Today, I’m answering the question, ‘can vertigo be mistaken for anxiety?’. Vertigo and anxiety occur in the same area of the brain stem, which can make it hard to determine which one you may be experiencing. The best way to find out how to tell the difference between vertigo and anxiety is to be seen by a corrective chiropractor.
Vertigo is a feeling of being off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you may feel like you or that the world around you is spinning. Whereas extreme cases of anxiety may lead you to feeling dizzy or lightheaded.

I would advise parents to make their house peaceful for their children. Anxiety is a very common thing these days. We should try walking and relaxing excerices..
Thanks for sharing!
We can't avoid anxiety but we can make safety environment to block any anxiety triggered
Even i have anxiety problem always dizzy feeling its like floating sensation while walking and even if u r standing its like u keep swaynh frm one side to other to maintain the balance.. did all tests went to ent all normal finally accupuncture therapist told its my uper back muscles which causing these problems . The muscle tightness diziness anxiety.. its a cycle ..guys please note the symptoms will b from ur tight upper back and neck muscles also.. after 4 years of suffering am improving now with cupping therapy along with accupuncture and foot reflexology .it really does wonders .
I hope it will be helpful for someone.. and don't take anxiety medicines daily... Take it only when needed . I take it only when this lightheadedness is bothering me. It's like dizziness is inside my body.. it's nt like outside spinning sensations.. it's very weird ..
@@meenakshikrishna4251same feeling iam also having constant swaying feeling what to do
Thanks for sharing
how can I get in touch with you @meenakshikrishna4251
I m suffering with this since years with no treatment...i am scared and depressed as hell with this... Can you please share your doctor details ..are you in Bangalore?
Wow, I"m amazed to see even a hint of an answer to the very question I'm raising for the past year... "Is it vertigo, panic, or anxiety?" - I've had some crazy scary vertigo these past years, but it changed after I had Covid in January 2020. Stayed home to treat myself, was sick for 4 weeks. By March a cardiologist put me on Amlodipine Besylate for high blood pressure, and Atorvastation for high cholesterol. I'd get dizzy shopping, start breathing fast, and get so scared that I couldn't finish shopping. Sometimes as I start driving away from home, I feel like I should turn around and go home because I'm afraid I'll have another vertigo attack. Sitting in restaurant in February it got so bad we had the waitress pack our meal and I went to the E.R. - they gave me meclazine, ran some tests and sent me home with "vertigo" as the diagnosis. I had a brain MRI recently, it's all good, heart monitor for 48 hours was fine, but now I wonder why am I leaning to the left all the time? When I push a grocery cart I feel like someone is pulling it to the left. My memory is getting worse than ever. Oh, I'll be 68 years old in a few days. - On the bright side, I went to Physical Therapy recently for 8 weeks and he treated me for Vestibular Vertigo. Eye exercises DO help. I've been sleeping comfortably in a recliner for 3 years because I have GERD and hiatal hernia. When I had ovarian-cysts surgery in 2019 they found I have Sleep Apnea, so I snore horrendously. I've yet to get any treatment for that. I'm falling apart, doctor. Lost motivation, lack of energy... feel like I'm nearing my end. Should I be on these fancy medicines?
Hi Vicky it sounds like you have PPPD, on top of the other issues you are having with your health. Im struggling with being pulled to the left and off balance too, with very strange visual disturbances and visual vertigo.
I am 37 and have these medicines too. The same symptoms. I went to physical therapy for 7 months. Which eye exercises helped you? I am so scared to drive
Ever since I had covid the first time I’ve suffered from the exact same things as you! I always feel I’m leaning and Leah farward to brace myself then I’ll get attacks where I lose my vision and eveyrhing is spinning

That's interesting.
I am suffering from anxiety and I can’t even breathe well and starting to shaking so hard also feeling dizzy in the same time ,I don’t know what I should do
Watch more videos on mental health and anxiety. I have been there ‘Therapy in a nutshell’ TH-cam videos will help you alot if you watch them
Oh my god....I've had panic disorder since I was 21, I'm now 46...:(
I've had a few vertigo episodes ..that right away turn into a panic attacks because it's terrifying. My nervous system is totally unregulated and it's clear as day to me.
I go from a flat laying position to trying to sit up and there's no way..the room spinning is too much. I have to do It sloooooowly.
Absolutely worst feeling ever. Soon as I regain the balance when I sit up finally.boom....anxiety starts.😢 Viscous cycle.
That sounds rough!!
I’m so sorry but thank you for talking about it I feel the same way and it helps me to know I’m not alone and I could try to heal from this now I know more about what it is.
I pray you get better too
Im still waiting for a diagnosis for 3 months I have been dizzy, had body aches, chest pain & feeling sick my heart is fine, I have had mri of brain and 24 hour blood pressure and ecg so all fine but still got this horrible feeling daily like I could pass out. I have been in bed with a depressive episode for a long time (feel safe) & know it doesn’t help but I have had zero treatment I just keep getting told to get bloods done every 3-6 weeks as infection and inflammation markers are slightly higher. I keep fearing the worst & don’t want to go out I went for a haircut the other day got all sweaty and dizzy and actually had to tell barber to hurry up I need to go home & feel like I don’t have a life as the last 3 months have been horrible and im still feeling the same 😢
Hello sir im facing exact same problem like barber one i feel extremely dizzy . And i dont go out cuz i feel scared 😢

