These are exactly the same symptoms I have and was incorrectly diagnosed as having vertigo. In any case, it turned out to be chronic anxiety which effects your hearing, vision and balance amounst other things. I didn't even realise it, but i had been suffering from it for years and years but just kept suppressing it and dulling the pain with alcohol every evening. Well things came to a head recently and i felt like i could no longer cope and i didnt want to become an alcoholic over this so i went back to my GP. She prescribed me 50mg Sertraline once a day and I'm 9 days in. It hasn't been easy and i've had to take time off work as Sertraline exacerbates anxiety alot when you first start so the general advice is, it gets worse before it gets better!! Ironic i know!!
Apparently it takes at least over 2 weeks for the side effects to pass and the drug to reach therapeutic levels so its early days for me.
The only thing for sure i can say eleviates my anxiety is exercise!! I exercise every day and it helps take the edge off.
