Mya,
Again, start working on better managing the suspected root cause and see if it helps. It has for many here.
If you look through our boards, you'll also find that obsessing over health related issues is also quite common among panic sufferers.

Thats some peace of mind then Mya . Danielle made sense with the 30 second rule , will have to remember that one .
Glad you found someone to talk to :)
I am a little panicy now because i didn't have a catscan or anything...my first time with vertigo was sudden and sence then i have had the anxiety problams....i wasn't feeling anxious before the vertigo...i just turned my head to the right and things were spinning...about 15 minutes before that I was extremley upset though...UGHHHHH...I constantly obsess on my health!! Now i am worries that something serious could be going on...
Mya,
That's great! Likely if all your tests came back negative, you can shock it up to old anxiety and thus start challenging the thoughts surrounding your anxiety.
Do start working through the program. It will give you a lot of great skills against anxiety!
Good luck!

Hi...i was at the doctors 2 days ago and he did a complete physical on me..says Im fine...he did a balance test on me also..that was fine...should i be pushing further tests?? i am by no means constantly dizzy...just a sensation every couple days...
i did got to counseling today..was very nervous about that..it went well though and it felt good to talk to someone...
Mya,
Please consult your MD. Although dizziness is a listed symptom associated with panic disorder, you should be evaluated further to rule out other potential causes.
In the meantime, try taking 30 seconds between each shift in position.
For ex: Going from lying to sitting, take a 30 second pause before getting up to a standing position.

Hi Mya , of course i wish you luck :) . You also rang a bell with me when you said the computer screen made you feel dizzy . A few weeks ago when i was at my worst i also found it make me worse .
today I am not doing to well...really nervous..i have my first counseling appt today at 12:00...I feel like things are going so slow...but if I look where I was a month ago they are slowly getting better...i find myself getting dizzy alot when looking at my computer screen...today i am really shaky!!I will post again later after my appt..wish me luck!!
Hello Mya , how are you doing now ? A few weeks ago i had so many bouts of the dizzy spells myself . Now as soon as i start to feel dizzy i do the deep breathing until i feel normalish again . It has begun to drastically cut down on the big panic attacks . Which is great .
Hope this helps abit :)
