Dizziness

[Cyber-stan88]

Hi, I suffer from GAD and even tho it seems crippling most days I fight against in and refuse to let it win. Getting through each day seems like a massive battle. The one thing I really really struggle with is dizziness. Does anyone else suffer with this and do you have any tips. At times I literally feel like I’m about to fall over.

Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum. Had a friend on another forum once who seemed to be dizzy all the time. I convinced her to have tests done. Not that I am telling you the same. My point with her was to prove to her there was nothing seriously wrong with her. It was just her anxiety. She had loads of tests done and all were negative. As I knew they would be. Seemed like the second she found out it was just her anxiety it stopped. No more feeling dizzy every day of the week. She simply stopped even thinking about that side of things. You may be feeling that way a lot now. That does not mean it will always be that way. Some aspects of our anxiety simply stop. I have no idea what makes you dizzy. When you feel dizzy the most. Could be a rush of blood to the head. In certain situations. Comes across as making you feel dizzy. Try and keep track of when you feel dizzy the most. From there we can work on what you think causes it. What exactly you were doing when it came on. Understanding it all might make it go away.

Welcome. I too have GAD and even with medications I found myself barely able to walk because of dizziness one morning. I was sure it might be something major even though I don't have health anxiety. My wife helped me go to the doctor that day who was sure it was just anxiety. By the afternoon I was walking fine and thankfully that extreme dizziness has never returned anywhere near that severity. Just thought I'd reinforce that your dizziness easily could just be anxiety related.
