So yesterday I went to sit down quickly on the carpet on my backside.

My head pressure and dizziness symptoms (autonomic nervous system dysfunction I guess?) went crazy a short time later and today are even worse.

I feel drunk. Why is this happening? I know its possible to be concussed by falling and landing on your tailbone but Its not like I fell on my butt, I just dropped down quickly on it to sit on the carpet.

I've been tracki my heartrate most of the day
And even at 61 BPM i still feel horrible.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just experiencing an anxiety response to cause these symptoms or have I officially lost my mind?

Really trying not to think it's not a big deal.

I'm sick of living like this.

Hi guys,

I'd really appreciate some insight. Why does our head pressure and dizziness flare up just from sitting down on the floor quickly?

Can be lots of things....Hows your blood presser?
We have crystals in our ears that out of place cause dizziness.
From my accident I have equilibrium problems.

I can be laying in bed then get dizzy often, been like that for me for 14 years

My heart rate is only 66 at the moment and I feel drunk. I've felt dizziness and head pressure and dysautonomia for days now at various heart rates simply from sitting down quickly to relax on a carpeted floor, not even a hard landing.

Up until last Thursday, I was making slight progress with sub symptom threshold walking exercise (a joke, considering i used to be an athlete)now im back to square one again.

4 years of this loving hell. No answers, no treatment, no help. Nothing.

Stop checking your heart rate and looking for symptoms. If you look for symptoms, they will appear. The mind can make up symptoms from memory. It is called a flashback. If you encourage them, they will get worse.

I honesty wonder if claims of dysautonomia are psychogenic or psychosomatic. I notice that only people with anxiety struggles have claimed such a diagnosis.

Backpacking off of what Mark said, I have Dysautonomia and anxiety but I can confirm they are separate things . That being said, one can make the other much worse. If you want to heal from Dysautonomia, you mustn’t only treat it as an anxiety disorder, and if you want to improve your anxiety, you must conquer the underlying disorder health wise that’s making you anxious
