What Causes Lightheadedness And Floating Feeling With Vision Problems?.

Hi. I am a 16 year old female and seen to be having problems with either my brain, sensory system, or simply anxiety. I have recently been having the feeling that my brain may not be in sync with my body. I have feelings of light-headedness and a sort of floating feeling. I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen sometimes but try to push past that with a few deep breaths. There have also been times where my vision has been affected by these episodes . I do NOT do any kind of drug or partake in alcohol use. I have a history of major depression but never of anxiety. I like to think of myself as a pretty layed back person in general. Can someone try and explain to me why I may be feeling this way

My dear friend all your symptoms currently with a past history of depression suggests to me that now you are having generalized anxiety disorder. Kindly visit your psychiatrist soon as anxiety can also lead to depression. One more thing get your thyroid function tests done as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can also cause symptoms of anxiety.
