I been feeling dizzy and lightheaded for the past week and I went to see my doctor and they said it was anxiety/panic attack. It goes and comes and I think the more I think about it, the more I feel it. I am going to see my doctor again today because this is scaring me. Does anyone feel this?
Hi Zoey, I experienced dizziness from panic attacks because of shortness of breath. It wasn't until I got my anxiety and panic attacks under control that my dizziness subsided. I am so happy to hear that you are going to see your doctor again. Please let me know how your appointment goes today if you would like to share. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hi puppydoglvr,
Thanks for responding to me! I just got out and my doctor put me on paxil for anxiety. I don't feel shortness of breath so that's why I wonder why I feel this way. It scares me that I might have something wrong that has nothing to do with anxiety. We will see how I feel with this medicine!
Did you go to a general practitioner and get a full check-up? And, was anxiety their conclusion? Here is a site that I found to be very helpful and it gave me some insight; http://www.livingwithanxiety.com/anxiety-symptoms-dizziness.htm.
I saw another doctor than my regular one and she ask me a lot of questions and all my blood work came out normal so I don't think anything else would be causing this. I will read that information!! Thanks!
Hi Zoey, I am so happy that your blood work came back normal, that's wonderful. Please let me know how you are doing and feeling.

When I have panic attacks I get all kinds of weird feelings, my arms get tingly, I feel light headed, like I am choking, can't breath. I am afraid that I am having a stroke or a heart attack. I have seen the cardiologist and everything appears fine. My psychdoc reommended using some relaxation techniques. I have set aside 30 minutes a day for relaxation where I focus on breathing, doing abdominal breathing. I listen to quiet peaceful music. I was also started on an ssri cipralex, but the meditation once a day has really helped me. I have been doing it everyday for 4 weeks religously, I really recommend it. It might help you too
