hi everyone suffering from dizziness. i found that the most effective way to deal with it is "acceptance". for a few years, when i got dizzy, i said to myself "accept it. it's a part of me. accept it", then it gradually went away. it takes practices and i must say it doesn't always work instantly. but it sure works for me most of the time.
Suffered vertigo for years seen so many doctors & I discovered its connected to anxiety & since I'm learning how to deal with it......I feel so good again.
@@chantellevanderwatt7230 do head exercises & even if you feel dizziness keep doing them daily & remember there is no panic you will get back on balance if you keep working it ..... daily it works
@@sanchez4500 austin goh I think is his name hes under vertigo exercises & also another indian doctor has videos for head exercises, these 2 guys are the best but you must follow them 2 times maybe 3 I did & I'm so much better & work on your anxiety 2.all the best & stick with it promise it works
@@loretta5330 worse I hate going in public feels as if I’m going to fall over while walking and I have my husband or son drive me anywhere I need to go!
@@Tia84672 I'm the same exact way.. I can't drive for nothing..I'm so unbalanced my vision be feeling off. I feel like I'm in a bad dream... And yes stores are my biggest trigger... Can I inbox you on Facebook? I be needing someone to talk to who understands
You got me all teared up because today I found out I'm not the only one. I had anxiety and panic attacks for years now with some periods of. First few months of 2021. started really bad and they were so stressful and in one moment I started to feel imbalanced all the time. That scared me off so much and it was like a vicious cycle with my panic attacks. Then I had 2 periods were it just went almost back to normal. At that last period one night I experienced vertigo laying on my back and I had the roughest night ever and I panicked for the next 2-3 days even though the next morning I've read that that's usually not something to worry about (like it's not deadly and it's probably bppv). I did epley and I was back to normal again but since I continued to have big anxiety (can't stop thinking about that night) my imbalance came back again which is awful, but I discovered it's connected to my anxiety and that I am not the only one. I hope it will be better again as it was and I will continue to work on myself. P.S. You made me laugh because I also always challange myself when I get dizzy, I always do some squats and bend and then I'm like 'oh fuck u, this is not even doing anaything to me'. And even when I have bad episodes of dizziness I do my strenght or cardio, and even thought I feel less confident I manage to properly do my workouts :)
I feel for you. I feel the same all day. As soon as I get up till I go to bed. Its horrible. Went for all test . Docs can't find anything. Just put me on benzodiazepine and effexor. Not helping much either.
@@freddystephen8673 just you over thinking it same is going on with me man its getting better I can finally run more then before this all started July 4th 2020 I had a panic attack and can't stop thinking about it buts it's OK bro. We will get over it.
Anxiety lightheadedness. This was the symptom that was the hardest to deal with. I found that fighting it didn’t work. Recovery for me took time and perseverance. I kept a log and rated the intensity of my symptoms on a scale of 1-10. Initially I was aiming to lower intensity from a 6,7 or 8 to a 2,3 or 4. It’s unrealistic to get it to a zero. I also tried to still be productive. I got a lot of reassurance from Dr Claire Weeks book “Hope and Help for your Nerves”
Thank you for sharing your comment Peter. That lightheadedness is a royal pain in the ass. Good idea to keep a log of things, having something to refer back to is always useful. That was the initial reason for me starting this channel.
Omg I can't believe someone like u is experiencing exactly the same and think and act the same . I have vertigo and dizziness on and off listening to you has been a great comfort i don't feel so alone now . Thank you I'm a new subscriber.
