i have not been able to drive because when i do it seems like i am going to turn over in the car. i had my ears retested and was told they are ok. Vertigo has been ruled out. prescribed anxiety tablets but that did not help. This is so weird! Any suggestions? .

    i really do not know how to categorize my issue. i do not feel dizzy when I drive. i feel a little anxious when i am driving even down a straight road.

    Do you have an ear and balance center near you? I went thru it for years never knew i had that center in town. They did all kinds of tests even had a brain angiogram they finally figured out i had meniers desease. Put me on klonopin and i get a steroid shot in my ear drum twice a year i am finally good.

    The first time I got vertigo I was driving , it became a nightmare and I was taken to the ER , after 3 more events and tests they told me Meniere disease vertigo ,

    Eventually I learned how to manage it without meds , keep symptoms to a minimum until it passes
