I'm not having an anxiety attack or a panic attack but my head goes light and I feel really faint, can't breathe properly anyone else feel like this when they don't even feel anxious. Why do you I feel this way been to doctors and they've just blamed it on anxiety like always, very frustrating

Dizziness and breathless
Hi emily
I no what you mean a few months ago i was having a rough time due to anxiety, however i was not convinced thats what it was as i got that bad i drove myself to a and e i thought i was dying and did actually faint. Looking back now i wish i listened to the doctor. Im not saying yours is anxiety relatedbut youll be suprised at the slightest things that can trigger it. Xx
Seems to me your shallow breathing, its a form of tension, which will make you feel light headed, even though your not panicking, its a horrible feeling like you cant get enough air inn, and I your concentrating on trying to breath right it will make the light headedness worse, I do something that takes concentration like paint my nails or prep a.meal, then the feeling passes and you'll realise your breathing goes back to normal when you stop thinking about it.

Hi Emily. yes I get these feelings.feel lightheaded and off balance,especially when I go out walking or go into a supermarket,I don't feel anxious until this happens,but it scares me so much..its Anxiety,my GP says.I do believe hes right, its the chicken and the egg situation, we don't know what comes first, mayby we are anxious, but don't realise it ,until we get lightheaded,then mayby we get lightheaded,and that makes us anxious,but believe me I have this for 25 years, and it IS Anxiety related..Horrible way to be living,but for me,anyway,I don't know what it feels like to live without Anxiety..let me know how your getting on...love Miarose xxxx
