Hello

Just over a year ago, I got out of bed, was incrediably dizzy and fell over.  It felt like I had been spinning around.

Since then I get a swaying feeling, like on a boat, whenever I walk.

I do suffer with awful anxiety and this is what my GP puts it down to.

It is ruining my life- I have got myself into a state and now cannot leave the house by myself.

Any ideas on what is going on?

My GP seems to put any symptom I have down to dizziness.

Thank you for reading this.

Liz xx

    Hi

    Since seeing Dr S, Ive had a pressure feeling in both of my ears.

    He did the dix Hallpike on me and also the head thrusts, (I think that is what it is called where he shook my head).

    Any ideas as to what is going on?
