I was diagnosed with anxiety October 2015 and was given sertraline (Zoloft) to take which I have been taking ever since and have not had any anxiety attacks but the dizziness is still affecting me on a daily basis especially when I walk. I also have high blood pressure and take medication for that but check my bp everyday at home and levels have been good. I wish I knew what was causing this dizziness. I also had an MRI on brain done august 2015 as well as seen an ent Dr and everything checked out OK with both results. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

    I Agree that the anxiety is just a result, So lets take that off the table (for now).

    So there are only 3 areas: eyes, ears and Brain. I would think that we could come up with the Top 5 common problems with each and some how narrow it down and find some common ground. I was hit hard in the head 30 years ago, is that now why I have this ? that type of thing,  and put it into a data base? to find out common areas.

    Medicines taken etc....

      I agree with you. I have had my ears and brain checked but not my eyes but my gut tells me its my eyes cause I take my blood pressure when I am having an attack and dizziness and its normal and I do have hearing loss in both ears as well as tinnitus so I plan to get hearing aides to see if that helps. One day I am not that dizzy and the next I am so gotta narrow down what I did and didn't do on those days that may have triggered the dizziness.
