Slight Dizziness

TMo,

Dizziness is a common symptom of anxiety. Of course, it is also just a thing that everyone experiences from time to time...whether due BP fluctuations, neck tension, congestion/inner ear changes...or blood sugar and/or hydration levels....there are many benign causes for having a brief dizzy spell. Of course, those of us with anxiety tend to focus in on any strange sensation and start to worry about it, and that only leads to our anxiety increasing, and likely more symptoms...a frustrating cycle!

Most likely this will just be a passing issue, but if you continue to have this symptom...the use of breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises should help.

Peace and progress!

Hi

Glad to hear you feeling better today.

Hibee

I’ve had varying degrees of dizziness for much of my life. In fact as a young kid I got dizzy a lot and after some tests they figured it was something in my inner ear. While I think that may still be true as an adult, my anxiety definitely can make me feel dizzy, even suddenly and without much warning. However it’s not enough to make me fall so I just try to sigh and laugh it off. I’ve also heard people with sensitive stomachs / GI tracts can get dizzy and maybe that could be part of my problem on occasion too. Basically I’m just sensitive to a lot of things!

Just tossing out my thoughts so you don’t feel like you’re the only one with dizziness as it can be uncomfortable.
