That was happening to me too when I first started getting anxiety bouts, could also be your eyes, I was getting headaches and felt off balance before I got a new prescription, good luck!

With anxiety almost anything goes - but it'd be a good idea to see a doctor. You may have an inner ear infection/issue. Also allergies will get me feeling that way whether I have sinus issues or not.

Yes, anxiety can make you feel off balance and dizzy. Do see your Dr though to make sure nothing is going on with your ears or sinuses.
