Hello
I've had panic attacks and anxiety for more than ten years off and on and have had a good few years without anything, now the past two months they are awful again. They tend to start out of the blue (obvious I know!), but always start with a mild floaty/dizzy feeling then I feel like my heads like cotton wool. I have an immense fear of dizziness, I suffer from BPPV a few times a year, I usually wake up with vertigo or it can come on during the day when it happens, but after the last bout I just can't shake the fear of it happening again. I have a lot of stress going on at the minute which I know is the route cause I just wanted reassurance that someone else might have felt like this at the start of an attack as I want to avoid Dr Google and convincing myself I have true dizziness when I know I dont!! Any responses would be appreciated, I feel very alone at the minute and feel quite isolated.
