Hi all,

I know anxiety is common with vertigo and dizziness and curious as to what other people's anxiety is like and how do you cope?

I get vertigo every 3 weeks or once a month. Been diagnosed with bppv and chronic dizziness pppd.

I get a full blown anxiety attack I start sweating hyperventilating and run around like headless chicken. It's so extreme I've even thought of giving up. It's so exhausting.

has anyone tried valium? i spoke to my doctor about it and he said it can actually cause dizziness and vertigo is this true? he gave me propranolol instead.