thank you so much for your videos. for the past week my anxiety has been non stop and it’s been so bad that I would question whether i wanted to be alive because dying would get rid of the feeling. i felt so alone in everything i was feeling. I’m so new to this and i’m learning what to do but right now it feels like it’s killing me. I just started watching your video and hearing you talk along with reading the comments makes me feel so much better and helps me know that i’m not alone. thank you so much
I would say the people who are anxious are more stronger than others Be brave guys keep it up enjoy more relax and live better life It's there only to make us more to realise and enjoy and love you all 🥰🥰🥰
@@freddystephen8673 i just saw my optometrist yesterday and she said there are muscles in your eye controlled by your sympathetic nervous system just like anxiety so when you're anxious its like sensory overload from both
Thank you for talking through what you go through with your attacks which exactly mirror what I go through. It’s reassuring. I’m due for an in-depth hospital investigation meanwhile I try not to panic, stop and breathe
Im constantly dizzy with anxiety,im a father off 3 kids,going work everyday but im getting tired off this,i can even taste the anxiety... anxiety has ruined my life 100%....im always scared im going to have a massive heart attack
I haven’t driven my car in months or been in a shop for 4 months because the dizziness has become too much to handle and I’m now indoors 24/7 scared to be around people. It’s such a horrible way to live, being scared all the time. My biggest fear is actually fainting because I fainted a lot when I was younger and the fear just stuck with me. I need to get a job soon now that my daughter is growing up but I can’t even drive any more. My life is a disaster. I refuse to take antidepressants because the ones I was on for 6 years ended up destroying me and the dizziness was never a symptom of my anxiety until I started taking them.
@Haaaayley I know exactly where you are coming from, most of last year I couldn't leave the house on my own, even to goto shop which is only 5mins away by car, feeling anxious and dizzy every time I go out has ruined my life, when panic starts to come on I can not even walk in a straight line,feels like you are stamping your feet while walking,most people look at you thinking you are drunk, only some occasion I would stop and talk with someone to try and shake the feeling off, now i carry a cold flannel with me and put it on the back of my neck, it works most of the time, try and stay strong 💪
My dizziness feeling is like when I work and bending down to look up I get panic attack for a moment. Which I hate to feel and go through and feeling when walking in a open spaces I get a pull to my left and get feared for daily basis. I get knurled feet to stay still.
Ever since that first Vertigo Attack I feel so anxious every day and I find nothing that helps and it causes dizziness 24 7. I do epley and it helps but since you never know when the next attack is coming i am constantly in fear to go to sleep O can't even lie down anymore during daytime to relax. Its horrible and I need a solution to that. Thanks for the video!
Hello, i have had anxiety since i was 8 and it hurts me so much :( i feel dizzy alot because of my anxiety and it's making school really really hard and i don't know what to do :((((
When it happens in class i make a fool out of myself and the teachers don't do anything about it :/ I'm going to camhs (children's Association mental health society) soon and I'm so scared. I live in constant fear of being dizzy and it's getting to much
I hope you manage to get some help with dealing with the fear of the dizzy spells. They definitely can be scary, but always remember that those dizzy spells won't hurt you. You're not in any real danger. If you can try and learn to accept the dizziness, the fear will ease and maybe in turn the dizziness may ease too. I wish you all the best.
Same with me. Hit my head skateboarding when I was 15 and had bppv. Hit my head again in 2019 and about a week later woke up one morning and the whole world was spinning. Eye were jumping around the whole thing. It’s a terrifying feeling if you’ve had it you know the feeling. After it happens I did the eply and had residue dizziness i guess for a couple kf months. The anxiety of it happening again is real as you mentioned. Definitely a negative cycle.
I usually get vertigo when going to appointments and being around a formal setting. Around as little as 4 other people in the room can set it off. It’s debilitating but I’ve been dealing with it for about 6 years now. Baby steps I suppose.
Same dude, I’ll be just overthinking in my head thinking of anyway I can escape, calling someone for no reason, going to the bathroom for no reason, anything to just get up and get away from people, even being in a car with someone else driving makes me feel like I’m not in control and what if I have a panic attack I’m just stuck in a passenger seat, strange, just battling it day by day, weirdly enough I don’t get any anxiety when I’m driving, unless I’m stuck in bumper to bumper traffic and know I can’t escape the situation if I wanted too
i am suffering from it since 6 years and recently it got worst when i lost my parents. have been doing yoga it helps me to get little clam and i am more engaged in sports nowadays
I have done all the MRI scan for my head and all, and tested my heart multiple times. Nothing seems to be the issue. But for years on and off. And right now. I am getting the same dizziness I am most afraid of. Whem I walk I feel like my legs are losing themself and jelly, and when I stand.. I feel like I am on a ship PR boat swaying around. Worst part is even when I am sitted and lying down. I still feel myself falling off and swaying. And then I start to panic and have problem with even breathing properly and concentrating. I wish someone here could really help me as everynight I am so afraid to sleep cos I know I am going to wake up disappointed and getting this same dizziness again. My body feels weird, my head feels weird, my stomach feels weird. I just feel so alone and seem like no matter how much I try. No one will ever believe or understand. Cos test results are always negative.
