I'm a 29-year-old working female and i have EXACTLY the same problem. Even when i don'T feel particularly anxious or nervous, I have that spaced-out, heavy-headed feeling. I'm starting to realize that yes, it is anxiety-related, but it may be that your nervous system is very sensitive to any stimuli, so your body tenses up and you may even be breathing too shallowly (hyperventilating without you realizing it) which in turn creates that feeling. I was told (and am starting to think it's true) that serious, regular (daily) exercise and therapy and relaxation (meditation, yoga, herbal tea)may eventually do the trick.

hey...i used to post here as "aries" but anyhow I'm sooo frustrated i dont even know what to do any more. I've been dealing with this so called "anxiety/panic" for almost a year now but it doesnt make sense to me, symptoms: out of it feeling, shacky, tense, headache,(in other words i just dont feel normal or how i used to feel)...but the really frustrating part of all this is that this feeling is constant, like ALL the Time!!! doesnt go away (unless i have a few too many beers)which i hate to do just to mask something wrong....anyway i'm a 26 y/o male and goin to graduate school, great family, good freinds, but everyday to me since this happened is a challenge and i feel like i'm just fighting something in my body all the time....i'm on Paxil after taking zoloft for awhile, i honestly dont think its workin, the side effects are horrible too, withdrawal even worse.....goin to see the doc tommorow, maybe switch meds....anyhow sorry for goin off like this, i just needed to vent...i dont see many guys here, it might be diff. as a guy goin through this...but as i see we r all battling this together.....
