Yeah.... It really sucks and is scary.... Because of head pressure
Yes it's the one symptom that I can't shake and it's frightening. Always thinking "will this be the time I actually do faint??"Originally Posted by anxietykidd
In the past, I would sometimes be sitting watching tv in bed and I'd get this feeling in my head that would make me fall over, like not able to hold myself up and I'd have to hold onto the bed like the room was spinning for a split second. Very weird sensation, and it would happen when I wasn't even feeling anxious.. just random.
Yep I get the same thing. How did u get rid of it??
It was never a reoccurring thing.. it would happen once or twice, and then never again.. just very random.. hasn't happened in a few years for me. I never had to do anything to get rid of it, just didn't last long.
Yeah I get either standing or sitting. It's very scary. And yes I also think to myself "will this be the time that I actually do faint" . And I get even more anxious or worried because I'm in front of a classroom. I know I would be super embarrassed if that happened. Closing my eyes sometimes helps . It also comes at times when I don't even think I'm feeling anxious . It's all very unsettling
I am sooo the same. I will be feeling fine then all of a sudden I start to feel it then bang I can't shake it.... It used to set off massive panic attacks but I've learnt to keep them at bay lately.
I just hate feeling like I'm going to fall over all the time. It makes me worry something seriously is wrong with me and it's a never ending cycle day after day
Yup.But I don't know if mine is anxiety, my hyperthyroidism, the increase in thyroid drugs, the increase in Prozac, allergies, blocked ear, etc. I pretty much try to just ignore it because I know it will eventually pass and even if I KNEW what was causing it there's nothing I can do to change it at this point.
I remind myself that my problems could be much worse, but I get very angry and defeated when these attacks rob me of too much of my day.

Think this us why I get scared more as I'm not stressed / anxious etc .. .. Believe it or not , although I get panic disorder and health .. I'm not an anxious person & dnt really get stressed over things
Locksey even if not usually an anxious person when you have any form of depression or anxiety, you will get these anxiety and panic attacks.
Our brains are not working properly and see fear in things which would not normally worry us one bit, and although these anxiety and panic attacks can't help us, they are horrible.
We just have to learn our own ways of getting through them and different ways for when have them in different places.
I use breathing exercises,meditation, mindfulness, essential oils on a tissue, and some CD relaxation tapes, water on my lips - all depending where I am when attacks happen and what I can do where I am without showing myself up or showing family up, or if I can go for a walk or go to toilets to get space.
At work I also have two good colleagues who will tell me when manic and I need to calm down, they will tell me during meetings so others don't know, but I do and I calm down and stop talking too much.
