Anxiety lightheadedness scares me.. what do I do to get rid of it?

I get lightheaded and feel like I’m going collapse at times ! I Also suffer from vertigo which is a lot worse feeling then being  lightheaded !! 

I’ve had anxiety since childhood and later developed the symptoms in my twenties. I’m now in my fifties so I have dealt with this for a very long time.  

Ive had the shortness of breath and lightheaded feeling many times.

The key to anxiety management is basically the same for all your symptoms.

Anxiety  starts in the brain. Your brain can only take so much stress and anxiety and then you start to see symptoms. When the symptoms are due to anxiety or stress, they will not hurt you but I know how  weird and scary they can be. You need to relax your mind as much as possible every single day. Anxiety has a way of creating negative thoughts which in turn can create some of the symptoms and also make you feel down or depressed. Sometimes speaking with a counselor can help with overcoming some of the negative thinking and  things that are upsetting you and your life.

Remember that what we think And tell ourselves,we eventually live out in our life so it’s important to think positively.

 for the lightheadedness, have you ever practiced mindfulness breathing exercises? They get you in control and help with shortness of breath, lightheadedness, as well as other symptoms. You can find this on YouTube.

One is called Mindfulness Breathing guided meditation 10 minutes. It’s easy to learn and very effective! You can even do it somewhere in public without anybody knowing. Proper breathing is very important with anxiety.    It’s easy to learn and very effective! You can even do it somewhere in public without anybody knowing. Proper breathing is very important with anxiety. If you are home and feeling lightheaded, pick out one of the many meditations on YouTube for anxiety or panic. Relax and listen .

some of them are very short but they work.

 I also stopped as much negativity in my life as I could. I stopped listening to so much news and I would turn on either a meditation or positive self affirmations on YouTube. I introduced more positive things in my life. The other thing I would say is have a general check up with your doctor for your peace of mind. 

 take one day at a time and enjoy the simple things in life. A lot of us in this world are just overwhelmed with social media, this or that which actually can increase anxiety. I found it best to live a more simple life. Hope you feel better soon 

Oh dear, I can fully relate to your symptom of the light head..I have this all the time,when I stand up for a few mins I have to hold on to something..I feel like I am going to fall over..it is very scary, and has stopped me leaving the house alone...I take 0.5mg of xanax and it helps for a few hours, I have this for over 30 years..thing is, I never fell yet...I cant go into a shop, I am really down about this, as its ruining my life...I usually go out with someone, and hold on to their arm if I feel too bad...sorry, I cant tell you how to stop it,as it is all anxiety related..but breathing properly helps..xx
