I cannot offer any help but I can offer a welcome and hope that you find some friendly advice here. I wish you all the best.

Thankyou it's hard to explain how I feel just wanted to know if my symtoms could be caused by stress and panic that's what 4 doctors told me but symtoms are so strong it's hard to belive stress and panic could be the cause

[Baggs]

Well, if 4 different Docs have told you the same thing then I would tend to believe them. I've only ever had one full-blown panic attack but by golly I thought I was dying. Stress can cause massive effects.

I don't know about the brain vaults but I have experienced extreme dizziness through panic. Before I began having full on panic attacks and therefore recognised my anxiety I used to have these awful episodes of dizziness....I now recognise that they were anxiety related. I am no doctor so I don't know if your symptoms are stress/panic related but just wanted to offer my experience.

Have you heard of something called Labyrinthitis? It affects the inner ear and can cause all sorts of terrible symptoms for rather large periods of time! This may be something to look into.

As others have said, if 4 doctors have told you the same thing then it's unlikely they're all wrong. I know that it's very hard to believe them when you are experiencing such horrible, life altering symptoms, but the only chance any of us have to get through this is to trust their judgement. Remember that they see many many patients every day whose experiences simply add to the wealth of knowledge that they have acquired through several years at med school.

I'm struggling to believe FIVE different GPs just now as I've been suffering with horrendous chest discomfort for weeks now, so I know how hard it can be to accept a diagnosis of anxiety, but know that you're not alone. x
