Does Anyone Suffer From Anxiety With Lightheadedness? If So, What Helps?

I get really lightheaded (almost passing out) which is caused by anxiety attacks I guess. I'm on lorazepam, but does anything else help lightheadedness?

    I've suffered from anxiety/panic attacks for several years and now have it under control.  How is your blood pressure?  My was always high which usually increases your heart rate which feeds the anxiety.  Once I started taking the blood pressure medicine Metorolol (Lowpressor) my anxiety/panic attacks/elevated heart rate virtually disappeared. So what I'm saying is I think your heart rate may need to get lower so you feel better.  The Metoprolol really takes the edge off and has a great calming affect.

      Yes I have this too. And bad..  Keep on your meds, and when you feel an attack, try to lie down or at least sit down, if possible.  This happens to me in busy stores like walmart etc where there is a lot of people and noise etc.  Sometimes I have to grab ahold of something, like a shopping cart, and just lean over and close my eyes a minute.  As best as you can (LOL) try to avoid situations that cause panic, or at lest have some one with you to help you if you do pass out.  This is miserable I know and I shake all over- so bad I cannot write legibly anymore.  God bless.

        There are many different meds for this and if you feel that the one you are on isn't doing the job then talk with your doctor about switching it to something else.
