When I'm in up right posture or standing I'm in a constant battle with my heart rate. Could this be due to my ears? I'm more at ease laid down when I'm up I can't stay still feels as though I'm falling. But when I'm walking around my legs shake my heart races I go all out am always dizzy

It sounds like it could be POTS. I would recommend you see your doctor.

I developed similar symptoms over the last year. I’d had anxiety for years but it had never manifested like this before . My GP at first tried to chalk it up to anxiety but after seeing a cardiologist I was diagnosed with this.

Hi I presume you have had tests to rule out things like anemia and thyroid problems? If not ask for them x

Thyroid can't effect balance can it I've read up?

An over active thyroid can cause a racing heart. Anemia can cause the other symptoms. Eating more green vegetables helps as well as as other foods so have a look online x
