Can anxiety cause dizziness?
Yes — anxiety can cause dizziness. When you are anxious, your body activates the fight-or-flight response, causing hyperventilation, changes in blood flow, and inner ear sensitivity. The dizziness is real and physiological, not imagined. It typically passes as anxiety decreases. If dizziness is frequent and severe, rule out medical causes with your doctor. Lovon helps you manage the anxiety driving these physical symptoms through grounding and emotional regulation tools.
