Hi, I get this feeling a lot. My GP thinks it is all related to the anxiety. I do find that it comes and goes and is a lot worse at times of increased stress. It's horrible. Hope it goes soon!

Yep. All day everyday. I think it's mostly anxiety related. You could have vestibular neuritis or bppv too

Yes, I get that way when I'm anxious along with dizziness and light-headedness. They're all classic symptoms of anxiety.

It's fairly common when you suffer from anxiety, it can also be caused by ear infections ! I know of one person who forgot to put one of his hearing aids in and he couldn't understand why he had vertigo and felt tipsy ! The Paramedics took him to A+E and it was there it was found out he had forgotten to put one hearing aid in his ear that was causing it,he had the blooming thing in his pocket!
