The link between anxiety and dizziness is a complex and often misunderstood connection. Many people who experience anxiety often report feeling dizzy or lightheaded as part of their symptoms. This can be a result of several factors, based on the concept that dizziness and anxiety overlap with respect to space motion sensitivity (SMS), space motion discomfort (SMD), and space motion phobia (SMP).

One possible explanation is that anxiety triggers a stress response in the body, causing the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline. These hormones can lead to changes in blood flow and blood pressure, potentially resulting in dizziness.

Additionally, anxiety can manifest through hyperventilation or rapid breathing, which can disrupt the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. This imbalance can cause feelings of dizziness or lightheadedness.

Furthermore, anxiety can also contribute to muscle tension, including those in the neck and shoulders. This tension can affect blood flow to the head and potentially lead to dizziness.

It's important to note that dizziness can also be a symptom of other medical conditions, so it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying causes. According to the article published in The Laryngoscope (August 2023); Association of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo with Depression and Anxiety—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, results show that BPPV was associated with a 3.19 increased risk of anxiety compared to controls, and 27% of BPPV patients suffered from anxiety.

Managing anxiety through techniques such as deep breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and therapy can help alleviate symptoms of dizziness. If you experience persistent or severe dizziness, it is always advised to seek medical advice for a comprehensive evaluation.
