I have been a worrier all my life and after i went to the doctors in april they told me i had a little fluid in my ear and it was prob. from allergies but they doctor before them told me i could get vertigo b/c i had labryinthis. so this freaked me out sooo much and so now i have become soo scard that i willl be dizzy that i cant even leave the house and its really bad and scary. i went to see a therpist which is helping a little. and i also went to An ENT. an he said that there was no way the doctor could have dignosed me with labryithtis. and he said i didnt have any of the symptoms of vertigo or bppv. but im stilll feeeling werid everyday like when i move or walk and stufff and i am wondering if anixety about being dizzy is causing me to feel this way. its weird its not spinning but it almos feels like im going to and like when i move a lot i feel like im gunna get dizzy. really worried please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Anxiety.

i'm 14 and i've had anxiety for 3 years, to start with i wouldn't leave the house, for the worry of feeling dizzy or fainting, its taken me 2 or 3 years to realise that its not going to happen! how many times have you just randomly felt dizzy and fainted, for me, it was none! i have an anxiety of hospitals/illnesses and that. at one point i couldn't leave the village, without having a panic attack, now i can go on small holidays a couple of hours away! Smile

dont you worry it'll get better. Its all a vicous circle, you feel anxious about being dizzy, so you breathe quicker, which makes you dizzy, then you think oh no im going to faint, so you feel even more dizzy, nothing will happen and just remember that if you feel panicky, it will subside, just takes a while (: good luck, and going to a therapist might help, helped me ALOT.
