Hi Frank,

Not nice what you are going through, especially as your GP seems to be unhelpful too. I cannot believe a GP would let you feel like this for 4 years without doing something about it. Does he know how you really feel? Anxiety can cause some dreadful effects and it is good that you are remaining positive and trying to push on with things as we do need an element of push where anxiety is concerned.

I would go back to your GP and ask about some therapy and as Sue says the Claire Weekes books are excellent at giving you an understanding etc and may help whilst you wait to see somebody.

I do hope you feel easier soon, but you can keep posting on here as there is alot of help and advice available to you.

Take care. Let us know how you get on.

Jo.

Has your doctor thoroughly checked you over? Your balance problem may not be anxiety at all but an inner ear virus called Labrynthitus which my mother in law had. It caused her to suffer dizzy spells which really frightened her

thanks for your support i think im going to , he give me some tablets carn't rember what they called now they were to treat depression, anxiety and virtigo they were 5mg i took 3 times daily for 10 days he said it would come back over and over again anyway espcially if i had cold and flu ive been for all the tests never had inside me ears checked maybe i need to get them looked at but everythink is working fine and it makes me feel tired alot.

heya Frank, I find excercise does help..basically it raises your endorphines and makes you feel better. Start off slow though it will take about 2 weeks before you notice a significant difference.

lindor is right though first of all go and get your ears checked as they can cause balance/dizziness issues.

Good luck!
