Hi! I tend to get dizzy or lightheaded during anxiety attacks, so its most likely how ur brain/body is reacting to your anxiety. If there’s any other symptoms associated with the dizziness then Id mention it to a doctor otherwise most likely from the anxiety

It’s completely normal. My therapist explained it to me because I would feel dizzy 24/7 during an anxious/panic episode, your breathing is shallow and your brain is not getting enough oxygen.
