Lightheaded

[Alwayshere]

Does anyone ever feel lightheaded or have fuzzy thinking when feeling anxious? The last couple of weeks I have noticed an increase in this. I feel like it comes out of nowhere but sometimes I don’t think I realize how anxious/stressed I really am. I also noticed the more i think about it when it’s happening the worse it gets. Any advice on how to make it go away or to calm yourself when this happens?

Yes I get this when I get severely panicky. I try to take deep breaths. Inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds and release as long as possible and repeat. It might take a few minutes straight of doing this to see a difference. I believe when this happens to me it’s my bodies way of trying to shut down to protect me from whatever the anxious stimulus is. Also, doing crafts, puzzles, etc., is very helpful in fighting this. But with anxiety you got to find the root of the problem or else it’s never going to get better. All these techniques work in training your body and treating the symptoms but doesn’t get rid of why you’re actually having anxiety. Try therapy. I find it to be pretty helpful.

How long does this last for you? It seems to last for a couple days for me.

Depends how back the panic is. I had anxiety like this for 4 months straight one time. Everyone is different.

I have a lot of dizziness. Went a couple weeks here while back with very low anxiety and no dizziness but now it's back. The dizziness drives me crazy! It gets my mind shifted into overdrive and spirals out of control if I don't catch it. I've dealt with this so long, over 20 yrs. It changes up too. Keeps you on ur toes!

How do you know it’s just anxiety? Mine only seems to come on when I think about it but worry it could be something else...

I had it for a month straight. It went away for 2 weeks then I got it again this morning. I'm currently laying down and doing some deep breathing and relaxation. Slowly starting to feel better. It Came out of nowhere too- I thought things were going well. But I know good days are possible so it's not making me as panicky as it used to.

Glad I’m not the only one going through this! Still makes me scared though and it’s not fun.

I do this frequently. every single time it hits I try to think of what I just had on my mind. Sure enough it's always something that causes anxiety. for me I also noticed that it comes along when I haven't eaten very much and I have anxiety. Then I hold my hand out and if my hand is not steady I realized anxiety has taken over

I get lightheaded most of the time as well, especially on the pic of my anxiety. I sit down, tell myself its only the dam anxiety and most of the time it goes away quickly. Strangely, I have that feeling between afternoon, like 1 pm until early in the night hours, around 6-7pm.

Its really annoying and sometimes scary feeling, but after several doctor check I was assured its just an anxiety and that I need to live with it.

Sometimes I can just get busy and try not to think about it and I'll go an HR or so and notice it has left. So I know it's anxiety related. I've had all sorts of tests, all comes back good. Anxiety can b very cruel..i haven't went a single day without feeling it in one form or another in the last yr.

I haven’t been to the doctors yet for it but I’ve noticed it only comes on when I really start to think about it if that makes sense.

Just said the same thing to m husband last week. I spent a weak highly anxious all day and realized I was lightheaded all of the time. felt like walking on a boat.

I'm another one who sometimes gets lightheaded when anxious. I have felt like I was about to pass out on quite a few occasions as well. I've had this on and off for years. For me it helps to lie down or sit with my head between my legs and just take some nice deep breaths.

Have you check this with the doctor? I have the same feeling for over a year now.

for me the more time I have on my hands the worse my anxiety gets. The physical symptoms heighten to when I’m stuck in the house like this. **** I get dizzy, my mouth taste goofy, the eye sight gets fuzzy, my scalp tingles. But as soon as I get busy it all starts to get more manageable.

I am glad you post this, I am the same, EXACTLY, even the scalp and mouth thing. Wow

No I've never felt the need to be honest. I can link it to anxiety and it does go away with some simple measures so it's not something that worries me.
