Needs evaluation: Symptoms of dizziness should not be taken lightly. It could be due to anxiety but there could be other pathology that needs ruling out. You need a full blood evaluation and other investigations to decide on the cause.

Evaluation: Anxiety can certainly be associated with many symptoms including light headiness and headaches. Pulse and blood pressure changes can occur with anxiety and can cause the symptoms you are describing. However, you need a good history and physical by a medical professional and if necessary obtain labs and radiographic studies such as CT or MRI of your head if necessary. Good luck
