      I was the same if it's an inner ear problem it also gives you high anxiety so you will be panicking a lot, I was the same but it's settled a bit now but I was dizzy for about 12 weeks, join that group you will get a lot of answers

      The doctors can only see up to the ear drum inner ear is past that and you need to see an ear specialist for that

      The group is awesome. I'm unlucky and been dizzy since March. Slowly getting better. My ENT consultant thinks ive had vestibular neuronitis. I'm waiting for an MRI scan and then back to ENT for vestibular rehab. 

      You aren't alone, we all feel panicky and scared. It's a very debilitating thing to live with. Xx

      This is called veritgo . I've had it for years and anxiety makes it worse. Its the crystals in side your ear..

      Yes you do get vertigo symptoms,but with labythrinitis you never get relief you always have a feeling of being off balance the floor feels like it's moving,it's kind of like the feeling you get when you come off a fairground ride,but that feeling never goes away.My doctor told me it's the signals from my brain to my ears have got confused,this is probably due to an ear infection that wasn t treated.the anxiety comes with it,I was told your body automatically panics when there is something wrong with your inner ear.i have been battling with this for 6 yrs,and i was only diagnosed 2yrs ago after a long battle to get an answer.My heart goes out to everybody who is suffering,I know hard it is
