My anxiety and agorophobia started with vertigo. I started having these off balance spinning episodes. The first few times I tried to ignore them but it got bad. I went from Dr to Dr for years noone knew what was wrong so they put me on antidepressants, that didn't help. So now I have lived my life minute by minute praying for a fix. Finally two months ago I found a Dr who specializes in vertigo and she did her tests and I spun and cryed. After two weeks of therepy the vertigo is gone (knock on wood) My problem is that I do not trust that it is gone even tho I haven't had an episode since she fixed it, I fear it will come back. I am having a hard time moving on and I want to know what other prople do when they get this. I know that some of you have vertigo and how does or did it effect you. It ruined me and I have to pick up the pieces but don't know how.

I have an idea of what you are going through, I would feel dizzy and get scared and it would trigger panic attacks. I went to the doctors and was put on anti anxiety meds and those feelings have gone. At first I was a little skeptical and figured they would come back, but I figured I felt like crap for months so I might as well take this day by day and enjoy each day as much as I could. Vertigo can be very debilitating, but if you feel good now I would definitely take advantage of it and try to stop worrying about it.
