ok, i was diagtnosed with a anxiety disorder and i sometimes have panic attacks, usually brought on when i start thinking there is something seriously wrong with my health.
anyways, sometimes, ill be walking around, NOT ANXIOUS or worried or anything, and get the ever so slightest hint of dizzyness that lasts about 1 second or so...never longer.
i told my doctor this and they told me, you dont have to have a panic attack to have some of the effects, such as dizzynes, sweats...ect....they basically said since i have an anxiety disorder, i can feel any of these effects, anytime, relaxed or not. i was told this by my Primary care physician and my phychologist....is this true?

Yes absolutely true. I have pretty bad anxiety and I do get dizzy spells quite a lot. I actually ended up passing out 4 or 5 times in the past. I am currently taking Lexapro every day to keep my anxiety level down and my doctor gave me a xanax prescription for when I feel a panic attack coming on and that is my perfect remedy.

I don't know if it's true, but if it isn't severe, stop thinking about it. Usually when your heart races, breathing increases you may feel faint. But slight dizziness can be from low blood sugar, not breathing properly, etc., etc.

You could be hyperventilating which could cause dizziness. Relax.......take slow deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
