I have had a balance problem for a few weeks now and l suffered anxiety 5 years ago. Saw gp she said it was anxiety. My legs feel like jelly and find sitting still troublesome. Can anyone relate to this

Welcome Cat. Yes, I can relate and understand what you're going through. Anxiety can cause the off balance feeling and "jelly leg" feeling. Not being able to sit still can also be a result of feeling uptight and anxious. If you haven't already, you might want to check the "Resources" section of this site for some excellent cooing techniques. They can really be helpful. Hope you feel better. Keep us posted.

Yes this is a common symptom of anxiety so you need to work at lowering your anxiety through self help if you have a look at our resources thread on the first page you will find lots of useful links.

Thank you for your advice it is so welcome. I suffered 20 years of agoraphobia but with help l recovered. You tend to forget forget the coping things. Gradually retraining my thoughts but God it's hard work. I do realise stress has been building up the past months and my final straw was going very dizzy at the dentist which l expect was the final straw and BANG here l am again
Will get there with acceptance.

Hi CL and welcome!

Dizziness if one of my most prominent symptoms!

I find that breathing techniques almost always bring quick relief. This can be a result of anxious breathing (taking rapid shallow breats) that we are not even conscious of doing!

Here is the link for some great stress relieving exercises, including slow, deep breathing for help.:)
