I am using my wife's account so please exuse the user name. Six months ago I started getting dizzy feelings, and jittery in my stomach. My heart felt like it was pounding. When I went to the doctor they told me that I had anxiety. When I am in public I socialize fine, and have no problem with being around a lot of people, and never have. Which brings me to why am I feeling this way when I have never had a social problem. I work as a Correctional Officer in a prison. In 2004 I was assaulted by an inmate and suffered a mild concussion and five staples to the back of my head. I was out of work for a week and went back with no other problems. I didn't start getting dizzy until the middle of 2007. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. I am on buspirone and would like to know of anything (breathing techniques) to do to reduce my stress. Oh, and i have high blood pressure (go figure). Thank you, mhinton433:confused:
