Can Anxiety Cause Dizziness?

January 31, 2022 by Justin Arocho, Ph.D.

can anxiety cause you to feel dizzy?

Feeling Dizzy

Dizziness is both common and uncomfortable. When you experience dizziness, you might feel lightheaded, woozy, or unsteady. This is not the same as feeling as though things are spinning or moving, which is called vertigo. The terms dizziness and vertigo are often treated as though they are the same sensations, but they are different. Dizziness refers to any feeling of lightheadedness or like your balance is off.

Why You Can’t Sleep, and 15 Fixes Not to be Missed

September 5, 2015 by Justin Arocho, Ph.D.

From time to time, most people find themselves muttering (or screaming) at 4:00 a.m., “why can’t I sleep?!” For some, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep can even become the norm. This is called insomnia — upsetting, disruptive, and a way of life for some. Insomnia can include trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or not getting restful sleep at least three nights per week. (Trouble falling asleep is defined here as taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep. Trouble staying asleep is defined as being awake for more than 30 minutes during the night.)