don't feel alone I'm 24/7 dizzy and I don't know why even I make all tests mir scan ct scan everything is normel... even the doctors don't know what is this it's killing me its been one year
I too was feeling the same, but now it's not as worse as it was, I go for jogging in the morning and evening everyday, I skip rope and do exercise especially balancing on one leg. It is helpful and breathing exercises too. Am praying for you guys too. At least now I can Face the dizziness and not being afraid like it used to come head-on and I could suffer from it for an hour. May GOD ALMIGHTY be with us 🙏 I believe it will finish and we will overcome this and get our lives back.... NOTHING LAST FOREVER 🙏🙏🙏
Its horrible. My legs feel very weak im scared to challenge to myself because I feel like I'm going to fall. Because of my symptoms I'm afraid. my dizziness last up to 2 . 3 days. I just had my MRI IN MY BRAIN. HOPING ITS NORMAL
Omg you describe so well what i'm feeling. With every step I take i say to myself: don't fall.. don't fall... It's exhausting. How are you now? I hope it will get betteer because I don't seem to have much of a life anymore :(
@@louise6784 I feel you ,I always wear slippers if possible cause when I wear sneakers it makes me feel even more unbalanced. And I always look down when I'm walking so that I don't trip or fall😩
Hi Billy. First I´m watching your videos from time to time and I must say that I see great progress in your anxiety recovery (especially from your last videos). Question: To what extend do you think that personality type plays role in anxiety recovery? Because I think that main reason why e.g. Drew is out of anxiety state and other people with the same knowledge as him are still in anxiety state - it must be because of what type of person one is. People who are phlegmatic has much easier way out of this state. Because really I think that getting out of anxiety state depends on having NO METHOD, NO SYSTEM on how to cope with anxiety (including Claire Weekes method). It should´t be called method, floting and accepting means just living your life, not solving anxiety. If something cames to your mind - not solving and continue living. Not solving is a key - but if the person is able to not solving something so tempting as anxiety - it depends on personality type. So how to change personality type is the question :) have a nice eveneing, Paul.
My dizzyness started when I started doing exercises for 15 mins on empty stomach. I thought it's because of my low sugar, but then it got worse to the point of fainting and panic attack. So I stopped doing exercises but the dizziness continued. It grew worse and worse that I feel dizzy 24/7 and i only get relief by eating, I did my blood sugar check when I'm dizzy and it was normal. Now it's getting out of hands to control my dizzy spells, I have it almost every day. I have been to tons of docs and did tests, so far, no conclusion.
Are you feeling better? I think you might have. It's been 5 months for you. I'm going through the same thing. It seems the only thing that works is to challenge it by ignoring it and not hiding from it. We know very little of this condition, all we know is that anxiety with its plethora of psychogenic symptoms is unconscious and out of our conscious control. When it first happened I thought it was physical in nature and through my ignorance of its psychological nature it pushed itself in and snowballed into panic attacks. I went to ER and they told me I'm perfectly healthy, which is what you want to hear to get out of the negative thought loop. if you realize this the attacks will get rare and shorter and according to many people will disappear entirely.
