I've done lots of posts on here about how I've struggled with these feelings a few months after I gave birth last year and had them ever since.
I've had a CT scan, and an appointment at the balance clinic last Thursday where they did lots of different tests, but they can't seem to find anything wrong.
Maybe it's all anxiety? Which sparked up from going through childbirth?
My question is, can anyone relate?
Does anyone have these 24/7 unbalanced and swaying feelings.?
When they stand, they feel like they will fall? And have sudden dropping sensations?

I had a miscarriage in February and get this feeling frequently. It’s like a dizzy type feeling. Not permanent but it’s regular. My doc is adement it’s anxiety. I had an echo Friday and it was normal. My next step is counseling and supplements and wholistic approach and if that doesn’t work, I’m going to try meds.
What I’ve found is the more I focus on the feeling the more horrifying & intense the feelings get. It is hard to not think there’s something else going on but after several doctors visits and reading a lot on here, I believe anxiety for some people just is very physical instead of mental/emotional.
I’ve always avoided expressing my feelings. Like I had a miscarriage and didn’t even cry (what is wrong with me!?). My heart was broken I just didn’t react. I react more NOW some months later, than I did when it happened. Anyhow, I think this is our body’s way of being like yo, take care of me, etc.
It sounds like you and I are similar in the sense that we can’t identify with anxiety because we aren’t “anxious” but our bodies are absorbing the stress we aren’t dealing with and we are paying a terrifying price.
I hope you’re able to work through this...honestly I’d try meds. Even if you do some supplements and wholistic stuff first. Like magnesium, St. John’s, etc. You could find a person who specializes in wholistic treatment in your area and try them out!!!
Ive had these badly the last few weeks.everyday.its horrible.as well as racing heart,skipped beats and general feeling anxious as hell.its awful.
Mine started really badly after i had my daughter too.never been the same since.but it is anxiety and its so good to know there are other people who suffer like we do x
Glad I’m not alone with this! I get it everyday and I also get a feeling of dropping every now and then, although mine isn’t childbirth related as I haven’t had any children, it’s worth contacting your GP about it just to be on the safe side. I hope you feel better soon! ☺️
Hi 👋 yes I get that unbalanced feeling often along with dizziness and lightheaded. I literally feel like I will fall or pass out. I have anxiety since the end of 2016 I hate especially since I have a 5 year old little girl who needs me st my 100 percent best it is rough. But when o stand or even sometimes sitting I get that feeling it’s horrible. Are you on any medication?
It's the worst, I feel loke a let down to my son because I can't go out and do all the things I'd like to do with him.
Sometimes I have myself convinced I have something really wrong with me, but again it's probably just the anxiety taking over. I've had a CT scan and had tests at the balance clinic, but all clear.
I've taken sertraline but it made me feel worse so I came off of it.
I think it's best i tackle this without medication, the GPs always just want to shove you on anti-depressants and that be the answer.
I have this fearin my head that I will faint, even though I never do, it's that fear of losing control I can't seem to get rid of. I think that's the biggest part of my anxiety.
Are you on an any medication? Or been to see an ENT or anything?
It happens to me all the time it last up to months and it's like a everyday feeling , it all happened when I gave birth to my daughter 2 years almost 3 it sucks have had all kinds of test and everything seems normal they always tell me I'm fine that everything came out good but I'm so tired of feeling like this I don't even think it's anxiety
