Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are a professional body builder and have anaemia also. Lack of proper diet is one of important reasons for the symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness you are having. I'd advise you to start taking multivitamin supplements and this will help to reduce your persisting dizziness. Anaemia is the other reason you are having these symptoms. These symptoms could be occurring due to anxiety which is getting aggravated by anaemia. Get your anaemia treated from a physician and this will improve your symptoms.

Chronic dizziness, lightheadedness point towards anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist for help if symptoms worse. Medicines like Clonazepam, Lorazepam on SOS basis can help to reduce the symptoms. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
