lightheaded and tingling

[jojled]

For the past few months I've had a lot of stress with a health concern.  It turned out to be nothing, but it left me anxious about every little "symptom".  Since then, I worry a lot.  Recently, I've had tingling in my fingers occasionally and for the last week I've been lightheaded/dizzy and occasionally feel like I may pass out.  I'm wondering if this could be due to anxiety.  I'm not speaking of panic attacks (although the lightheadedness is similar to what you'd feel in an attack).  I DO NOT have attacks, but, it can be said that my worry is usually in the back of my mind.  Can a low level of worry over an extended period cause these symptoms?  Most sources describe these as symptoms of an attack, but they are short lived.  My symptoms are not short-lived (tingling last for a while, and the dizziness has lasted for 6 days straight!!!!).  Can anxiety/stress do this (even when I'm not thinking about it)?  Thanks for any help!

I feel the same way, dizzy/lightheaded, (caffeine makes it worse)....

It's hard to concentrate, and I sometimes have tingling in my fingers...

I had a panic attack about a month ago and the symptoms have been with me since...

mine lasts all day.  i'm pretty much lightheaded 24/7.  almost like i'm drunk.  i also get weak and shaky some times.  i'm wondering if anxiety can do that.  i hope it's nothing else.  also, i played hockey the other day and i still felt lightheaded afterward, so i'm not sure if the exercise will help me much.  thanks for the advice, though. if anyone else is feeling similar, i'd be interested in knowing.

yea i get mild anxiety throughout the day. but i dont get severe panic attacks really.  i could get quite nervous if i was in a  crowded area .  theres really no day i feel clam

when i wake up every morning and anxiety is there, already dressed and waiting for me.  i love that saying its just how i feel. i know when my eyes open there it is , and its no fun. mine is better but i still have a little and its the tingling of head and ears and hot flashes. than through out the day am tenesed, i try not take anything for it so i deal with the tingling. but yes its a all day thing for me and has been for two weeks, i rather have panic attacks at least they come on and leave where anxiety stays with me . does it last all day for ya or weeks at a time?

Well after about a year of getting anxiety i noticed every evening around 5pm i would get very tired, like the feeling you haven't eaten enough which makes u kinda faint.   Now it comes and goes at various points in the day never missing an appointment.  Not sooo much a dizzy feeling but alittle lightheaded if i get up and walk around.

The funny thing is, i wouldnt have the energy to sit and type at the computer without getting very weak but i could go and run 3/4 miles and i would actually feel better.

So around 6 months ago i figured i would wake up, run 4 miles. eat then wait 2 hours then do weight training then eat wait 2 hours and then run another 4 miles.  but unfortunately  my knee started giving me trouble from over use so now i barely do much running.  

In the end its a pain in the butt anyway cause i cant run everytime i feel bad. i thought if i radically improved my respiratory system i could deal with the physical sysptoms my anxeity was causing.  but in the end nothing i do carries over for the long term. when i wake up every morning and anxiety is there, already dressed and waiting for me.
