Wow I felt like I read my story but it was your's , yes I am currently taking betahistine for a balance problem which is also from my ears , I'm also waiting for a specilaist appt to have my ears looked at , so in the meantime was given betahistine as I'm suffering from extreme vertigo, I am also having trouble sleeping and my heart excels too , almost as if i'm having a panic attack.My Doctor also told me those aren't symptoms noted from this drug, but I believe they are as I've not had a sleep problem until now! I'm also expiriencing awful headaches.Are you?
