I suffer anxiety and panic attacks. I have often had dizzy spells, I used to have low blood pressure so that gave me dizziness, and I have had ear infections giving me vertigo/bppv.
However, this dizziness comes and goes and has done for several years. It doesn't feel like any other type of dizziness and it freaks me out. Whenever I speak to a doctor they say 'were you feeling anxious?' And just assume it's my anxiety. But it feels like it's getting worse. More regular and more violent. The only way I can describe this dizziness is like the floor suddenly drops or I get hit on the head with a bat or something. Everything suddenly goes whoosh and I feel like I'm going to fall over. A couple of times it has been noticeable to other people because I've had to brace myself or have ducked. It doesn't last long but it terrifies me. One day I'll be driving with my kids or something and I hate to think what could happen.
Is this kind of dizziness common to anxiety? Or do I demand more from the doctors?
Thanks guys xx
