i have anxiety but when i go up on a hill that is sloped from back to front i seem to feel very uneasy and unbalanced then comes fear and then the anxiety kicks in. I hate the feeling. I played golf the other day and there was a hole like that and i got that feeling and felt shitty. I don't know what to do for this anxiety the symptoms are mostly head symptoms i tried a xanex it 25mg small dose and it seemed to ease the head symptoms however i still feel a little nervous . I am also on thyroid meds which might be adding to it. Like to hear from some people and their thoughts thanks a lot. Steve

When I first started experiencing anxiety issues, I was put on thyroid medication for hypothyroidism. after taking the medication for a few days I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin! The drs. told me it wasn't the medication, but I know that it was because I didn't feel like that until I was taking that medication. Try to tell yourself that you are safe and remember that you have control over your own thoughts so try to make them good ones.

I read your profile along with the info you provided here so I could get the whole picture.
First, thyroid problems/meds can cause anxiety. I also noticed you are diabetic (so am I). Keeping your sugars under control by eating regularly and a balanced diet along with keeping hydrated makes a HUGE difference. When my sugars are too high or too low....I get head pressure and dizziness (hate the feeling).
Make sure you get plenty of rest as well.
I do deep breathing (deep breath in....hold it several seconds and then blow out slowly through pursed lips......repeat this several times). This really helps in calming me down. I also do a gratitude rant several times a day. This helps keep me focused and positive :)

Hope this helps

I get that kind of feeling as well at times when I'm in very big places, or when I'm going up and down an elevator or escalators or anything of that nature. I don't know exactly what causes it though but do know that you aren't alone in that.
