will it ever go away? ive made many posts about this before, but its getting me down now-please help ! xxx

Do you feel anxious at all? Anxiety can cause dizziness.

i do at times and get stresed out over things and worry about things. doyou hink it might be this? how can i get out of it if it is? someone else said it might be this to me too xxx

Sounds like it could be. I had this in the past and didnt realise that stress/worry/anxiety can cause these physical symptoms!! Do you notice it less when you're concentrating (like driving or example)? Is it worse when you're in the supermarket or department store where there are loads of bright lights? These were just things I noticed. Definitely go see your GP and ask them if it could be anxiety as it can be treated.

I'm so glad that i found this thread as i've been feeling like this since my LO was born. I lost a lot of blood after my section which went unnoticed by the ward staff until i was actually heading out of the door to go home. Nothing was done about it apart from giving me iron tablets as an afterthought. I stopped taking them 3 days later on the advice of my midwife as they caused awful constipation. I'm heading to the gp next week to see what's going on. I know i'm exhausted and anxious but i'm also worried that there's an anaemia issue there too. Bah, hopefully it'll get better with time.
I really feel your pain, hon and hopefully you'll get an answer and start feeling better soon xx

I was on antidepressants which helped but stopped taking them. I also went to see a counsellor for my anxiety which lifted the heady feeling. It tends to come and go try and keep yourself occupied. Go see your gp who will discuss everything and see what the best course of action is. Hth xx
