Anxiety And Dizziness: Understand The Connection And Feel Better
New studies reveal the link between anxiety and dizziness. And dizziness is one of the most crippling symptoms. It feels as if you have no control over your body, as if weakness has taken over and you could lose consciousness at any moment.
Anxiety is one of our most common problems, but at the same time one of the least explored. In recent years, it has become a constant companion for a large part of the population. In addition to all the emotional suffering it causes, it can also cause various troubling physical problems.
Anxiety and dizziness often go hand in hand, and the dizziness can be so intense that you become nauseous and vomit. It can disrupt the digestive system and can also have negative effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The problem is that many people do not realize that it is anxiety that causes these problems. They usually assume that the problems arise due to some other medical condition. That is why so many are trying to solve them in the wrong way.
When we talk about dizziness, we mean such a condition as it feels as if everything revolves around one. This means that you feel unstable, no matter what surface you are standing on, as if you were losing your footing.
The dizziness is thus accompanied by a sudden feeling of dizziness, ie the experience of spinning around and moving. It also feels as if the brain is not working or as if you are in some unreal variant of the world. You feel that you are completely present, at the same time as you are in a kind of dream life.
It can also feel like the muscles have lost all power. It is also common to have blurred vision, to slow down the thought process and to feel generally uncomfortable. In severe cases, dizziness can also lead to fainting.
Keep in mind that anxiety is a mental condition that causes physical symptoms. It is a way of reacting when you feel exposed to danger or feel that you are being attacked. You react even if there is no real danger or attack. Unfortunately, you experience it as if it were reality.
In today’s world, anxiety attacks are often due to society pushing us too hard, it demands more of us than we can offer. We are forced to comply with conditions and rules that limit our ability to react. We feel cramped when we try to meet different expectations. This requires tremendous effort that creates anxiety.
Sometimes dizziness is a sign that you are living with anxiety in your daily life. It can occur if you have for a long time avoided dealing with stressful situations. It usually appears without warning. In addition, it does not necessarily have anything to do with any stress you are experiencing at the moment.
To identify and find solutions to the problem
What complicates everything is that dizziness is also a symptom of many other diseases and conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to determine that anxiety is the source of the problem. So how do you know if anxiety is behind the dizziness or if it is due to something completely different?
When dizziness is caused by nervousness, there are some things you can do to identify it. Normally, you first notice that your muscles tense. Respiration and heart rate also increase sharply. This means that your body needs more oxygen. If this condition lasts for a while, your body will soon become exhausted. Your muscles lose strength, your brain becomes slower and you become dizzy.
If you experience muscle tension and anxiety for no particular reason, and if you then become dizzy, this can probably be linked to anxiety. The best way to prevent these problems, or to control them, is to control your breathing. One of the best methods is deep breathing (diaphragmatic breathing).
It is also good if you control your thoughts. This way you avoid seeing every stressful situation as a matter of life and death. It is only when the anxiety is very strong that it leads to dizziness. If this applies to you, you may be interested in reading the article below.
