Do people find stress makes the dizziness worse? I find when I am stressed the dizziness is 50x more intense.

Yes, it can be a vicious cycle. During periods of elevated stress I don’t sleep as well which makes me prone to migraine. Then migraine symptoms stress me out, etc. etc. I’ve found that the best thing I can do to manage my symptoms is to keep my life as smooth as possible – maintain a regular sleep, eating and exercise routine and minimize stressful situations. Easier said than done, unfortunately.

Definitely. My dizziness is at a low level these days but I notice it ramp up particularly when I am rushing to get ready to go somewhere

Note this slightly related Poll: Were you stressed / burnt out when MAV hit?
Stress, not so much. Anxiety - yes. Anxiety instantly increases my dizziness.
I have been fortunate that I don’t seem to be triggered by stress. Now, if I am crying a lot that’s a different story…

It seems to cause my dizziness a lot worse. Whether it’s stress or anxiety I’m not exactly sure. The dizziness happens several times a day every single day.
