Why does anxiety make you dizzy?

[vicky]

Does anybody know the answer to this??

[Malyn]

Because when we are anxious we over breath . Do a deep breathing . I get dizzy too a lot

Shallow chest breaths are what causes most dizziness, tightness in chest, and all the great things we feel our heart doing like fluttering and skipping beats.
Normal things for an anxious person to feel so do not let it scare you.
Like Malyn said, take a few deep belly breaths and they the dizziness will stop.

Thank you, that does make sense. I've not been feeling like I could take a full deep breath so the result has been many shallow ones, thank you.
