ok so i am a big sufferer of HA, constantly live in fear i've got some un-diagnoised terminal illness, my latest fear being a brain tumour. I've been suffering so badly with constant dizziness, it's fine when i'm sat down or lying down, but when i'm on my feet it's awful, also i notice when i room is silent i have ringing in my ears. Been suffering with the dizziness for about 3 weeks, a couple of days ago it went and it was great but today it's back, i went to the doctors last week, he simply said it's labrynitis, but i'm not sure, if it's labrynitis why did it go then come back again? Has anyone else had this or do you think it's yet another anxiety symptom, please help before i go mad?

I was diagnosed with uncompensated labyrinthitis a while back. The ear sometimes can't compensate after the illness. Dahlias advice is very good you know. Go back if it persists.

Hi I have the dizziness had it 24/7 for 6 weeks and mine was caused by anxiety. It does go from time to time, but then does come back I really feel for you as I no how awful and scarey it it. I saw 4 doctors as didnt believe i was causing it myself. Are you taking any mediction?
