When i feel anxious i feel lightbv headed like i'm going to black out its really scary. why do i feel this way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common symptoms: of anxiety include light-headedness and/or dizziness. Anxiety causes the body to go into a "flight or fight" response, preparing the body to get away from whatever is causing the anxiety. Heart rate increases, blood supply is shifted to the heart and muscles. Not as much blood reaches the brain resulting in lightheadedness. Slow breathing and heart rate down by taking slow deep breaths.f
