Mono Causing Vertigo And Anxiety Posted: 10-07-05 18:15pm


Hello, I was diagnosed with mono about a month ago but I have been having problems since the end of july. My question is that since i've had mono I have had "vertigo". Really the best way I can describe it is that my mind is off, almost like i'm high all the time. I find it's worse at night. My doctor said it could be anxiety and prescribed me an anti-depressent, which I do not want to take. I have this "vertigo" to some varying degree almost all the time, even when i'm not anxious. I have talked to one friend who said she has the same thing and she too was diagnosed with mono. I'm just curious if this has happened to any of you and if so how long did it last? Any recommendations? Thanks, morgan

Hi i had mono many years ago and remember falling downstairs with it, because I lost my balance and also having to crawl to the bathroom because I jsut couldn't stand up properly. It gave me an ear infection and I don't know if that caused the dizziness or not. It was dealt with and the vertigo-type feeling eventually resolved itself but getting over mono does take time. My son had mono last year and ended up with cerebellitis, which is very rare - so don't worry. Over a year on - he is still getting over it but has just started a university course and thinks he will cope. Apart from getting easily fatigued - he finds travelling hard as he hgets bad motion sickness, which he didn't get before the mono. I think its a bit like vertigo. I think it will get better eventually. Just be patient. I know its not easy but you will get better - it just takes a long time. Take care - scottie

Yes, I was diagnosed with mono a few months ago and I had very bad dizziness, and still am. The mono must be over but my symptoms are still there! My heart also becomes rapid and pounding sometimes as well.

I fell sick with mono 6 months and have yet to fully recover. I also never experienced any sort of motion sickness prior to this illness, but now I get it all the time. Travelling can be a bit of a challenge, but it does seem like things to tend improve over time, albeit slowly.

Mono Causing Vertigo And Anxiety Posted: 10-06-07 08:33am


I am at 7 weeks of being diagnosed with mono. I have been experiencing anxiety and hard heartbeats where I can`t sleep. I have to take sleeping pills to relax. I have read it could be the vageus nerve causing the heartbeats. I have been to the dr. and the ER and they say nothing is wrong with my heart. I wonder if all of this is caused by being so weak for so long that it gets your body all out of sorts. I have had chest pain but it seems to be the sternum itself. I have read this could be costochondritis caused by autoimmune diseases. Advil does help with this. This has been rough!

anxiety, hard heart beats Posted: 03-02-08 17:28pm


i have the same thing. hard heart beats that don't let me sleep at night. and mono. i've also had panic attacks, which the doctors say have nothing to do with the mono, but i don't believe it. the doctors have been pretty useless. they don't know what the hard heart beats are about. i just started getting acupuncture and there's been noticeable improvement.

anxiety vertigo mono Posted: 03-15-08 16:47pm


I've had mono for almost 2 months now. I never got a sore throat or fever the entire time. It started with a stomach ache. Which the stomach ache has gone away but I now still have vertigo, anxiousness, motion sicks, and i still dont have an appetite. I also don't feel like myself I've become extremely depressed!!! My eyes also ache as the day goes on and i get a mild headache...and it's not really getting better as far as I can tell.

Anxiety with mono. Posted: 05-07-08 12:08pm


I was diagnosed with mono about 4 months back and I haven't felt right since. I felt fine before that. I've noticed posts about feeling anxious with mono. I've had the same feelings. I keep waking up with sore throats and I've felt tired and anxious most of the time. With a dizzy feeling also. My doctor said it doesn't happen for such an extended time + with the anxiety symptoms, and that my dizzyness is from anxiety and wrote me a scrip for an antidepressant with a tranquilizer. Which I didn't take. I'm dizzy even when I'm not anxious. I don't want to depress anyone, but i've heard of people having mono symptoms up to six months after onset. So hang in there, take care of yourself and give you'reself time to rest. I've also heard that various Immune stimulating herbs can help defeat mono. I'm not going to make any suggestions. Just do your own research. I wish everyone well and take care!
