Very bad dizzy spell for about 5 seconds what could It be?

I've had these fleeting bouts of dizziness...

...I think everyone has, but we just focus in on them and our anxiety attaches fear to any anomoly we experience.

Don't let it derail you...use your skills to keep your focus on the positive aspects of your recovery.😊

I know....but I am willing to bet if you work your coping skills and don't focus on it, you won't have any recurrence!

Yeah, it could have been a short burst of vertigo from congestion in your ears...or a low blood sugar thing, or even dehydration....

Make sure and eat something and drink plenty of water...do your breathing exercises in case it was anxious breathing related...

It could be from any number of benign causes. The important thing is not to let it trigger you into a cycle of more anxiety and symptoms!

S.C.

If you anticipate it, then you are increasing that chance...

...so stay positive and use reassuring mantras that it will NOT!

Don't be afraid...our bodies do all kinds of out of the ordinary things...however, it doesn't mean something is necessarily wrong....just acting temporarily different.

Hi Dog
When I started my 1st therapy with my p doc she gave me some sleeping tablets, i took half and I went to sleep..the following day at work I had the very same thing u experienced , mine was even worse I sweat and everything was spinning , buzzing I just held on to my chair , but it never came back again as I even stopped taking the sleeping pills...
Don't think about it okay , just keep busy and do your coping skills
