Could be a lot of things, Stevebo. Feeling top heavy or like on a boat are both forms of vertigo. You're taking anxiety meds because of vertigo or just because? Doesn't matter, I guess. The thyroid issue is interesting. I thought my jaw problems were causing all of my vertigo for years, but it turns out I had undiagnosed blood sugar problems all at the same time. So, still don't know exactly what it is that comes and goes 6 years later, but I do have a lot less vertigo now that I have stablized glucose. Have you had yours checked?

I've had dizziness (feeling of walking on a boat) since my first panic attack in my 20's. 30 years later, still have it. I believe it's anxiety. I have panic disorder and generalized anxiety and am terrified of the dizziness, so it's a loop for me.. fear = dizziness = more fear. I now have cervicogenic dizziness which is a million times worse. That one involves neck pain and spasms along with horrible balance. I truly see the anxeity connection for me.

Well Hotdogdog thanks for reply and yes i have been taking my glucose readings and they have been moving around it could be that is a problem. About a week ago i was sitting around and sugar dropped to 64 i drank some orange juice and it stabilized. I am keeping an eye on that and the anxiety doesn't help thanks for the reply

I am having almost constant dizziness.. I feel relief when I lay down and believe it or not when I am in a moving car. I am able to drive without difficulty. My doctor is taking me off of Zolof to see if that helps. I also have stiffness in my neck and wonder if that is related. Sometimes I am so very uncomfortable and cannot wait until I get home so that I can lay down.

I do hope I am never pulled over for drunk driving. If I am asked to walk with one foot in front of another or stand on one foot, I will obviously fail and spend time in jail. Of course, I do not drink! :(

Laying down and in a moving car is where I get relief / sanctuary from my dizziness. How strange, I wonder if that points to a certain kind of dizziness or diagnosis?

I feel relief as well if I am laying down and in a moving car. I can understand feeling relief laying down but why do I fee better in a moving car, you would think that would be worse.

Back again. I went to the grocery store today and just feel so very uncomfortable. I have constant dizziness. The weird thing, though, is it is in my lower forehead. I feel some mild tightness and dizziness in that area. I also have some lower discomfort in the back of my neck and wonder if that is connected.

I have found going to the chiropractor helps a lot with the off feeling. I also wear sea bands. They are for motion sickness and find they help a lot. found them at the drug store for car sickness.
I seem to have a combo affect, vertigo, affects my IBS, which then cause anxiety...im now checking my blood sugar levels. I just want to feel normal again. I wake up feel off slight headache, nausea. Eating more protein seems to help,

Hi all. Not been on here for years until recently.
I was dizzy years ago. I still get it now but not all day long. I was told it was anxiety after having various tests. I find it hard to turn quickly, I have to do it slowly. I also felt like I was on a cruise, when you disembark and your legs feel they are moving and bobbing about. I also can be affected by bright supermarkets and big spaces.
I too felt much better in a car and my doc said it was a "womb" effect in that I felt encased and safe. And when you are driving you are distracted and concentrating so the anxiety/dizzies disappears. Just thought that made real sense to me - hope it does to you guys.
It is such a bitch and does not help when no-one else has it.
Keep smiling peeps and posting.

hi there:) it could be so many things its important to rule out the most critical first, have u seen a cardiologist recently? my Dad had dizziness on the golf course etc turned out he had blockage in his heart. I on the other end of the spectrum was dizzy since I was a child, my equilibrium is off due to scar tissue from ear infection, progressively got worse due to concussion and other things, there are so many variables. One medication I take that helps me is antivert , I feel more balanced like Im not going to fall. Best of luck to u:)

I suffered from dizziness and nausea for quite some time. It was debilitating, some days I didn't want to get out of bed. I was taking several prescibed medications but the side effects of those alone caused me more problems. I started looking for a natural solution and found Divertigo. Its essential oils and as crazy as it sounds, it worked for me. Hope it will work for some of you!
