A member asked:
Can anxiety cause dizziness, lightheaded-ness? feeling kind of faint? can a cold also bring on some of those feelings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, multiple causes: Anxiety can cause a multitude of physical symptoms, including those you've described. A cold generally starts with other kinds of symptoms like stuffy nose and sore throat, but if the congestion gets into your ears, dizziness ; lightheadedness can result. Many other possibilities as well, including xanax (alprazolam) use. Hoping you're working with a psychiatrist on your anxiety issues that you listed also.
