i had a miscarriage in august and i have been so ill since then. the drs are saying i have anxiety but i dont believe them. ive been a&e twice with what they say are panic attacks but i have never had them before the miscarriage. the past week i have been getting loads of dizzy spells like vertigo and then a sudden fear of dread, once it passes i just cry. i dont believe anxiety can cause me to actually be dizzy - the dra wont do any tests and im so scared there is something seriously wrong and no one is listening to me. please is there any one out there that has had these awful dizzy spells and how do you get rid of them. i just feel like letting it take over me i feel exhausted afterwards and dont know how much longer i can do this. please any advise is welcome
Dizziness is a symptom of anxiety and panic! It can hits you from sudden and it can take only few seconds or even minutes!
Sometimes, I get dizzy spells too! It is so awful!!!
I suffer from severe health anxiety and panic attacks and I have too many scary symptoms which makes me really out and I end up crying all the time!
You are not alone, but be aware that anxiety is just anxiety! It can cause many super horrible symptoms, but it is not a real physical illness! It is just in our nervous mind! We can fight with it!
Stay strong!!!
Hey hun, I’m so sorry to hear you lost your baby. Honestly, everything you have described can indeed be anxiety. I often get the same symptoms you describe. It is it can be totally overwhelming and feels as though it costumes your whole mind and body. . I often think to myself, “why do i feel so weird.” "Why is floor moving?i know it’s not really moving but for me it is. It feels like it is. I can’t look down. If I do, it’s like an earthquake. I literally have to hold on to the kitchen worktop to steady myself! It’s totally bizarre and weird. Icant explain it. It’s hard when you can’t make, e sense of it. But this is anxiety. Now, for the sensitive bit! You’ve had a huge loss honey. I’ve been through the same. The first time, I was 21 wks pregnant and severe abnormalities were found. As I was so advanced in my pregnancy, I had to deliver the normal way. I lost my baby girl. The second time I was 12 wks and just miscarried. Devastating. But i was in the hospital in the morning, and back to the at my financial account job. I ignored it because I didnt want to deal with it. I pushed it out of my mind. Friends at work later commented that they could not understand why I was happy, too happy. If someone brought it up, I would say “hey, I’m fine” and change the subject. It was my way of dealing with it. My coping mechanism. I was psychologically literally not allowing it to enter my psyche. I wasn’t offered any counselling. I just got on with things. About two years later, WHAM! It hit me like a tonne of bricks. I hated my job. Everything was going wrong. I started having panic attacks, my nerves were shot,! I became a nervous wreak who couldn’t face anyone. The point I’m trying to get across honey, is I’m not surprised you feel like this after what you’ve been through. I reckon it is anxiety. And I’m glad, in your own way you are dealing with it now-rather than later as I did. Reach out and ask for help and get as much support as you can. Message me anytime and privately, if you wish. Hope you feel better soon. Donna xxx
I recently learned that there’s a mile long list of physical symptoms that anxiety can cause. Dizzy spells were on the list. I’m not a professional, but what you described does sound a lot like a panic attack to me. If you’ve already been to a doctor and the doctor says you’re fine I wouldn’t worry too much.
At any rate, I hope you get better soon!!<3