@@hummingpylon Hope you are feeling better. You are absolutely right that it gets better with time and try to forget it. However, I had trauma, and it takes months to forget it. My 5 months update: I feel lot better comparatively. However, the trauma of constant dizziness and panic attacks led me to overeat. I was skinny and fit but after overeating, I have gained around 10-11 kg in just over 3 months, now weight gain is slowing down. I always keep a chocolate bar with me to eat in case I feel dizzy, gives me confidance. Whenever, I go out, it gets really worse and I try to eat lot, especially sweets to convince myself that it's not low sugar. I'm really better now compared to old me with continuous dizzy spells and panic attacks. I just need to control my overeating habits and start light exercising. I was very active before but after this, I'm reluctant and in energy save mode as I feel I'll get low sugar if I exert myself. It makes you mentally handicap and unable to focus on work or go out independently. I found very few studies on the internet and yet not 100% convince that it's anxiety only.
@@hummingpylon check for vitamin d3 deficiency. Anxiety, dizziness, IBS is linked to it. Also, omega 3 fatty acid. If your blood sugar is normal, BP is normal then there's not much to worry.
@@sachinbhoi5727 My first reaction too was eating sweets to raise blood sugar but I'm confident that sweets merely cause a calming effect. I had many traumas in life and times of greater anxiety than I do now and I never experienced such symptoms, this tells me that I have reached a boiling point of inner tension where I can no longer vent it for it not to interfere with my daily life. Can I ask you a few questions? Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? Do you suffer with obsessive compulsive disorder? Do you have a strong sense of pride? Are you an introvert? What about impostor syndrome? Does opposite sex makes you feel anxious? Do you have/had muscle pain and back pain? Do you have exophoria? Are you a reader? Have you had prior thoughts of suicide?
@@hummingpylon thank you for your concern and explanations. I think we have been through similar circumstances. I get panic attack giving public speeches or even interview. I am very sensitive to balance, so I avoided any amusement park rides, etc. My dizziness started when I was in strict lockdown at my home for 2 years, I had very strong urge to go out, similar to you, and there was no way to vent the anxiety and frustration out. To top that all, had no social contacts. Also, I have irritable bowel syndrome which makes my anxiety worse.
I get basically the same . I get when I am concentrating are getting worked up. I also challenge it . even go on a jog and I always feel better. mine is usually like a Brian fog. it confusing some time wondering is its something worse .
Is your dizziness from anxiety made worse by reading iphone or books? It’s been 5 years. I’ve done so much work on my recovery and have had clear months. Only slight moments but nothing to scare me. But it’s all back. Dropping feeling. Swaying. I’ve had it all. I’ve always thought it was iphone use - computer sickness - cyber sickness. My dizziness is ten times worse with iphone use. Anyone help or get this? X
@@MG-dw6xo so sorry to hear that. I find this such an awful symptom. Eye strain. Eye pain. Light sensitivity. Dry eyes. Dizziness. As soon as I go to read or scroll or look at too much visual stimuli, i get flooded with these symptoms.
@@maryawino5322 I feel you and am so sorry to hear this. I find the more you calm down and distract yourself, the more you erase the word ‘anxiety’ from your life, either by thinking the word or saying the word, the less you experience symptoms. 🙏
Hello, why do I keep feeling lightheaded and dizzy all the time and it increases if I take any stress. Have got an MRI done which is normal, am taking vitamin d3 medicines as they were low. The neurologist has told me if those don't work I will need to visit a psychiatrist. Do you think I have anxiety? Please help 🙏
I know there's no physical reason for my dizziness because I'll do my balance exercises or get on a 1/2 bosu ball and no issues. If anything, my legs are more tired than anything, for example on a leg day at the gym. And I tried the Epley maneuver on a whim and it really helped me.

How long have you had it?
I literally have the same exact symptoms rn? Any luck?
Same!!!! I have had every test including MRI and CT of brain and spine. Heart scans, stomach scans. All Negative.
I do the same thing. It’s worse when I’m tired or fatigued.
Same for me
Awesome man thank you !!! This is so helpful
Told you I'd get to your question dude. Glad it's helped.
Working out really helps me
Great video , your helping me so much , thank you .
