Dizzy

[JakeM13]

Last night I had a dizzy spell which is something I’ve never had before, I’m wondering if someone can explain to me what it’s like when you become dizzy and it is caused by anxiety because it happened to me suddenly after dinner whilst I was driving home and I couldn’t stop feeling the dizziness which of course made my anxiety much worse and then I think it continued to make the dizziness worse to the point where I couldn’t tel if it was something serious or if I was overreacting. I was seriously worried and I don’t know how to cope with these things, I have only been recently diagnosed with having generalised anxiety a few months ago and some days I have no idea what to do or where to go, I just want to hide at home and curl up into a ball.

Hello Jake,

A warm and caring welcome to the forums..

Anxiety can do all sorts of things to us...your dizziness could or could not be from anxiety..

I would like to ask you if you could to go to your Dr. and let him/her know what you experienced while you were driving home..to rule out if something else caused your dizziness...

I think if we feel a pain, or dizziness as you have and the more we focus on them and how we’re feeling it takes over our thoughts then what ever is happening to us seems to stay longer..and gets our anxiety very heightened and we start to believe that it’s something serious...

Please for your own health and peace of mind, give your Dr a ring and talk the dizziness and your other thoughts and feeling through with him/her..

Talk here anytime you feel up to it..We are here for you to help support you through your hard times..

My kind thoughts with care..

Grandy..
