Dizziness

[Megs64]

For over two yrs Iv been dizzy and off balance its getting worse I'm scared now to go out in case I fall they say it's labyrinthitis im so fed up and down now any one else out there suffering

Hi megs64, labyrinthitis is very difficult for doctors to diagnose as it is very similar to dizziness caused by anxiety. The way to find out for sure is to get some Serc tablets prescribed by your doctor, if you don't feel dizzy any more it's labyrinthitis as that's what Serc are for. If you still feel dizzy it's probably not labyrinthitis but anxiety. Take a tranquiliser, if the dizziness goes away it's certainly anxiety.

I did try serc but they didn't agree with me,I'm now on cinnarizne,sometimes they work sometimes they don't, I get buzzing in my ears like Iv a head full of cotton wool it's been awfull

I know it's a bit drastic if like me you like salt but cutting out salt can in many cases cause ear problems. Worth a try for a while.

I have had dizziness lately. It started with positional vertigo. The more anxious I have become with it the more off balance I feel. Do you feel like you are still moving when you sit still or try to lie down. I also get the buzzing in my head and at times it feels like I am vibrating, it is awful. I didn't really notice any of this when I had the initial dizziness, I feel like it has gotten worse since I am anxious. There are days that I think is this ever going away. I do get some pains in my ears at times.

It all seems familiar to me I dread wake ng up each day idread the days i have to go out. And as for crossing a road it fills me with terror , only because I'm fearful of falling,I'm a widow and live allone in tears most of the time, I'm taking cinnarizne which is an antihistamine supposed to help with this but sometimes it does and sometimes it doesant

It's reassuring for me to chat to someone about this Iv felt so dreadfully isolated with this and alone
