Dizziness?

Hi,
Do any of you experience extreme dizziness and if so what can you do to help alleviate it?
Thank you all for your support.

Thank you Bambola,
I am asking on behalf of my sister, although I have anxiety issues as well. She is going through a really bad time right now and it seems that her new symptom is dizziness. I guess that's a symptom of anxiety too .. along with everything else. I guess we are lucky that we are in Canada so we don't get billed when we see a doctor. Thank God for that, eh?

Well I am definitely intrested =)

Here you go...not a link, just instructions for my best go-to breathing exercise.:)


The Divided Breath:

Think of your lungs as having 3 equal parts: the top third, middle third, and bottom third. In one continuous breath, but divided into 3 parts, fill first the bottom and pause, then fill the middle/pause, and finally the fill the top third and hold if possible for a second or two. Exhale in the same manner, but reverse. Let out the top, then the middle, then the bottom third of lungs-remember to pause slightly after each part-finally pushing all the air out of the bottom third of your lungs to complete the cycle. Don't worry if you can't manage the whole cycle at first, it will get easier. The pauses will get more controlled, and you may be able to hold the breath for 3-5 seconds before the exhale, eventually.

This will prevent rapid/shallow breathing (hyperventilation) and put you in control of your breathing again, until your anxiety levels drop, and it becomes normal/automatic again:)

This has helped me through a lot of episodes of dizziness. Practicing these techniques should really help.
