Has anyone felt this way?

For the past 4 months, I have been dealing with anxiety and dizziness. Not sure what's causing it quite yet, one doc said labyrinthitis then the ENT said no but also has gotten my paper work messed up and wrong. I go to another ENT/dizzines and balance specialist in the 28th. Anyway back to original topic..

The anxiety has seemed to get different and weird along with the head sensations and dizziness (non spinning dizziness Head just feels very off like my head is swimming and head pressure) of course the tinnitus (ringing ear) in my left ear. It gradually gets worse, back and forth. Anyway I feel really weird in my head all the time, a lot worse at night. Some nights its hard to sleep. Right now I feel different and anxious with my head feelings and ringing ear. I feel super anxious like im not really here and that I have absolutely no enjoyment anymore because of how I feel. Tightness in my chest and stomach with shortness of breath. I know it's my anxiety so it's not a full panic attack. Body semi feels weak. I have eye floaters that are bothersome and either I have just started noticing them or they are recent. I'm not sure exactly what's going on.. it's terrifying. The main symptoms that I want to know if anyone else has felt are these weird feelings I get that give these symptoms...

I am scared of everything

scared to live

scared to leave my house

feeling like im always going to feel this way

I feel scared to sleep

I feel scared to do almost everything

Weird head sensations

I feel like.. I'm not me anymore

At night I get more anxious and really scared of leaving or even getting up because of the night. It's like being scared of the dark but more like what's out in the world. I get that way during the day to but more that I'm scared of the world. Everything seems to move fast and I can't calm down. It's so hard to explain how I feel. I hope this makes some what of sense. It's hard.

What you are saying makes an awful lot of sense,miso please don't worry about that. My heart goes out to you because living like this, with no answers and constant worry is just horrible.

the good thing is that you're seeding and ENT specialist to get some answers shortly.

Are you on any medication for your anxiety? Have you ever been taught any deep breathing/relaxation techniques?

I'm still feeling this exact way . Honestly I feel your pain. It's crippling. I've been told it's lab on and off 6 years nearly. I've become an anxious agro wreck with now suffering migraines. So I've found out that my migraines may be triggering mav migraine as vertigo. U get constant dizzyness and it's similar to Lab hence why it can be confused with it. I'm going to try a migraine diet and see how my vertigo goes. I have no idea if u suffer migraines but if u do mention it to doctor.

I really really feel for u Im half the person I used to be but I'm plodding on and started allowing the anxity to come and stop figthing it since doing this it's Defo easier to cope with. I'm still anxious but by fighting it all this time I'm intensifying it and it's making it uncontrollable to handle now I tell my self look come at me all u want I'm bored of you now your going to come anyway as u are a safety emotion. keep strong for now and try to relax what ever way that u can. also u must be feeling deprilization I have started to get this past 6 months it comes and go I just try not let it scare me and tell my self it's just an anxiety symptom it will go. Keep strong for now and try to learn to control anxity best you can

i get a lot of the same things, and often a tickly annoying throat which i thought was post nasal drip - its all anxiety related im sure, just as yours probably is - the eye floaters especially are very common, but hard to believe that its nothing more than that i know
