Anxiety Mixed with labyrinthitis?? Im worried

Hey everyone...

I had my first ever panic attack ( thats what the arabulance crew said) one week ago now.... ever since then i have been constantly spacey and had about 4 more attacks, but none as bad as the first one. When i say spacey i mean things just dont look real, i feel constantly dizzy , and bright lights are hard to handle. I went to my doctors about it 3 days ago and he said he thought it would probably be vertigo and it should pass, but he didn't really seem to give a hoot, just to get me in and out ASAP with no meRAB or nothing.

The thing is people say to avoid panic attacks you have to keep yourself busy and will forget about it..... i try this so much but i just cant do it...all the time being dizzy worry s me and stops me from doing a lot of activities. For instance my frienRAB invited me over to their house tonight and we was talking and trying to ignore the dizziness...but its constantly their and nothing seems real...or solid if you know what i mean?, so this triggered what felt like was gonna be a bad panic attack, but managed to calm down abit. so one of my frienRAB has had to drop me back home. when im at home and watching a film or somthing i seem to calm down,,,,but still the spaceyness is their. My ears feel full and i think i could have labyrinthitis, which is a kinda of vertigo and i do have alot of symptoms.....is it possible that this vertigo is triggering the panic attacks and i haven't got a panic disorder , because im not a worrier and really laid back. im just worried because the last 2 days it felt like i was getting better,, and all of sudden its attacked again....one week i was such a healthy 22 year old, now i feel i have a proper disability ?

It all worrys me, i feel like i cant really leave the house for being scared of feeling dizzy and unsafe and then find it hard to breathe. I have just started seeing a girl who i really like and i feel like this could spoil everything.

If anyone has any experiance on any comments if its just the inner ear infection kicking off the attacks that would be great. :)

any help would be so great guys

P.S , sorry for the rarable
 
The last few weeks I have had the EXACT same symptoms. A few days ago, a doctor diagnosed me with labyrinthitis and same response, didn't give me any meRAB and didn't seem to care. I think these feelings are triggered and sustained by anxiety.. I have fullness in my ears as well and just got over a bad cold, but I really don't think its an inner ear inefction.. Its just Anxiety again, trying to hide itself as yet another symptom.
 
It's funny how you should ask this question? I have been the same way. But I also have anxiety. But I have inner ear problems too and just read an article that labyrinthitis can cause a feelings of derealization and depersonalization. Maybe you are having the anxiety because you are so worried about the symptoms you ears could be causing. Have you been having slowed thinking and aware of every little thing you do and say? I have all kind of weird thoughts when I feel spacey. Sometimes It's like I can't think past today and I just want to feel normal again. I feel like I'm in a dream and life just started today. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the past(its hard to describe) Anyway I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions.
 
Yes i have been having slow thinking....and more annoyingly somtimes when i try and string a sentence together it comes out all gobble-de-gook. It worrys me because it can be anything from a normal ear infection thats just kicking my butt abit....or it could be somthing alot worse :(. Im back at the doctors again today to see what the crack is. ill let you all know how it went. Anyone waking up with really blood shocked eyes to who is feeling the same way? that is really starting to worry me at the moment :(
 
well im back from the doctors guys, and they still really dont know whats wrong. I told him i think i have labryrinthitis and he said it could very well be a possibility....hes gave me 'Prochlorperazine' 5 mg tablets to take 6 a day. and this should help if it is the labryinthitis. Its just a scary feeling being always soooo spacey and dizzy....and it feels like my head is gunna float off but my eyes are so heavy. Got a blood test so see how that goes.

anyone else had any experiance with this medicine?
 
this sounRAB exactly like my life, im 20 and have a feeling of blood pressure or something in my ear alot of the time. it comes and goes. Ive had a few panic attacks and everytime i go to the doctors im told im fine or its labarinythus. they say my ears always are healthy but the feeling i have is definalty not normal.

On wednesday it got really bad and i saw 3 doctors and even went to A&E as noone was listerning and they all said im fine. i feel dizzie 24/7. They have done tests and theyre certain its nothing serious but i feel it is. its nice to hear someone else else there is the same and im not alone.

and the whole girl thing... i first met a girl i like and now shes been scared away :( i hope that doesnt happen to you too.