I'm exactly the same, and I've had tablets for Vertigo, a viral infection I was told, but these are the exact symptoms that I have, and it's scary
@@debbieferguson6386 its so weird, I have been told its physical symptoms of anxiety & depression but yet my doctor does nothing about it 2 months later im still the same, I hope you get some answers 🤗
@leeboslounge1690 Yes, I see the anxiety and depression as it if I'm stressed it makes my heart rate higher, but I took my tablets an hour ago and I feel crappy but I was alright this morning, when I had Saddle pulmonary embolism (Massive blood clots in both lungs) I also had right heart strain and I just wondered whether that's part of the problem
I've had GAD for a long time. With that, I've always had constant dizziness along with it. Had my ears checked and everything in between.(Brain scans as well) I've had been to doctors that gave me a med combo (Usually an AP + SSRi). The big thing I'd always notice is that, my dizziness would almost be gone, while on it. (Maybe just a little residual dizziness but tolerable). It helped about a month before it stopped working completely. I've tried a lot of different meds and have noticed occasionally it would help with the dizziness a lot.
Besides all that, It was nice to know the actual cause for it. I spent years thinking it was 'normal' to feel that dizzy. I also came to figure out I had DPDR which is probably a big reason that I have it. Can anyone else relate to feeling dizzy because of bad anxiety? (If you feel the dizziness comes on from a panic attack or anything that makes you anxious) Maybe this can help someone understand what might be causing there dizziness as well.
I have dpdr too
Hi! Your story seems very similar to mine. I've had chronic debilitating dizziness for months now. I've been to vestibular therapy, vision therapy, upper cervical care, etc. you name it, i've been. I've gotten all the tests done, and everything has been normal. It's so hard to live with and so frustrating that nobody knows how to help. I have also had GAD for a long time, and I actually started taking anxiety meds a few days ago. I'm on Lexapro. The only side effect I'm having is MORE dizziness which has been horrible, but I'm trying to push through because I hope it will help in the long run. Any advice?
@@zitamakai8666 oh man I'm not sure. I tried Lexapro and I had horrible rare side effects so my doctor told me to get off them asap. So I did. I'm not medicated.
@@zitamakai8666 I know when I started an SSRI, I'd deal with the extra dizziness. (Nausea as well) For me, I would take Ginger capsules and just regular motion sickness meds to help. Eventually those side effects went away. I take both of those every day and it seems to work for the most part. You can also start taking half of your Lexapro dose. (Just tell your doctor first) and the dizziness won't be so intense. I had to do the same when I tried Celexa. Hope it works for you.
@@zitamakai8666 get off all the pharma and try Ashwaghanda combined with vitB1 nutritional yeast
Unreal how it helps GAD.!!. Ashwaghanda 800-1209mg /day .
VitB1 yeast is 2 Tsp a day.
Bye bye huge anxiety attacks!
Any health store has this .
when I lay down, i feel like im being pushed off my bed or i feel like im on a boat
Sameee 😭 literally sameee it was sooo scary
@@anikaplayz5521 what's the worst part is that it will never go away completely...at least I think that's my case

I have had consistent dizziness, eye focus and issues with my balance for 3 weeks now, It feels like I'm walking around slightly drunk. Do you think this is could be physical or mental issue?

How do u feel now ?
@@philippeb4126 I have only just started improving 3 weeks later. I've been trying neck massages and to reduce my anxiety and it seems to be helping. Either that or I'm just getting used to the symptoms, I still feel out of it most the time.
@@joebmxx i think it’s stress and anxiety and overthinking just let them go and stay healthy
Bro same here i have the same feeling. Walking like drunk.. Totaly unbalanced.. Its very scary
The other I couldn't even walk. I feel to floor and seemed like this whole house spinning

All of my issues started after a virus but I also have a neck problem from repeated whiplash and lack of curve. I always have ear issues but I struggle with GAD off and on. It definitely kicks up my ear issue when I’m stressed though if I get a cold or allergies I will also get vertigo which can trigger sweating and anxiety. For me, the ear issue doesn’t cause much dizziness unless my anxiety had been bad for awhile. Thanks for this video!
Please help me I feel like floating , while walking sitting how to cure this
So do I lately. But I figured out I'm having anxiety with life. So I try to reduce what stress me up, face and fix my problems (problems don't solve on it's own), and pray and meditate more

