Head rush and the split second dizziness right after. happened three times in 3 hours. so scared it's something sinister. could it be anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be anxiety: Yes, anxiety could be causing your symptoms. Panic attacks start suddenly and generally pass within 30 minutes. Symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, severe anxiety, heart pounding, hyperventilation, etc are common in panic attacks. Treatment is possible with a combination of psychotherapy (cbt especially) and medications as needed.
