I always get dizzy cos of the anxiety and the past week its got really bad,
dizzy everywhere all day. Then today my ear starts hurting alot, so i popped into the chemist for them to check it for me and got told I have an ear infection , then had to see gp and he said I have an ear infection in each ear (which explains the dizzyiness) and he asked why had i let it get so bad and not come sooner ??? to which i replied , cos i didnt have alot of ear pain and Im always really dizzy. How can we tell the difference between dizzy anxiety and dizzy ear problems ?

So just wanted you to know the chemist can check your ears for you .

Tricky one! I get dizziness all the time and i guess i just always presume its my anxiety. If my ears hurt then i may think its something else! All i know is that feeling dizzy is a pain in the bum!

I often wonder this, but i suppose its when other symptoms arise and you just 'know' you have to get it sorted.
Hope you are feeling better soon,
