VERTIGO AND DIZZYNESS

[joy]

Anybody suffer with vertigo and dizzyness or lightheadness with their Dyspraxia especially when under stress or pressure that leads to anxiety or panic attacks.

I do get dizzy moments but didn't think it was related to dyspraxia necessarily.

I get some weird things with my perceptions - not sure you would call it vertigo though...means I have issues with curvy voids! Know that sounds really odd, but I can't walk on a spiral staircase easily or go for a walk on a cliff if the curve of the land is too extreme or the track isn't flat. Also when I'm really tired I find it difficult to walk down any steps without gripping firmly to the handrail!

Ah, that stair mention reminds me that when I look down on some stairs while I'm walking down them I can go dizzy and my eyes merge the steps so I have to be extra careful going down them.

The vestibular system controls the sense of movement or balance,as well as auditory functions ,muscle tone ,balance and proprioception and can affect you by
Dizziness or nausea caused by watching things move.
Problems with balance (STATIC OR MOVING )and vertigo.
Difficulty walking on uneven ground
Excessive watching of things spin,or excessive spinning of self.
Motion sickness
Avoidance of merry go rounds ,big dippers and other fast moving rides
Avoidance of head movement
Avoidance of movement except when absolutely necessary

If the Binocular function is impaired you may experience difficulty of going downstairs ,poor eye hand co-ordination,unable to re-establish from near point to binocular vision resulting in eyes going out of focus and poor copying skills ,I would also say black and white patterns ,moving escalators,heights, and in some cases lifts can all affect you causing dizziness and light-headedness, these are only a few that can affect Dyspraxia and may cause anxiety or panic attacks because of them.
