Dizziness please help!

[caz62]

Please help I've been suffeing of anxiety for the past few months after the loss of my mother, out of the blue on fri I felt very light headed kind of dizzy like I was going to fall over if I never held on to something. It happened out of the blue and I never felt anxious at the time at all, it's been getting worse and today has been really bad. Is this a side effect of anxiety even though I wasn't feeling anxious. I'm seeing the doc but not till next week!!

Please help any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks very much I managed to see the Doc this week after all and she thought it was anxiety also.

Thanks again it reassured me.

  I'm sorry for your loss...
  Possibly you are psychologically refusing to accept it, and experiencing the trauma this way.
  Yes; I would think the Dr. is your best bet.
   I had a tremendous loss once in life and would fall down w/o experiencing dizziness first. There was no warning.
   You'll move through this.

I am sorry to here about your mother it's tough when we lose someone we care about very much and it can make us think about are own mortality. Which can cause us to be very anxious all the time without even feeling like we are. I go through this everyday it's not as bad as it used to be and I am not getting the panic attacks or the dizziness or any of the other side effects like I used to. Just give it time and try to breathe and stay calm. Your going to see your doctor and thats good I am sure he will prescribe you something and it is probably going to take a few weeks for you to get the full effects, so just stay strong you will start to feel better in time.
