Avatar n tn Also sometimes my ears feel as if they are underwater and my hearing fluctuates. Are any of these symptoms related to vertigo?
Avatar f tn Try to not get all caught up in your symptoms, because that tends to make things worse. Instead, go after the anxiety. If you succeed, the symptoms should lessen or go away entirely.
Avatar m tn but also because your mind and body are freaking out! Symptoms of anxiety can be very physical. For example when I get anxiety I get wildly nauseous, shakey, my arms/legs go numb, I get hot flashes, and I get vertigo as well. A lot of people describe when they freak out "the walls are closing in on them". Its just your brain freaking out. On another note, you could be experiencing allergies. I get vertigo for fall allergies.
Avatar f tn Yes these symptoms do sound like they can be anxiety. It sounds like you have sought medical advice and someone suggested it was anxiety. You can't rule out something else causing you these problems also. Anxiety is something everyone gets and this makes it all the more difficult to diagnose an anxiety disorder. Thus my usual suggestion .... seek psychiatric help and take it from there. I'm confident you can get help for your symptoms.
Avatar n tn Physiologic vertigo results from unfamiliar head movement (seasickness) or a mismatch between visual-propioceptive-vestibular system inputs (height vertigo, visual vertigo). True vertigo almost never occurs as a pre-syncopal symptom. Pathologic vertigo may be caused by a peripheral (labyrinth or eighth nerve). Distinguishing between these causes is the essential first step in diagnosis or central CNS lesion. What is the direction of associated nystagmus?
Avatar m tn If you got to Europe via airplane, your ears could have gotten buggered up by the pressurized air. This can cause vertigo, which mammo stated, and it often produces the symptoms you're having. But that is just a possibility and I agree with mammo that you should be seen by a doctor. Since you are in Europe, you will not have a problem finding a good doctor. If the country you're in has a consulate from your country, call and ask for the name of a doctor they recommend.
Avatar f tn Hello there, I'm terribly sorry to hear what you are suffering from. It's common for anxiety sufferers to experience dizziness and vertigo but since you haven't done many test maybe we can't blame it all on anxiety. I would suggest seeing a neurologist to rule out other illness. Maybe he will suggest you do some scan like a CT-Scan or MRI to rule out serious illness.
6530778 tn?1456883801 I struggle with this as well. The fact that you posted here in the anxiety forum shows that you either know or suspect you have abnormal levels of anxiety. Your vertigo/dizziness/lightheadedness is almost certainly the result of that anxiety. Try not to hyperfocus on your symptoms. Go after the anxiety and you'll likely take care of the vertigo as well. However, it wouldn't hurt to ask for a referral to a neurologist. He/she may have some ways to help alleviate the symptoms.
957507 tn?1251594207 Hi i dont know if i posted this at a relevant forum, but I cant seem to find the vertigo forum in this site. But anyway, I am a 20y/o male. average built and in a normal condition til a few weeks ago, I felt dizziness and a sense of unbalanceness. Like when I bent down my head then suddenly bring it up in an upward position I feel that everything aorund me is moving, although I dont feel passing out (fainting).
2015596 tn?1329214352 Multiple sclerosis can cause vertigo, but often, other symptoms are present as well. A normal MRI of the brain excludes multiple sclerosis. Thyroid problems can also lead to vertigo. Your symptoms may be consistent with a variant of migraine called basilar migraine. Basically this is marked by several hours of vertigo associated with nausea, light-sensitivity, and sometimes other symptoms. Headache may or may not be present.
Avatar f tn Does anyone else experience vertigo along with anxiety and or panic attacks? I have vertigo all the time since I developed an anxiety disorder.
Avatar n tn I have a heart condition so of course when these symptoms started I immediately thought it was my heart condition, which has made the anxiety worse. I have been suffering w/ vertigo, memory loss, and other things. I have seen 2 cardiologists that tell me my heart condition hasn't changed and these problems are not heart-related. I also saw an ENT, who said my ears do not seem to be the problem either, but has ordered some vestibular testing to be sure.
Avatar n tn Last month I experience my first introducion to Anxiety - I actually had not a clue what was happening. This is common with people who have vertigo seemily. I have got the anxiety under control with help from a therapist. Overall this year as been pretty hard. Has anyone any similar storys to mine? Im just hoping my ENT gives me a diagnosis and I can treat whatever it is.
Avatar f tn Ask to be tested for Celiac Disease, you could have an allergy to Gluten. Pull it up on the web..they are discovering that it may possibly be linked to MS and other disease that could be misdiagnosted. You could try a Gluten free diet and see if you start feeling better...many people have started and some are feeling much better.
Avatar m tn Is it possible to have the physical symptoms of anxiety (muscle aches, feeling of not being totally there, unsteadiness) without feeling anxious? I've been having the worst symptoms lately and got all checked out by a bunch of doctors who keep saying its stress and anxiety. But I haven't really been feeling anxious...can that still be an issue?
Avatar f tn When I had bouts of dizziness it was actually vertigo caused by an inner ear disturbance. I do suffer from anxiety and have noticed that when I am especially anxious I get "funny headed" sometimes. I was taking antivert to deal with the vertigo and it helped quite a bit although it made me sleepy.
Avatar f tn re doing means your actually feeding your health anxiety and providing your anxiety with vaguely similar symptoms to the condition symptoms you've been reading about, and providing your health anxiety something to imply more meaning too....
1211508 tn?1343079605 The idea behind treating the vertigo to decrease the anxiety is not a bad one, however, if the vertigo is solely a symptom of the anxiety...treating the ANXIETY would get rid of the vertigo, not the other way around. See what I mean? Your way of thinking is to treat the anxiety symtpom seperately, in theory it's not a bad idea, but I truly think that if it is caused by the anxiety, addressing the anxiety is the best approach. Not to say you couldn't give it a try.
Avatar n tn Good point! I've had panic attacks for so long, I had to cast my mind waaaay back and recalled that when mine first began, I also had a great deal of dizziness. Mine would happen a lot when I was driving on the freeway which was really spooky. I think it had something to do with the other cars passing so quickly on either side of me........I felt odd, like I was falling backwards. God, I haven't thought of that in years! (Thanks for the memories!
Avatar m tn I have vertigo from time to time too. Apparently it is due to some neck problem. Its strange because I dont really feel anything in my neck but when I move my head woosh the whole world moves. You may want to look up a condition called BPPV, it has to do with little calcium rocks in the ear that make you dizzy when you move your head. Good luck. I know how you feel, vertigo is not a thing just ''to live with''.
7509546 tn?1391696646 What kinds of diagnostic tests were done if any? Can you explain the onset of the vertigo and what symptoms you had? How was the vertigo treated and has it mostly resolved, minus the internal trembling feeling? Did the vertigo cause you to feel very anxious? Do you have any history of anxiety? How old are you? Any other significant medical history? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just trying to gather some more info to better be able to give you some input.
