shopping for 2 hours

[miarose]

hi all.went shopping todaywith my husband to a big shopping centre,felt fine,although I did link my husband going in cause the place was packed with people,we seperated then,and I went into a womans shop looking for clothes,tried on a few outfits,but I noticed after about half hour,I started to feel funny,sort of whoozy,when I was walking,it wasan't constant ,but would come in waves,anyhow I carried on,didn't panic,but it kept getting worse,until eventually I knew Id had enough and I needed to sit down,can anyone relate to this,could this be anxiety,even though I didn't panic,needless to say it took the good out of my day,sorry for ranting on,but I really wasan't anxious, I just felt weak..has this happened to anyone else.??

Hey I can totally relate to this. Before xmas i tried to walk into a shop with my husband to buy just one item and I had to get out and go back to the car but we went again and I didn't let the fear of my anxiety get a grip and I made it around the shop and bought the item. Like you I had all the weird woozy feelings but if you ride the waves it passes. I can now make it into the town centre on my own and walk around a few shops. I think the trick is to take it slow and build up gradually. Don't be afraid of the waves just keep riding them love eve x

Hi..this happened to me today..went for a walk on the beach with hubby for a couple of hours too..was fine..then all of a sudden felt woozy..this happened a couple of times..luckily we were actually walking back to the car at the time so i knew I could let them pass without any further episodes..was relieved to get in the car and sit down. Like the other posts says ride them..xxxx

tnx for all your replies,I believe now it was anxiety,god its so annoying,and in answer to your question,Sukitot, no I didn't have chest pains,not even a racing heart,dats why I couldn't figure it out.but I guess anxiety comes in many forms.I just had the weak feeling, like I was going to fall on my face..hugs to you all.xx