Did you find any solution? I am suffering too..can we connect?
Feels like walking on a trampoline.
Super keep it up!!
I wish someone could help me out and give me some sort of idea of what I’m dealing with because my doctor doesn’t care enough. While being pregnant with my daughter (she’s now 11 months old) I had fainted three times.
And since having her I have not fainted but I have felt faint, whether I’m out in public alone or with someone, I feel like it could be anxiety? I don’t know but I just get triggered out of no where, and I feel scared, my heart starts to race, I don’t feel super dizzy but I feel like I am having a harder time breathing, I can’t focus on anything I just go into panic mode and the worst feeling is that I feel like I’m going to faint. I often have to sit on the floor in public and cry it out till I feel better. And often my eyes will go “starry eyed “ and my vision doesn’t go back for like 30 mins or longer… I am so sick of feeling like I’m going to faint and my heart racing the second I leave my house! I’m sick of feeling scared and that any stupid little thing just triggers me like it’s just subconscious thing now… no matter what advice people give me NOTHING helps. Once I’m feeling this way. I can’t get out of it I just have to wait for it to go away! Please help! 😢
10 weeks postpartum and the feeling is exactly the same 😢
Hi Devon, look into cervical ligamentus displacement. Neck issues and posture related strain on the nerves can cause the exact symptoms you’re referring to and it is extremely under diagnosed. There are videos from “caring medical” a doctors office from Florida that have helped me.
My anxiety attacks started when I was 6. But I am now dealing with vertigo. I’m in physical therapy for it. You need to dump your Doctor & get one who cares as soon as possible!

hi i suffer from panic disorder since covid and its been very hard , i even have a little bit of agoraphobia by the panic attacks . its like 2-3 months i feel very very dizzy when i go out during night , i feel a face pressure and tight jaw and my head spins but like in the inside and i feel like im fainting and my legs cant keep me up , every time this happens i run back to the car and get home . im on ssri (paroxetine) at first when i got paroxetine it was okay for 8-9 months , then i decided it was time to get only half of it and after a few months i started again feeling really anxious and i recentrly started again the entire pill but this time it doesnt feel like its working like the start . Please Help Me , im 23 years old and im losing my best years staying all day constantly afraid and i cant do nothing like before , cant even go on holidays or in clubs during night
I’m also 23 with similar symptoms. I just put down $1,000 for a cdl school to drive a truck and make a decent income. But these last few days I feel off balance and almost like I could faint but it never happens. I then get more anxiety and the cycle continues. Sometimes it’ll even happen at a very small scale while laying down ( since that’s when I feel the best ) and I’m not sure whether it’s anxiety, an underlying condition or a combination. I’ve been scrounging Reddit, TH-cam and quora for answers and i can’t find a single one.

Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if we can help any other way.
I really need help, I’ve been dealing with this off balance, swaying, motion sickness, nausea type of feeling for a long time, I recently started having these anxiety attacks since last April and still we can’t seem to find out exactly what’s going on, and till now I still feel off balance and I feel myself swaying sometimes, or if I turn to fast or if I moved my head too much left and right I feel a little motion sickness.

Thanks,very helpful .
Glad it was helpful!
Do stress cause vertigo ?
Absolutely I have GAD and just last week I been off balanced feeling weake and chest pressure I went to the ER all my labs are good, so its anxiety that causes vertigo , drink a motion sickness pill and use one patch behind your ear its efficient for 3 days
I am sorry to hear you are going through this. I am not sure drugs are the answer.

I feel doctors dont wana help us at all.... Its like yea the information is there but idk
Literally thou
Fr I have to agree 💯
Thanks for the feedback!
I have a question so i do have vertigo the problem is it mixed with my anxiety aswell ( and when im in complete relaxation i feel numbness in left or right depends on the day ) i do have pill to combat the vertigo but it just make it worst .
Now im excersicing and honestly its the best it actually helps my vertigo down but i have still the numbness feeling from time to time .
Im confused my doctor is confused he said it might be because you are panicked when you are having you vertigo and i do agree i am waaay panicking the problem is the numbness i feel when i m in bed ( and when i rest my head have too much pillow and make my neck slanted in an uncomfortable possition but that how i get a sleep )
.
Thankyou for any advice
My hand is also having numbness and . Constant swaying feeling bro for me also what to do bro pls tell me
@NithinSpark honestly you can't do anything the only thing i could tell you is do walks everyday it will improve and dont think about the numbness its much more better to make yourself busy and also visit your doctor so he can suggest you to visit the psychologist .
The syntoms can be a long battle it might take weeks months or years, so please be patient with it im lucky mine is going better 3 months having it
@NithinSpark also what i learned that our syntoms are actually pretty common
@@Tinderbox101 u took any medicine or what you did
@@Tinderbox101 for me I can do everything I can workout , I can go long drive bro. Say something to recover bro.
No shade, but its funny to me that this video on dizziness is filmed with a hand camera thats swaying back and forth
Thanks for the feedback

I don't know but I kept doubting that it's anxiety, however sometimes I can't sleep at night, whenever I close my eyes to sleep I feel like my heart is stopping for a moment then I wake up with rapid heartbeats 😩😩 someone to tell me what is this so I can work on it !!!
