Question 1

if ears have checked out ok could anxiety make you feel off balance when sitting and standing even when on toliet i take 20mg of celexa (citalopram)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anxiety can cause nearly any physical symptom.  Also it can make you interpret any physical sensation as a serious medical problem.  Dizziness/unsteadiness is certainly one of the experiences an anxious person may have -- and can feel more intense because of worrying.  Your primary care doc can check your blood pressure for orthostatic changes & during bearing down motions as on toilet.

Question 2

i've been in bed for a month cause i've been off balance and no dr knows what's wrong. walking gives me anxiety. would laying around linger imbalance?

Accepted Answer

Exactly 1 month?: Did you start to feel "off balance" before or after you became bedbound?  Lying in bed excessively will cause deconditioning to occur in several different bodily systems including the vestibular or "balance system" so the longer it takes to figure this out the worse your equilibrium could become.  Have you seen a neurologist?  Are you anxious walking due to fear of falling or passing out?

See doctor.: Anxiety and balance issues may or may not be related. Anxiety is a very treatable condition and you need to see your doctor, perhaps for referral to a psychiatrist to handle this problem.
