How to get over fear?

[Wuboo]

I have a fear of my vertigo attacks which makes feel so anxious and sick. I've had these attacks for 9 years and it never bothered me until now so I keep saying to myself "it passes it will be ok if it happens" but I am so scared of it happening, is there any tips you can give on not being so afraid of them?

Anyone got some feedback, anything would be good?

Its the fear you give to them, that keeps it alive... what causes the vertigo? is it just the anxiety that causes the dizziness? or do you have a condition?

I had an ENT appointment but he doesn't think it's ear related but I am going for a balance test any way. Thanks for the reply.

Dizziness is a big sympton in anxiety, all the adrenaline rushing around... you need to burn off adrenaline, exercise.... make sure you eat small meals but regular... i used to suffer real bad dizziness.. meds can cause it too... you on meds?

Yeah I take Sertraline but the spinning sensation has been on and off for about 9 years, I really don't why it worries me now when it never did before.

What worked for me was eating small amounts regularly throughout the day... and like i say you need to burn off anxiety adrenaline... a walk or some form of exercise is good for you... You can take my 2 dogs out if you like!!!! lol :D
