Dizziness

I've always known the connection between anxiety and dizziness..having had anxiety my entire 41 years.....but I have to say it's never been one of my vast array of symptoms....until now. It's so confusing trying to figure out which came first. I really notice it most when I'm still and doing nothing. I need new glasses I know that ..... and I've had sinus headache lately with the weather changes. I avoid going to the doctor because of whote coat...I hate this junk I'm just venting and I have a lot on me right now with finaces and two driving teenagers and whatnot. Thanks for reading....anyone else have dizziness? I actually feel better when i'm up moving around because movement is expected if that makes any sense...

Dizziness is definitely on my list of symptoms. Not an "all the time" thing for me, but definitely have felt it quite often. You're not a lone!

Sounds very understandable though, with everything you have going on. Hang in there!

That's something I've been going through lately and as you stated its more so when I sitting doing nothing because when I'm fine and moving I seem to be okay. This is pretty new for me as well with the dizziness /swimming head i didn't get this too often. In addtion to stress I'm sure in need more glasses because this perscription has been up. More so i think its stress and all the other things added to my anxiety. When I'm calm i seem to be just fine and it doesn't bother me as much but it is a known symptom to what you are going through. Try not to sit still as much if you can avoid it and positive thinking to retract all of those negative thougths that seem to get exhausting.

Dizziness is usually my trigger sign. If I notice myself having it, more things tend to follow.

My personal cure for that is to step back (if I can). Dizziness (for me) typically is more mental than biological. I'm usually obsessing over something, and next thing I notice my world is spinning. I try to look more objectively at it ("you're feeling that dizzy thing again...oh well, it'll pass. Think about something better"). Doesn't always work, but nothing does with anxiety.
