I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIZZINESS FOR THE
PAST YEAR ALMOST EVERY DAY. MY GP SAYS IT
IS ANXIETY, MY ENT HAS PUT ME THROUGH ENG
TESTING AS WELL AS A HEARING TEST AND
MERINERS TEST. ALL OF WHICH CAME BACK
NORMAL. I DO HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT THIS AND
IT ONLY SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE. I AM NOT
SURE WHAT THIS IS AND WHY IT KEEPS
HAPPENING TO ME. I HAVE NECK PAIN ONCE AND
AWHILE, AND THE DIZZINESS SEEMS TO GET
WORSE WITH HEAD MOVEMENT AS WELL AS WHEN I
AM ON THE COMPUTER. I ALSO FEEL MY LEGS
SHAKE WHEN I WALK. I DO NOT FALL OR PASS
OUT. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?
PS-NO ONE THINKS THAT I NEED FURTHER
TESTING AND IT IS ALL NERVES. IF IT IS WHY
WONT IT GO AWAY, AND IF SO WHAT CAN I DO
TO GET IT TO STOP! IT IS EFFECTING MY
EVERYDAY LIFE!!!!!

Dizziness can be due to an inner ear
disorder or a neurological disorder.
Anemia and arterial hypotension can also
cause dizziness. You can ask for a second
opinion from an ENT-specialist,
neurologist and internist. If everything
appears OK again you can then consult a
mental health doctor. Anxiety disorders
can cause dizziness. All anxiety disorders
are chronic mental diseases and their
treatment is not so simple. A combination
of anxiolitic drugs, antidepressants, and
psychotherapy is the usual therapy for
anxiety disorders.
