anixety or something else

I am wondering if my dizziness is anixety related or if it is realted to the scm muscle...mine is almost like a dizziness inside my head but nothing moves and it happens not everyday only like a once a month and it happens when i move my head and hold it there for a little bit.....last night i got dizziness and my mom had just left on vavacation and i was really axnious about that but i am wondering if thst would cause my to be dizziness or not DOES ANYONE no any information about the SCM muscle in ur neck??? help please

I don't have any information on the muscle, but I do get dizzy A LOT when my anxiety turns to panic. I also get dizzy when I move my head too fast or stand up or sit down too fast. But before anyone can tell you "yea it's anxiety", you should have it checked out by your dr. With anxiety, the dr's like to rule out anything else that could be causing the problem before they diagnose anxiety. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety disorder before? Do you have any other anxiety or panic symptoms? Let us know how everything goes! Take care.

thanks for responding....I do have an anxiety...i have been to a therapist for being soo worried about dizzinesss....and last april i started to feel dizzy..never really spinning...but the dr. told me i had labryhnthisis but then u went to an ENT   a few weekes later and he told me i could have never had labrnyhtisis and he didnt think i had a ear problem. then i went to a physical therepist b/c my neck had been hurting for a while and i had tingling in my shoulder blade. they said my neck was out of wack and it coul dbe casuing the dizziness but they didnt really no for sure....soo like the past 3 months i have been getting this weird dizziness at night and all three times i was anxious but idk if it is directly connected....i hate it soo much it scares me soo much and i just cant live like this anymore.

I too have muscle and neck pain etc. I worry so much i have anxiety. I am dizzy all the time. the more i worry about it, the worse it gets. It may be a little of both. I feel your pain...it's hard to quit obsessing over it.

I just want to no what causes it...to happen soo sparodicly and yet for now it seems like once a month...i really hope its not an inner ear disorder....im soo worried...

I suffer from aniexty and i started out with lightheadness, which is similar but nothing is spinning. I would for sure have things checked out, but if it is aniexty try not to think about it as it will get worse, thats what happened to me.
Good Luck

The dizziness, lighthead, and "spacy" feelings can all be caused by the adrenaline rush we get when we have anxiety attacks. Have you tried relaxation techniques like deep breathing excersizes? Obviously they aren't going to cure anything, but they can help a lot.
