Dizzy feeling - Anxiety Message Board

cloverdaze · 02-27-2006, 07:06 AM

Does anyone else get dizzy? I'm dizzy all the time and I always feel like I'm going to fall over or pass out. I feel like I'm having to strain my eyes. My jaw aches. My neck and my shoulders hurt. Random chest pains. Wake up with a pounding heart beat out of nowhere. Major trouble falling asleep. I feel like I'm 80 years old and I'm only 24! This is seriously ridiculous. All my time is spent on thinking that I'm dying, convinced that it will be any day now. I have all these scenarios in my head and I am so terrified. I don't know how to make it go away. I always feel like I'm the only person on the planet that feels this way, but reading this board helps a lot because I see that it's not just me. That makes me feel good (to know I'm not alone) and bad (to know that other people have to suffer through this too). If anyone has any stories or advice or anything, that would be great.

Do you possibly have high blood pressure? Are you on the BC pill(It doesn't say if you male or female). Are you on any medication? I have read that anxiety can cause dizziness...I have felt this dizziness before when I was very upset about something but only slightly, not all the time.

I am female, it's weird it doesn't say that. As far as I know I don't have high blood pressure. I was at the hospital about 10 days ago and it was 121/79. I'm not on BC or any meds. The dizziness is only as of recently. I couldn't look it up online because then I would focus on all the bad things it could possibly be, so my boyfriend looked it up for me and told me the first thing that came up was 'symptom of anxiety.' :-/

All appears to be signs of anxiety, but you still must see doc to rule out anything physical. I read your post and think to myself "been there done that" lol, and still doing that. There is alot of help out there but first you must stand up to your anxiety and not let it take control of your life.

Take care and good luck!!
