Hey,
I haven't been on here for a long while as my anxiety has been really good(i.e. Under control). However I now feel terrible and it has come on so suddenly - sort of! For the last 4 weeks I've been getting spells of light headed ess, feeling off balance and nausea. Went to Drs after 2 weeks and he suggested a middle ear thing but just gave me anti nausea tablets as he wasn't sure.
(I had a suspected ear problem back in June where I kept almost passing out with the dizziness but after antibiotics and nasal spray and time it settled down).
Anyway the tablets didn't really help and a week and a half later I went back to Drs (different doctor). She said she didn't think it was an ear problem as it isn't spinning dizziness so suggested she ran blood tests and an ECG. I hadn't noticed any heart issues and I'm pretty sure that I would!!!
Anyway since then I've dived into full blown anxiety mode and now feel constantly awful. Really dizzy, the kind where you feel drunk, cold sweats occasionally and really tearful. The dizziness, nausea and off balance feeling is so real (even when I'm in bed). I went to a walk in centre yesterday but they couldn't find anything either and said to wait for blood results (mid next week).
I just don't feel like I can function and I have two young children. Amyone think this could be inner ear problems (can they see that by looking in your ear)? Or is this something worse? Or just severe panic/anxiety mode?
Help I feel so awful I feel like taking myself to A&E but don't want to be sent away again with no explanation!
Thank you
