Anxiety Disorder Sign #6: Lightheadedness
Lightheadedness is an unpleasant sensation where one feels dizzy or faint. It can be a short term, chronic, or recurring issue. Causes of lightheadedness are often due to the shortage of blood or oxygen to the brain. This can occur if the patient is dehydrated, has low blood sugar, is hyperventilating, is experiencing panic attacks, has anemia, and more.
It is also often seen in cardiovascular or respiratory issues. The treatment and management for lightheadedness will depend on the underlying cause. It may involve staying hydrated and maintaining a normal blood sugar level.
