Hi everyone,
I have suffered from anxiety since my teens. I also have chronic health anxiety. 7 months ago I developed positional vertigo (ear crystals dislodging into semi-circular canals). I treated it with the Epley Maneuver but I have felt dizzy constantly but at the time time, I constantly thinking about being dizzy! Now, I don't know if I am stuck in this loop.
Today, I went back to the audiologist because I developed tinnitus and my ear feels full at time. There is nothing wrong with my ears at all. They can't find one thing! I also have hyperacusis which is also from an unknown cause since according to the doctor, my hearing is bionic.
So, I was treated with the Epley Maneuver today and while I lay back on my back I felt like I was about to spin but I was also anxious. As soon as I calmed my brain down with my thoughts, I was ok. So, this leads me to believe anxiety is now keeping this going. But, when I got home, I felt really dizzy and I keep feeling like I am being pushed forward which then causes me to panic. It's almost like when you are drifting off to sleep and you get a jolt, except I am getting them awake.
Is this an anxiety symptom?
