ekgs before in the er . I worried this feeling won't go away.

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

I have also been tested for many things many times I have been to the hospital many times and each time they tell me that I'm healthy and nothing is wrong I'm very athletic I eat healthy and exercise but I'm plagued with anxiety

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

I have worked at the same job now for 18 years. I am a single dad and I have to keep going my little boy is 10 years old he depends on me I cannot let this stop me from being the best dad I can be I have to keep going

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I understand. I have a four year old daughter as well . Sometimes I just cry and cry because of this .

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

I am very sorry that you're going through this

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I'm sorry for you too . This is awful. I even feel like I'm very light right now .

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

The only thing I can tell you right now is don't fight it it will pass

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I'm trying not to . After you feel that wave do you feel off balance like for almost the whole day ?

[wbryant0190 in reply to JoMarie5]

Yes,

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

I'm fault for many years that I was the only one that felt like this

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

Sorry autocorrect

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

I wish I could take it away from you

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

Any better?

[wbryant0190 in reply to wbryant0190]

I will pray for you

[JoMarie5 in reply to wbryant0190]

I'm starting to feel a little better. I still have that slightly off-balance feeling a little bit but I'm working through it like my head is heavy or something . Alao if I Focus on my breathing it's like if I'm not being attention to it I breathe right but if I start to be attention to it to that's when I feel like I don't breathe right.
