constant faint feeling

[stephanxiety]

so everyday i constantly feel faint, i am lightheaded and dizzy, its always when im standing, it feels like my eyesight goes very overexposed, my head feels funny like a rush feeling and emptiness feeling, and i sometimes get nauseous too. When im sitting down its not as bad but when im standing, the whole time no matter what until i sit down i feel like im going to faint. Anyone else felt like this constantly and know how to get rid of it or what it is?

Hiya. I occasionally get dizzy if I’ve been sitting down and stand up quickly, and sometimes anxiety when really high can make me feel like that too. I guess there can be many different reasons why this is happening to you. Pay a visit to your dr or nurse to get it checked out, it would help how you feel to be reassured 😊

Hope you feel better soon

Hi Stephanxiety,

I get it all the time and have it that bad I can't go to work as I feel like I'm going to faint. My head feels weird like it's going to switch off if that makes sense? I have been living with this on and off for 4years now with no relief. I haven't been able to work for 7months now due to this constant lightheadedness. I have to lay down all the time. It seems to come and go now. I went to a physio to see if it was vertigo and get some treatment but she massaged my neck and shoulders which helped a lot. But unfortunately it's back again. I get eye strain as well which causes weird head feelings too. I hope you get some relief soon it's horrible and it's a common symptom of anxiety. Go to your doctor to get checked to make sure it's not a medical problem.

I have had this on & off for 4 years. Currently, sitting at work experiencing head pressure & heavy eyes. Head symptoms seem to be my main issue & they change in intensity from headaches, off balance/walking on a boat, head pressure, heavy eyes, brain fog. I have never actually fallen but I feel as if I might, it's a frustrating feeling. It does impact quality of life because even if I don't wake up feeling that way, I think about it & wonder when will it start for the day...thus beginning my daily vicious cycle & battle with Anxiety. I feel best when I'm laying down or driving. That's when I'm most relaxed. The best way to get over it would be to stop thinking about it & stop worrying that it is something bigger.... and unfortunately, that is the hard part.

I've been having similar issues for the past few months. I think it started last year after I had a vertigo episode. I haven't felt the same since then. I've had some medical checks done, and I'm healthy so it's probably just anxiety.

Have you checked with the doctor?

yes been told its just anxiety but find it hard to believe
