Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Yes, extreme anxiety might present as excess triedness, dizziness etc. However, these symptoms might also have serious causes. So it is advised that you visit a physician and get a work up done. Based on the reports, if anxiety is confirmed as the cause, you might benefit from psychotherapy and medications.
Hope this helps,
