I suffered from mental health for 25 years or more .. jumping from one illness to another most of my life so health anxiety I must have ... I started having the odd dizzi spell wile I was driving few weeks back and now it's gone to balance problems all day long I had to stay or work a won't go out as I feel I will fall .. I had mri and bloods they said normal .. so someone said I could have pppd wich means somethin that frightened me like for example my dizziness from driving has sent me into a bad anxiety that it has affected my balance so I have made it happen Through stress and fear .. it's horrible to go through I hope I get better soon

I have had it from anxiety. I also have health anxiety and a few years back kept getting so much so kept taking myself to hospital. Every thing kept coming back fine and they kept telling me it was my anxiety. I eventually went on sertraline and they really helped and eventually the dizziness went away xx

Honestly I felt like that for months I thought I was dying I was throwing up every time I was getting up because of it but once I got my anxiety under control it got better. That was 3 years ago. Now it still happens from time to time I have been pretty bad with my anxiety for a few months and it has happened again but not quiet as bad as it was when I first started getting it and I can understand more its my anxiety xxx
