A member asked:

Can anxiety make you feel like you are going to drop for only like 1/2 a second? i get a droopy/heavy feeling real quick sometimes. anxiety or worse?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely anxiety: That would be an unusual anxiety symptom in isolation. It could represent a number of things. I recommend that you start with your family doctor and that your BP be checked sitting and standing. Also, possibility of cataplexy needs to be considered. Again, get an exam by your family doctor and ask that further testing be done. It could be any of a number of things.Best wishes.
