Anxiety-induced dizziness is a very common symptom; it happens because of the effect of anxiety stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. They can cause your heart to beat faster and your breathing to become more shallow, this can reduce carbon dioxide levels in your blood, which can then cause dizziness. Anxiety-related muscle tension and the sensory sensitivity that many people with anxiety experience can also lead to feelings of lightheadedness and unsteadiness.
