I wonder if you feel this way because you are not breathing properly. If you are constantly stressed, it could be effecting your breathing and or heart-rate in which case you won't be getting enough oxygen, which can make you feel this way.

Are your results back?

Just remember to relax when thing are particularly stressful. Step aside from the problem, slowly breathe and clear your mind.

My results are not back. I have two appts this week. Can you feel if you are not breathing right? I am not gasping for air or anything. I don't know what you mean?

Also, I happen to have a stubborn yeast infection. I hope the yeast infection is not causing the lightheaded feeling. My one appt is a gyno appt and the other is with my regular doctor. I would rather the anxiety/stress be causing the lightheaded feeling.

I don't think a yeast infection has anything to do with it. The best thing to do with yeast infections is to starve it. Go on an anti-sweet diet http://altmedicine.about.com/od/popularhea lthdiets/a/candidadiet.htm and eat live active cultures (acidolphilus).

You can be not breathing right even if you are not gasping. You could be breathing more quickly true, but also sometimes people "forget" to breathe. You may stop breathing for a few seconds and then follow it by a deep intake of breath or sigh. You may not even realize you are doing this. It's hard to notice what you are doing and catch yourself doing it because you are not as likely to be able to catch yourself in the act if you are paying attention.

Thank You so much Mominashoe. That link is very useful. I definitely will have to do a major diet change. I just wish I was one of those women that do not have any problems with yeast. I understand what you said about the breathing. I am upset with myself because I should of been more aggressive in treating this when I first got it. But I did try and then I gave up. And then I tried again. And I gave up again. And here I am years later with the same yeast infection. That's why I joined this forum. I'm getting better answers here than I do with the ignorant doctors. The only reason I thought that the lightheadedness could be a result of the yeast is because of the length of time I've had the yeast infection. I have had it since 21. And I read somewhere online that systemic yeast can cause lightheadedness. But you never know what to believe. The link you provided me with states that the symptoms of candida overgrowth in the intestines. I only have one of those symptoms. Well thanks again Mominashoe.

i too have issues with yeast. god - 10 years i went with CONSTANT trouble. Drove me mad!

Anyway - the breathing thing. Yes you can forget to breathe (seems daft but it happens).

Another thing i catch myself doing is only taking tiny breaths. Once you're aware you're doing it you can catch yourself and put it right.

When you're breathing regularly, i fancy you're only taking air into the very top part of your lungs. You can tell if you take a few slow breaths... right down so that your tummy sticks out full of air.

and here's a useful night time thing for you. It's called 7/11 breathing. Breath in for the count of 7 - breath OUT for a count of 11. You'll be amazed the calming difference it makes.

Hi, I am 38 years old man and for the last week I had those spaced-out feeling...lightheaded...its driving me nuts, its like I do not see things the same way I would see normally...! Am I going nuts ??? I had blood work done, chest x rays...everything seem to be fine...is it due to stress, I had some lately...
Thanks
Phil

i have felt the exact same thing so dont worry about it sooner or later it will pass. I would recommend learning breathing exercises and this may sound corny but just go outside and walk around it does WONDERS! it clears the brain and gives you more energy. Keep taking the vitamins and 3 meals. I started getting lightheaded and almost feeling dazed and my brain felt foggy but after exercising it helped alot. Hope this helps!!

I have felt bad for years. I think a system yeast infection. Very similiar symptoms. Very hard to get rid of.

im 17 and have been experiancing anxiety really bad. I recently stopped smokin cannabis ( about 10days) and the withdrawals are really bad. Although, its not just withdrawals that are causing me to feel anxious, i just feel emotional, worried (as if something is really terribly wrong with me!) but the more you think that something is wrong, the more it makes your body and mind start to become really down or rather depressed. What you have to remember is its all in the mind and you have to find ways to over come the anxiety. I find that drinkin herbal tea and taking herbal medicines really helps me, although its different for all sufferers. You can try your GP if it really is too bad. But my doctor, in my opinion is getting rather fed up of all my trips to her, (about 3 times a week!!)

I have many issues. Anxiety/depression is one. Muscle weakness, Thyroid is low. Head pressure,
I have also used cannabis. I think it is because my nervous system is being attacked by yeast. I am not sure how the pot has effected it.
