Can anyone tell me why I'm experiencing this. When I'm under stress or have stressful thoughts then i feel dizzy and lightheaded and my right leg goes lame. It lasts for a few seconds then it goes away. Does anyone know if this could be some sort of anxiety attack.
Yes anxiety related I am exactly the same except both my legs go daft, just stay calm and let it pass. I found that when I realised what it was I didn't worry about it anymore and it doesn't hardly happen now hope ur ok x
I get that leg thing too. New over the last year.its party of the anxiety attack but i. Unsure why that became a symptom of it. I thought maybe it had to do with my circulation or b12 levels but you are not alone with that.
I am so happy I'm not alone. Thanks so much Kerrymarie for your response. I'm going through some tough times now and it's happening like every day, some times 5 times a day (only started 2 weeks ago). I am on anti-depressants, think I need to get a higher dosage to help me cope. Will speak to my doctor to up my dosage.
It's new to me too, thought I was going to have a stroke or something. With the amount of stress I'm going through it wouldn't have suprised me. Think I might also go for the vitamin B injection, that might also help me a bit.
You are defiantly not alone hun our bodies do the werideat things with anxiety, it maybe worth speaking to your gp like you say. Apart from that I have found you have to try not to let it win, don't give into it when the anxiety symptons happen just keep doing what you were doing and try to ignore it. Your brain eventually starts to figure out that it's no bothering you and you find you don't react to some of the symptons then good luck xx
Thanks, much appreciated :-)
