Dizzy in shower

The ENT thinks is MAV, since getting my dieat dizzy attack I've had awful anxiety. Before taking a shower I can feel the anxiety coming on and the rocking swaying stuff starts and feeling like the world is weird. Then as soon as I turn on the water and step in bam when washing my hair feels like moving up and down. I have noticed if I take a Xanax it's not as bad. I'm starting to see a psychologist at the end of the month, this dizzy anxiety is making me nuts. I'm scared Ed to death of being dizzy. Do you feel like that? Do you have anxiety with this?

Hi ,yes exactly me ,only place I don't notice it ,is when Im driving ,weird hey . I am on a site that deals with this Rocking / swaying bouncy feeling  Im more use to it as times passed ,don't like it ,but not much I can do at present . I don't take meds for anxiety or the MdDS ,tried Cinnarizine ,Stemitil etc ,non been of any help . My belief it's a hormonal condition that sets it off to some extent . You need to keep a daily diary ,I've got tinnitus think that to has a bearing on it,along with Sinisitis ,I suffer from both . Yes I to don't like to shampoo hair etc that can be a big problem ,but I do it as quickly as I can . When you get up out of bed ,go to bottom of bed then stand up straight ,don't turn your head for a while ,get your bearings first  I notice that helps. When you stoop down don't bend your head ,go straight down no head bending . If not that head bending will make you feel worse . Anxiety I live daily with . Nothing's going to happen ,just how this makes you feel . Got to have it ,to understand it . The brain ears and eyes are trying to match everything up , like they once did . 

Marlene21102,  I was put on Propranolol for this (as a migraine or MAV preventative).  I definitely has helped, but then stopped working after a year.  i am upping the dose, and i had to go back to no caffeine.  Diet is a big trigger for my MdDS and MAV.  It's a very strict diet, but I am better when I follow it.  Red wine, caffeine and MSG flavor additives are the worst for me.  The only thing that stops the rocking, feeling like on a boat, and frank vertigo is Klonopin.  i have taken it for awhile now, and try to keep the dose very, very low, as it has an addiction potential.  Honestly tho, I couldn't keep my career without it. 

Hi Dizzy ,another sufferer, plenty of us ,but we look well to outsiders . I see you have tinnitus also . Bad enough on its own having that alone . I find all meds play havoc with me regardless to what they are , so I try and just get by best way I can . Don't know how people cope with job and maybe children to take care of . Today my T is lowish ,but ears full up ,so bouncy here . I do watch what I eat ,I only drink water . Im now on HRT just ,so see if that prove things as time passes . I to get migraines head and stomach . Weird what this does to your body in many ways . I get lot of neck ache , many have that on going in common . Hormones are my first tick of the box to this as primary cause . No hearing loss though can hear a pin drop .