Vertigo sends me into instant anxiety
Anyone else actually fall down? Cuz i do and doctors always say that wont happen but it does. I get clumsy, trip, fall, and literally cant walk
Its horrible. My legs feel very weak im scared to challenge to myself because I feel like I'm going to fall. Because of my symptoms I'm afraid. my dizziness last up to 2 . 3 days. I just had my MRI IN MY BRAIN. HOPING ITS NORMAL
Claudia - Go away Anxiety! go away was it normal?
Omg you describe so well what i'm feeling. With every step I take i say to myself: don't fall.. don't fall... It's exhausting. How are you now? I hope it will get betteer because I don't seem to have much of a life anymore :(
How are you now hope your okay
Hi ty.. I have my good days and some bad. Staying positive as much possible and yourseld
@@louise6784 I feel you ,I always wear slippers if possible cause when I wear sneakers it makes me feel even more unbalanced. And I always look down when I'm walking so that I don't trip or fall😩
Thanks for the video. I feel the same way all the time. Seen ENT and Neuro specialist, they don't find anything.
I challenge it also !!! Im glad I am not the only one.. Yes yes yes ! But the vertigo one i am hanging onto walls with that one.
Hi Billy. First I´m watching your videos from time to time and I must say that I see great progress in your anxiety recovery (especially from your last videos). Question: To what extend do you think that personality type plays role in anxiety recovery? Because I think that main reason why e.g. Drew is out of anxiety state and other people with the same knowledge as him are still in anxiety state - it must be because of what type of person one is. People who are phlegmatic has much easier way out of this state. Because really I think that getting out of anxiety state depends on having NO METHOD, NO SYSTEM on how to cope with anxiety (including Claire Weekes method). It should´t be called method, floting and accepting means just living your life, not solving anxiety. If something cames to your mind - not solving and continue living. Not solving is a key - but if the person is able to not solving something so tempting as anxiety - it depends on personality type. So how to change personality type is the question :) have a nice eveneing, Paul.
Thank you Paul. That's a really good question. I'll give this some thought.
My dizzyness started when I started doing exercises for 15 mins on empty stomach. I thought it's because of my low sugar, but then it got worse to the point of fainting and panic attack. So I stopped doing exercises but the dizziness continued. It grew worse and worse that I feel dizzy 24/7 and i only get relief by eating, I did my blood sugar check when I'm dizzy and it was normal. Now it's getting out of hands to control my dizzy spells, I have it almost every day. I have been to tons of docs and did tests, so far, no conclusion.
Are you feeling better? I think you might have. It's been 5 months for you. I'm going through the same thing. It seems the only thing that works is to challenge it by ignoring it and not hiding from it. We know very little of this condition, all we know is that anxiety with its plethora of psychogenic symptoms is unconscious and out of our conscious control. When it first happened I thought it was physical in nature and through my ignorance of its psychological nature it pushed itself in and snowballed into panic attacks. I went to ER and they told me I'm perfectly healthy, which is what you want to hear to get out of the negative thought loop. if you realize this the attacks will get rare and shorter and according to many people will disappear entirely.
@@hummingpylon Hope you are feeling better. You are absolutely right that it gets better with time and try to forget it. However, I had trauma, and it takes months to forget it. My 5 months update: I feel lot better comparatively. However, the trauma of constant dizziness and panic attacks led me to overeat. I was skinny and fit but after overeating, I have gained around 10-11 kg in just over 3 months, now weight gain is slowing down. I always keep a chocolate bar with me to eat in case I feel dizzy, gives me confidance. Whenever, I go out, it gets really worse and I try to eat lot, especially sweets to convince myself that it's not low sugar. I'm really better now compared to old me with continuous dizzy spells and panic attacks. I just need to control my overeating habits and start light exercising. I was very active before but after this, I'm reluctant and in energy save mode as I feel I'll get low sugar if I exert myself. It makes you mentally handicap and unable to focus on work or go out independently. I found very few studies on the internet and yet not 100% convince that it's anxiety only.
@@hummingpylon check for vitamin d3 deficiency. Anxiety, dizziness, IBS is linked to it. Also, omega 3 fatty acid. If your blood sugar is normal, BP is normal then there's not much to worry.
