Scared because its happening daily

Posted , 10 users are following.

So as mentioned I suffer with dizziness which now is a daily thing like literally all day every day. If I'm sitting down I don't feel it but soon as I'm walking around or in a moving car I feel dizzy, its a feeling of like my heads being shaken at its worst(not spinning) and most times just a floating feeling and off balance. I cant drive lately because of it and I haven't been out alone in the past month because its been bad. I have seen ENT this week and I'm being sent for a balance test where they put water in your ear. I'm deaf in my one ear so he wants to make sure its not my bad ear causing the problems. I also get head rushes sometimes when I stand up or a pulsing sensation but again all the cardiology investigations were normal ie event recorder, bp monitor, numerous ecgs, chest x ray and I had an echo prior to all this back in 2012 which was fine as well as a CT scan in 2013 of my head. Neurology checked me over and said they couldn't find anything to suggest anything neurological and suggested anxiety like everyone so far. I know I get anxious but even when I feel calm I'm still dizzy. I tend to feel faint, nauseous and generally unwell and not myself like as if ive got constant flu or something. They say you know your own body and I know somethings off but then I think what if it is really just all anxiety. I have had bloods done to and all was clear. I keep imagining the worst and thinking what if its cancer because how would I know? And then I think maybe its my heart and they have missed something. I'm so tired of feeling like this. I'm not taking any medication currently. Please if anyone has any advice or reassurance it would be great or if someone is or has gone through this. My worry is how can someone experience dizziness daily and there not be anything wrong?
