What Causes Dizziness And Nausea?
Since yesterday, I have been light headed, dizzy, and nauseous with shortness of breath and a stomach ache. It felt very similar to a panic attack, and when I visited a wellness clinic I was told that my vitals were fine. I felt better, but the symptoms partially returned when I ate cake and ice cream last night (for a birthday) and then again today when I had lunch. Although I do have a history of anxiety, I m not sure if I can attribute the symptoms to that this time.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider a food diary to note if there are specific foods that are causing this reaction to occur or if they are ingredients in common with each other.
If this is the case, then you may be intolerant to these foods but if the foods are not similar then it may be your anxiety.
I hope this helps
