Hi, I been to a heart doctor because I was having anxiety attacks. I had a EKG & C-Stan everything came back normal. Then I started having vertigo. Every now & then I have attacks I have to set or lay down for a while to get my heart to start pumping normal. Can it be something else besides anxiety?
Hi, your complaints are more suggestive of panic disorder. It explains the severe anxiety and vertigo like symptoms. A detailed history regarding the onset and triggering factors will help one to decide management plan. An associated co morbid conditions needs to be dealt and investigated for. As the ECG and cardiac consultation has been found clear, I would strongly suggest you to consult a local psychiatrist. An addition of short-acting benzodiazepines and beta blocker medications can be discussed with the consultant. Welcome for further suggestions. Chat Doctor.
