Anxiety motion sickness feeling is commonly described as feeling dizzy, lightheaded, faint, off balance, unsteady, that the room is spinning, that you might faint or pass out, or that you might fall over. This feeling is often equated to motion sickness, including severe motion sickness.
Anxiety motion sickness might also feel as though you are walking on a boat on water, that the floor beneath you feels unsteady, that your head is spinning, that you are lightheaded and dizzy, or that it’s hard to keep your balance.
You might also have difficulty looking at objects that are moving in front of you because they make your head spin and feel dizzy.
It might also feel like your eyes are wobbly or that things around you are moving, vibrating, or shimmering.
In some cases, this motion sickness feeling may seem that even though you are standing on a firm surface, it may be vibrating or moving; the room may appear to be moving, rocking, or swaying; or the surroundings around you seem to be moving, shaking, rocking, or vibrating.
This feeling can upset your stomach like that of experiencing true motion sickness.
This symptom can also be experienced as a dizzy lightheaded spell that is like having a sudden feeling of being dizzy and/or lightheaded that then disappears.
Motion sickness ‘spells’ can come and go suddenly, come and linger, or come and persist for some time. This symptom and/or ‘spells’ might occur rarely, frequently, or persistently.
Anxiety motion sickness can also be characterized as having severe ‘episodes’ of dizziness, lightheadedness, and feeling like you are going to fall over that come and go or ease off only slightly. Some people describe this feeling as coming in ‘waves’ where it’s severe and then somewhat diminishes.
People who experience the anxiety motion sickness symptom persistently still can notice increases and decreases in severity associated with ‘waves’ or ‘episodes’ of intensity. Sometimes the intensity can increase for an extended period of time, such as days before the severe nature of it decreases again.
Some people experience episodes of this motion sickness feeling in association with an increase or decrease in their anxiety and stress, whereas others experience persistent dizziness regardless of an increase or decrease in their anxiety and stress.
Anxiety motion sickness can occur briefly every once and a while, frequently, or 24/7. This symptom can vary in intensity from slight, to moderate, to severe.
All variations and combinations of the above are common.