@@sachinbhoi5727 My first reaction too was eating sweets to raise blood sugar but I'm confident that sweets merely cause a calming effect. I had many traumas in life and times of greater anxiety than I do now and I never experienced such symptoms, this tells me that I have reached a boiling point of inner tension where I can no longer vent it for it not to interfere with my daily life. Can I ask you a few questions? Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? Do you suffer with obsessive compulsive disorder? Do you have a strong sense of pride? Are you an introvert? What about impostor syndrome? Does opposite sex makes you feel anxious? Do you have/had muscle pain and back pain? Do you have exophoria? Are you a reader? Have you had prior thoughts of suicide?
@@hummingpylon thank you for your concern and explanations. I think we have been through similar circumstances. I get panic attack giving public speeches or even interview. I am very sensitive to balance, so I avoided any amusement park rides, etc. My dizziness started when I was in strict lockdown at my home for 2 years, I had very strong urge to go out, similar to you, and there was no way to vent the anxiety and frustration out. To top that all, had no social contacts. Also, I have irritable bowel syndrome which makes my anxiety worse.
I get basically the same .
I get when I am concentrating are getting worked up.
I also challenge it .
even go on a jog and I always feel better.
mine is usually like a Brian fog.
it confusing some time wondering is its something worse .
Sir same sensation. Unsteadiness is one of my symptoms. Its start when i was trigger by panic attack
Is your dizziness from anxiety made worse by reading iphone or books? It’s been 5 years. I’ve done so much work on my recovery and have had clear months. Only slight moments but nothing to scare me. But it’s all back. Dropping feeling. Swaying. I’ve had it all. I’ve always thought it was iphone use - computer sickness - cyber sickness. My dizziness is ten times worse with iphone use. Anyone help or get this? X
My eyesight is fine bt way. It’s definitely anxiety but now it’s affecting tv watching and reading 😭
Personnaly I can’t even read my eyes can’t focus
@@MG-dw6xo so sorry to hear that. I find this such an awful symptom. Eye strain. Eye pain. Light sensitivity. Dry eyes. Dizziness. As soon as I go to read or scroll or look at too much visual stimuli, i get flooded with these symptoms.
@@333mylifeandme my eyes are sensitive to light, I can't watch TV and even normal daylight affects me. Anxiety has stolen my life
@@maryawino5322 I feel you and am so sorry to hear this. I find the more you calm down and distract yourself, the more you erase the word ‘anxiety’ from your life, either by thinking the word or saying the word, the less you experience symptoms. 🙏
What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo? It gets a little messy sometimes to understand when I letter after dizzy here on the tube.
I just did the epely and it worked so far
I drive and let widows dow and get the breeze in me and after a long drive I feel better
One other thing I noticed that the tv screen brings anxiety
Very true
Do we feel this anxiety dizziness due to drop in blood pressure ?
Have you heard of PPPD?
How do you deal with anxiety shallow breathing? It's the one thing that drives me nuts
Do u still have it?
@@sandrawilsen6324 how are you now
@@tubbahoe Still bad :( wbu?
Anyone dizzy with ringing ear ?
How are you now?
Eply manuver works. Took me 2 yrs
Hello, why do I keep feeling lightheaded and dizzy all the time and it increases if I take any stress. Have got an MRI done which is normal, am taking vitamin d3 medicines as they were low. The neurologist has told me if those don't work I will need to visit a psychiatrist. Do you think I have anxiety? Please help 🙏
Yes its anxiety u have i have that rite now
Does anyone feel pressure in ther eyes with dizziness
I have the same
Yes i do and i pretty much go blind,ur not on ur own x
eply manuver saved me.
I know there's no physical reason for my dizziness because I'll do my balance exercises or get on a 1/2 bosu ball and no issues. If anything, my legs are more tired than anything, for example on a leg day at the gym. And I tried the Epley maneuver on a whim and it really helped me.
I was in bed 2 yrs so ill
every day
crystal vertigo.... the lot
Thank u :(
