About three months ago, I woke up with vertigo. I visited a doctor who told me there was nothing wrong with me and that the vertigo was probably due to labyrinthitis. That same night, I went to the ER due to a vertigo attack. Once again, I was told that there was nothing wrong and that I was having anxiety attacks.
In the next three months, the vertigo (spinning) stopped, but I was left with an off-balance sensation, like I was going to fall to one side. I also had a rocking/swaying feeling.
Those symptoms almost went away completely for a week. However, the vertigo suddenly came back a few days ago. I am feeling off-balance again. I have not visited the doctor, but I am extremely on edge because I am worried that there is something seriously wrong with me. I keep waking up with jaw pain and tense muscles.
Is this really anxiety? I really need some answers.

I suffer from both Vertigo and Anxiety attacks. I can tell you for me when I get vertigo it usually brings on a anxiety attack. I have maxillifacial pain from clenching my jaw (stress) and get jaw, neck, head pain..
For me, they are all linked. Hope this helps!

It turns out that I also have a really bad UTI. The doctor told me that I am lucky that the infection has not spread to my kidneys. I am going to be taking antibiotics for the next ten days.
This may explain why I was not feeling well. I guess that my anxiety was just making the symptoms worse.
