Guess what?

I had that but also more than that with the ears recently and put a post up about a few symptoms too...

Dr gave me anti biotics saying it was middle ear probs but I didnt think so, so I went to another and he said there is no prob with my ears so I was very confused (I dont normally go to Dr's as I dislike them) and so I went to the hospital for third opinion and they said there was a middle ear prob so I took more anti biotics but the darn thing would never go!

In the end it went when I thought positive and accepted it as anxiety!
I know it was is anxiety and still is as when I have bad days, the ear problems come back :)

Anyway, take the Dr's advice I guess but it may just be anxiety as I have gone from symptom to symptom... I will surely run out of things that can happen soon :)

Anxiety can change and my symptoms certainly have - for example, I NEVER had breathing probs but I have the last month and it is just a phase of anxiety.

Hope that helps

When the Dr said I had labrithitus they prescribed Stemitil which didn't stop it from happening. In the end I was told it was another symptom of anxiety.
Hope you are feeling better soon!!

LOL thats funny really as I am in Australia and in addition to the anti biotics, the last Dr gave me stemetil for the dizzyness as well! Same sort of probs.. I laughed anyway as I could relate[8D]

So similar with many cases of anxiety, we just need reassurance often that it is only anxiety :)
