Hi everyone
I am new to this forum and have been suffering from constant non stop dizziness/floatiness for the past 4 years. Now i have been passed all round the hospital, been for balance tests, postugraphy, mri, lumbar puncture and even done vestibular rehabilitation for a few years. No one ever finds anything. The only one that did, thought it could be migraine associated vertigo but i know that back in my early twenties i suffered panic attacks and was scared to go out at one point.
I would like to know if it is possible that this dizziness could be entirely down to anxiety, i know that on a good dizzy day i am a lot happier and the dizziness seems to get less as the day goes on, i sort of look for it every day and then when i see it is there i sort of dwell on it. Does anyone else have anything similar. I am currently on 25mg of amitripyline and 40mg propananol but that has been prescribed for migraine, which i am not sure that i have. I wondered if i would be better trying an SSRI instead.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Louise
