Dizzy: This can either mean you feel light-headed or you have vertigo. The first is more common and may be related to positions (othostasis) and hydration during your workouts, or to anxiety. Vertigo however usually involves a sense of rotation of you around the environment or vice verse, or a sense that the ground is coming up to meet you. If the latter, see a doctor ASAP.

Dizziness: Your medications may be causing some of your symptoms. Inderal (propranolol) lowers your blood pressure by slowing your heart rate, which makes it difficult to strenuously exercise. But it is a good medication for anxiety, so do not abruptly stop it. Work with your doctor to put you on a good weight loss regimen of mild exercise, a healthy diet, and better control of your GAD symptoms.
