dizzyness/vertigo

Had Health anxiety for just over a year now but have a constant dizzy feeling which stops me from doing so much! 

Been to the doctors and hospital for countless tests and everything is fine, I've had every test you can think of, I'm very healthy as I'm a personal trainer by trade. 

I know anxiety can cause dizziness when having an attack but mines almost all day! 

Anyone else have this? 

Always! Especially at night when I try to go to sleep!

Yes I get dizzy when I'm going through anxious times, it sure can last all day

Hi i go through that every single day non stop for two years in a half already i do have generalyzed anxiety but maybe you should check for an ear infection also that gives really bad dizziness its horrible going through this but i guess is not for ever...

Ah jeeze it's so hard to beleive anxiety causes it! 

I literally feel drunk or high when I get it... Sometimes I wake up feeling fine and then BANG here comes the spaced out feeling. 

Feel pretty disconnected when I get it as if I'm dreaming or something, very very draining as well... Am usually nackerd when I get it. 

Thanks guys 

Horrible isn't it!! 

I had my ears tested as wel, they showed nothing... Ive hady fair share in NHS use this past year haha... The doctors are sick of seeing me. 

Feeling like that is called depersonalisation, its very common but very distressing I know

Lol yeah my doctors are well tired of seeing me around also but like i said i dont think is for ever so imagine i have 2 years in a half with that and alot of other symptoms like heart palpitaion,internal tremors,facial paralyzes, my head feels like their something crawling,my legs and hands go numb,short of breath witch sometimes is sudden,very scary chest and muscle pains,blurred vission and specially the non stop dizziness so imagine thats been since the 2 in a half years every single day but like i said dont think is for ever theirs a god that knows the struggles we go through and eventually he will cure us from that well take care good luck...

hi lewis...yup, i'm dizzy/off-balace almost every day and have been for the last eighteen months...also heart palpitations, "fuzzy" head (feeling not-quite-with it), headaches, muscle aches, internal (and sometimes external) shakiness...i'm told it's all anxiety-related....and countless medical tests later, i suppose i need to begin believing that diagnosis! i don't have traditional panic attacks, it's more an ongoing, all-day event for me....pretty exhausting. i've just begun another round of cbt which i'm hoping will help, and i've also joined a yoga class and try to get out for at least a vigorous walk every day....i've tried anti-depressants, but had horrible luck with the side effects (they were similar to how i'm already feeling, but more intense)....the only medication i've used with any success is lorazepam (generic for ativan), but it's not for long-term use, so i try to use it as sparingly as i'm able....my best advice is to do your best to trust your doctor(s) and don't google your symptoms (learned that one the hard way!)....someone is always online here, so pop on for a chat whenever....i've found the group to be very friendly and welcoming....take care

I'm very similar to you I think, my problem started with just not being able to stop. I have to give 200% at times and as soon as I stop the anxiety and depersonalisation and agitation is crippling

it's so frustrating, isn't it? i don't even feel like the same person i was when this appeared (seemingly out of the blue) last march....tough to remember that i used to be a strong, independent individual, where now it's all i can do to get out of bed some days....i try to not dwell on those negative thoughts, but it's difficult some days....hang in there smile

We'll said. God will fix it for us. Trust and Believe.

Hey I am the exact same as you! I have it on going all day everyday and it stops me from doing a lot of things too! I hate it especially being only 17 years old constantly worrying about my health!

22/9/14 Hello Lewis, I am wondering if there isa connection with your being a personal tariner that you worry about heal;th which gives you constant anxiety

breathing excersises helps very much with anxiety, and it is worth see a psycholgist for a few sessions to get tio the route of why you are so anxious, I was very anxious but i do have serious health problems , so given Ativan twice a day now 5 yrs, only given as i have potentially serious health condition , keep in touch please and let me know iof you decide on something to help you, cheers Lewis

Thanks for all the replies Guys much appreciated, have awoken this morning feeling as if I can't get a full breathe and have a lot of tightness at the back of my neck and chest! 

Cannot believe anxiety causes so many symptoms! 

I'd certainly sell everything I have to get rid of this! 

The thing is, anxiety symptoms (and residuals) vary from person to person. I could go out of breath for days even when I'm not doing anything and often, I'd get constant chest pains that would last for minutes and then come back again, that cycle would last for days too. As for being dizzy, I'd get it often after an anxiety attack and it would last for days too.

I enjoy this group chat, because everyone replies, and have similar symptoms as myself. This feeling is frustrating! 😡
