Suggest Remedy For Frequent Dizzy Spells Due To Anxiety And Panic Attacks

Hi, I have been experiencing frequent dizzy spells. This has been happening for the last 6 to 8 months. I had a couple very big changes in my life happen about a year and half ago that caused me to have a panic attack, then shortly after I now have anxiety. I have been reading about dizziness and anxiety is a common. Is there anything I can do to shorten these episodes or completely get rid of them?

Hi

I had gone through your query.

Panic attack is one of the type of anxiety and dizziness is one of the symptoms of it.

It can be treated with medicines plus behavior therapy.

In medicines SSRI and anxiolytic will help.


SSRI like escitalopram/peroxetine/sertraline will help to reduce further attack and shorten episodes.

Anxiolytic like etizolam or clonazepam will help to control acute attack of it.

Besides this

Behavior therapy or cognitive behavior therapy will help.

Exercise/ meditation/ deep breathing exercise/ hyperventilation can help.

Still if you have query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
