Wondering if anyone experiences dizziness and nausea? When I feel even slightly off I have the worst anxiety or panic because I know I shouldn't be feeling this way. I was laying down got up to get a shower and it started.. I got the worlds quickest shower because I was afraid I was going to fall over. It's now been like 40 minutes and I still feel the same way. Super dizzy. I'm freaking out! Not to mention it's almost 3am and of course I can't sleep..

When this happens , try to tell your mind this is just anxiety.. it will pass. Do some breathing exercises and try some mindful meditations.
When i had dizziness , instead of running from it i would say this is just anxiety this is just anxiety in my head and it would pass.
Ginger tea for nausea xx

good luck x😊

Hi LMA,

It sounds like you got up quickly from laying down...had a normal moment of dizziness (it's fairly common to have a drop in BP upon standing) which then caused the worry to start.

When we experience a symptom, we go on high alert, attaching fearful thoughts to how we are feeling. ..perpetuating the anxiety=more symptoms=increased anxiety cycle.

Along with Gilly's good advice...also review the Super Scanner link from our Resources. ..it will reassure you. smile

Thanks.. this morning when I woke up I still felt dizzy kind of scary! Maybe it's hormones .. don't really know because I d had every test possible (haha) and doctors say I'm fine. Hopefully I'm just getting ahead of myself when I think something is really wrong! Now I'm just really tired.. maybe hormones.. anxiety.. depression.. im sick right now with a nasty virus and I never get sick.. maybe it's from a bit of everything.. it's so scary though ):

LMA,

You have a virus? Well, there you go!

Congestion in the ears will cause equilibrium problems. Take your decongestants, drink plenty of fluid, and rest!

It will pass.smile
