What Causes Lightheadedness And Anxiety?

Hi there - i have been feeling light headed and quite agitated / anxious recently. I did see my GP who advised that i had high blood pressure but this was probably just because of the Christmas 'excess' of alcohol etc; however the symptoms remain after over a week back in work after Christmas.



Any ideas?



Thanks

Dave

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you go with your GP. You might be having BP. Of course, you are also right. Excess stress can cause anxiety as well as hypertension. This hypertension, if due to stress, could last for around 6 months to one year, if you keep it in check. Exercising, controlling weight and flabbiness, eating food rich in potassium and minerals, fruits, not engaging in trifles and living a peaceful life shall definitely help you bring your BP down. Till then please go with your GPs advise.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
