Extreme Dizziness?????

[nanzy23]

Hello.
I have posted here a few times but just to give you a heads up, here is my story.
I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder with mild agorophobia back in Jan 2005. Since then i was prescribed XANAX 0.5mg. I was taking these tabs in 1/2 quantities and 5 halfs a day. Then i fell pregnant July last year and was told i had to get off these tabs, by weaning off them. So i changed to 0.25 mg and slowly weaned down to eventually a 1/2 tab a day. I had my baby almost 2 weeks ago and so far so good. The only thing that i experienced in my pregnancy and since having my baby is extreme diziness and headaches every day. I am constantly thinking to myself that i might fall over or pass out bcoz i feel just so dizzy. This brings on my anxiety etc as i get scared to hold my baby in public etc incase i get the dizzy sensation and then panic etc.
Has anyone else had this before? I am thinking of going back to my GP and seeing what he thinks. As its scary feeling this dizzy. Especially when i have done so well to get on top of my anxiety and now it keeps returning with the dizziness. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I suffer from panic attacks as well for the past 4 years i find drinking alcohol and that hung over feeling the next day brings them on for me hence i haven't had many drinks in that time hahaha. A little while back before i fell pregnant with my second child i was at work on the computer and looked up and everything went black from then on for about 6 weeks i would get really dizzy and have blurred vision and feel unsteady and like i was going to faint. the dr sent me for brain scans heart scans and all sorts of things the couldn't find anything wrong it turned out that my inner ear had small hairs brushing on my ear drum and it was throwing my balance off????????????????
it stopped as quickly as it started and hasn't returned that was Jan this year i am now 23 weeks pregnant with Baby Chloe and haven't had a problem since.
I would go and see your Dr though to make sure you don't have any other problems.
Hope that helps

Hi i also suffer from pain attacks and anxiety. I came off my meds in Jan this year but have since started them again the last 3 weeks.

I also suffer from the dizzyness feeling. Its horrible. I try to ignor it but that feeling of 'oh god im gonna pass out here' its not a nice one.

When you feel like this do you feel distant? Like your vision is all weird? That happens to me.

But just to be on the safe side id go talk to your doctor about whats happening just so he can give you a prfessional opinion.

Good luck with it :o)
