According to National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), panic disorder is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. These episodes occur “out of the blue,” not in conjunction with a known fear or stressor.

As noted above, it is not uncommon for individuals experiencing panic attacks to also suffer from dizziness. This unsettling combination can leave people feeling scared and vulnerable, further exacerbating their panic symptoms. Understanding the link between panic attacks and dizziness is essential in managing and treating these episodes.

Dizziness during panic attacks often stems from hyperventilation or an intense surge of adrenaline. Hyperventilation causes a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, leading to lightheadedness and dizziness. The rapid breathing associated with panic attacks worsens these symptoms.

Recognizing the connection between panic attacks and dizziness is crucial for seeking appropriate help. Techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and seeking professional therapy such as vestibular rehabilitation can be beneficial in managing both panic attacks and related dizziness.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan to address panic attacks and associated dizziness effectively. Frequent exposure to dizziness can in turn lead to panic attacks, thereby preventing you from enjoying actvities that you used to participate in. This can also affect your work productivity due to fear of how others will perceive your situation, fear of social gathering, loss of confidence in performing grocery shopping, going to malls, or other age appropriate actvities.
