I haven't been online for a little while and I am not doing so well with my anxiety. I have just moved this weekend and I had a 21st birthday for my sister I was responsible for and a 6 1/2 month old to take care of in the mean time. I have been SOOO tired and it scares me how tired I have been. Its like a delirious type tired and I have had really bad dizzy spells and headaches. I have worried about a brain tumor forever and when I go into the doctors they never check for it cuz they say it sounds like a tension headache. And then about 2 months ago I went in and the dr. said that I have vertigo in my left ear. But these dizzy weird feelings are what are bringing on my anxiety. They scare me really bad and I don't know why they happen. Anxiety can cause dizzyness but so can so many other things. Then my father asked me last night if I have ever thought of the day that the lord comes and it scared me because I am afraid to die!! I have no control over it and I know that but dammit that topic scares me! Needless to say I have been very anxious and stressed and am afraid that over a period of time it might hurt me. I have the program but I need to find more time to use it!

I am an expert on vertigo. Yes anxiety can bring on vertigo but only if you have an underlying problem. Vertigo is a very tricky thing. I suffered with it for 12 years, I became home bound, anxiety,depression, you name it. First you have to make sure its true vertigo. Did your doc tell you this? Dizzyness and vertigo are not the same thing. Anxiety can cause dizzyness and off balance feeling on its own.
