hi could you tell me wot vertigo is as i get this same feeling i feel like im in a dream all the time and when something is going past me i feel like im moving with it. i can go in a supermarket and walk dwn the aisle and i feel like the floor is actually moving and i aint its like im on a esculator and it effects my balance i too have been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for 5 years.ive had my blood pressure checked out and thats fine.x

surely if it was vertigo it would happen all the time not just when Im in big cities or crossing busy roads etc??

Read about phobias here but whats the difference between fearing a tall building and fearing the symptoms of fear ,surely they are the same

yeah I get that sensation when I'm up on top of mountains etc...sounds like vertigo. But you've made it specific to cities...you've thought about it until its formed an association and become a trigger for you. Only way to conquer it is to go to town and be strong...Feel the fear and do it anyway. Stand on a street corner and do diaphragmic breathing until you relax. Force yourself to look up and know that you are safe. Panic will always subside after the initial surge. You can do it.
