Just wondering for those of you with dizziness, do you notice the dizziness more during certain times of your cycle? I have a pretty strong pattern of having the dizzy spells kick in almost exactly a week before my period starts, especially during the warmer months...anyone else notice this pattern?
I still don't know if my dizziness is strictly a symptom of my anxiety or if I'm actually having vestibular migraines (which I realize are also brought on by stress). I often have headaches around the same time, but not always. Plus, I have a fullness in my ears (both) and sometimes get fuzzy-headed. Dr seemed unsure of that idea, but then after all my other fears (ms, graves disease, diabetes, brain tumor) I'm sure she just wanted me to be satisfied with some explanation.

Well that is interesting--its so great to find people with symptoms like mine! I also have a morning or two right before my period where I wake up at like 4 a.m. totally anxious.
What is "KWIM"?
i dont get dizziness with my panic attacks either, but the week before my period my body plays some weird tricks on me! i don't sleep well, i get shaky, i get dizzy and the unreal feeling. i think as persons with anxiety we're just a little more sensitive than the average individual to these physiological changes that every woman goes through, ya know what i mean?
i also get hot flashes the week before even though im only 25! yikes.

I have massive allergies and ringing in my ears!
My ears are so blocked up wometimes I cannot hear!
It makes me off balance and that gives me anxiety-
It is very annoying and frustrating because nothing
I do stops it!
Take care all Judy
