Relationship Between Dizziness and Anxiety

- On today’s episode, Dr. Nick talks about how being dizzy, or having a vestibular imbalance, can cause anxiety. Vestibular dysfunction is the main cause of dizziness. The vestibular system originates in the inner ear, but then centrally in the brain, the vestibular system connects to almost all the areas in the brain. It connects to areas in the brainstem involved in autonomic control and regulation, the hypothalamus involved with the stress response, and the limbic system governing emotions and memory. When there is a vestibular imbalance, this causes imbalances in these other areas as well. This can lead to a racing heart, sweaty palms, increased stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine, and feelings of distress. Check out the video for more in depth information on how dizziness or a vestibular imbalance can promote anxiety!

@@k.baller5140 same
@@samiiir7090 seriously? Omg.. Are you dealing it with so long... Did you get it after a panic attack? I don't know how much longer I can take this... I can't live like this
@@k.baller5140 yes 11 months so far yea I did.. did a sensitivity food test removed them and I haven’t gotten panic attacks still have the other stuff
I know the feeling it sucks, especially when you think you’ll feel “safer” laying down whenever you feel dizzy, lightheaded, you could actually feel dizzier laying down
Which will go first ? Is it anxiety tnen dizzines? Or the other way around. I have both symptoms
Hello Doctor have you heard of or treated patients with: PPPD? (Which can be a psychogenic dizziness and chronic)
10:49 his anxiety went up. I have constant swaying rocking floating dizziness sensation like I'm a boat 24/7 for months... At first it was tolerable (only uncomfortable when laying down) but now it's reaching a point where it's nauseating all the time... Anxiety is seriously causing all this/messing with my nerves? Like trembling... I can't stand this... And I don't want to resort to antidepressants... I feel so trapped and cornered... Only I can do is suffer
Hi I'm suffering from dizziness and lightheaded must of the time and noticed it gets worse when I'm stressed or in a stressful situation but calming down if you can will make the dizziness a lot better hope that helps you your not alone there us help avaliable
Same
Same. It’s somewhat comforting to know others are going through something similar. You’re not alone.
@@BorealisNight how did yours start? What treatments have you done? How long has it been for you? I'm still suffering
@@k.baller5140 12 months and only recently getting better. However, very slowly. In my experience, nothing works except just letting the symptoms be. Just listen to them through mindful mediation. Take 20 minutes, and just listen/watch/observe the sensations and let them be. Nothing more. Nothing less. Accept them that they will be with you forever. And be okay with them.
dizziness my worst fear when it comes to anxiety
Any tips for people who go through chronic vestibular symptoms due to migraines and therefore become anxious?
Try your best to find a specialist in vestibular migraines so you can hopefully reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines which should give you a probability of reducing your anxiety. Our treatment is based on our evaluation so unfortunately we do not have straight forward protocols for a subset of patients. Best of luck
Hello, why do I keep feeling lightheaded all the time and it increases if I take any stress. Have got an MRI done which is normal so what should be my next step. Do you think I might have anxiety? Please help 🙏
Tilt table, check for orthostatic hypotension
I assume your breathing pattern due to stress.
Did anything helped? I am having same issue
Can this cause unbalanceness
Can anxiety cause the off balance feeling?
Yes it can it happens to me when I'm anxious it's worse or if I'm in a stressful situation it's bad hope that gas helped you
