Can anxiety make you feel dizzy and out of it and cause headaches?

I went to the doc for headaches and dizziness… doc seems to think its anxiety and stress… he prescribed me an anti-depressant.. anyone else had this done for those symptoms?

Absolutely, anxiety and stress can cause these symptoms! The very first thing that happened to me before I started experiencing panic attacks were strange bouts of dizziness for no reason. In addition, I started getting random headaches and general body aches for no reason.

When I worked through panic/depression with medication the first time, the random pain went away. However, after stopping the medication it came back but not as severe.

Now, I exercise and eat better as well and it certainly helps. There are herbal alternatives for anxiety/depression such as St. John’s Wort, Valium root, etc. Most of these items can be bought at a local department store.
