Question about dizziness...

[Timmypliskin]

I've seen on here that many people have dealt, or are dealing with various levels of dizziness, along with other issues...

I've been having a lot of dizziness over the last 6 months, and have been basically to all the doctors, ER, etc... sometimes go days or weeks without it, but gets very difficult, as I believe that's it's primary cause is anxiety, and it also increases my anxiety...

Any advice on dealing with it? Or any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Timmypliskin, sometimes the medication we are on for anxiety can

cause some dizziness from time to time. However, most of the time it

becomes a vicious cycle of fear begets fear. When we are fearful, our

breathing changes. When our breathing changes it can affect our oxygen

levels which in turn can make us feel lightheaded, dizzy or just not quite right.

Dehydration also plays a part in feeling this way as well. We need to be hydrated

in order to have enough blood volume in our system which in turn will allow it to

provide the oxygen we need.

Sometimes when we are anxious, without even knowing we hold our breath or

start shallow breathing. This can also make us feel dizzy or lightheaded.

So when it boils down to anxiety causing our issues, know that there are ways to

correct it that are worth a try. My best. x
