Lightheaded

Hi all,

I was just wondering if being lightheaded is a symptom of anxiety. Also feeling nauseous. I probably feel both those at least two or three days a week. My dr tells me it’s an age thing. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same.

Lightheadedness is a well known symptom of anxiety and so is mild nausea. When you free yourself of anxiety these symptoms will pass. For the nausea buy a root of ginger, slice paper thin and put some in boiling water. Let it cool and sip it. It's a remedy half as old as time.

Hi lindarains4, I’m a 40+ female and yes I feel this way lots , especially the light headed ness , I too have wondered if it was my anxiety, medication or just my time of life ! Some days are worse than others .. it’s awful and quite debilitating. My way of dealing with it is telling myself it’s not life limiting and hopefully it will pass ..

Thank u I feel better already, knowing it’s normal!

Omg I went to the doc the other day and was so dizzy I thought I might pass out. That’s the first time I have felt that dizzy for that long in a long time.
