anxiety

I've never had seizures or fainted but know, without a doubt, that there are as many symptoms to anxiety/panic as there are stars in the sky. Please read the helpful tools at the beginning of this forum - they are worthwhile. You WILL get through this!

Hi dizzy128 and welcome!

I am sorry that you are currently dealing with this issue.:( I know that it is scary and confusing to go through.

What you are likely experiencing is the sensation of a near faint or seizure type episode. This is a pretty common concern with those suffering anxiety.

It is rarely actually occurs...but the feelings/fears of it happening can be very convincing!

The good news is that you have checked out well from a physical standpoint, so you can now focus on reducing the anxiety and symptoms.;)

Here are some exercises that should help. Practicing these relaxation skills and breathing techniques will go a long way in reducing your symptoms.

Hi dizzy128, it sure seems to be a common theme here. What did the neurologist say?
