What Is The Cause For Dizziness & Heart Racing With Anxiety?

Every morning I wake up with my heart racing, dizziness, and my eyes have trouble focusing. I do have anxiety so I am sure that might be a part of it. I take only Xanax for my anxiety when needed (half of a .25 pill) and it helps. I tried taking Zoloft. But the first dose I took made me feel very angry, with negative thoughts and very spacy. So I didn't continue to take it and am scared to use anything besides Xanax for when I do get anxiety. Could there be something else going on, an underlying health issue causing this every morning when I wake up

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

This is part of anxiety disorder. In that case, you need antidepressant that could control such kind of attack. If you have problem in using sertraline, you can try paroxetine. It is one of the best antidepressant which has very good role on anxiety disorder. You can also try some relaxation exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
