always feel lightheaded and dizzy

Hi I'm 25 female and I have been told by my doctor that i have a panic disorder. I am always lightheaded and feeling dizzy. I feel like I could pass out at any second. This is ruining my life. Im scared to do anything alone. I cant go to a grocery store, mall, nothing. I am too scared that I'm going to pass out and I have tried to overcome it but I cant. As soon as I get into a place I get so dizzy and my vision is all messed up. I get so hot and sweaty and my heart races. I want my life back. I still dont believe that its just anxiety causing all of this. I feel like I have something else wrong that the doctors cant find even though i have had bloodwork, mri, ekg, and they were all normal. I started taking .25mg of xanax once a day. still dont feel any better yet. So if anybody has any help please give it to me. I feel like i have hit rock bottom

Hiya Crysda

Maybe you could try The Lindon Method, it is the only thing that kickstarted any kind of recovery for me xx

Hey Valerie

I gave up alcohol and caffiene and it has helped alot with symptoms..but I just can't shift this dizziness. I finally am able to go shopping, still feel a niggling sensation but not half as bad as it was...but can't find a cure for this light headedness :( I would love for someone to find something to take it away before it completely ruins what life I have left. I just want to go back to work and have my social life back...x

Hi there

Just wanted to say...It was the Lindon Method that helped me to control my anxiety also. It was the only thing that kick started any kind of relief. I just wish now that I could get rid of the light headedness as it makes me feel awful when I am with company and can not focus on what they are saying...I have suffered with it for 8 years nearly and it has ruined my social life..I lost my confidence as I always felt poorly or just not myself...I am still struggling with it now. So you are not alone :)

I know how you feel :( I have suffered constant light headedness and dizziness ...for seven years :(  I have tried everything, had every test and still can not get to the cause. I have changed my lifestyle, my diet everything and still the dizziness and weakness persists...its ruined my social life :(
