24/7 dizziness ???

Hi everyone ... has anyone out there experienced 24/7 dizziness from there anxiety ?
I would describe my dizziness NOT as vertigo but as an imbalance while walking (accompanied by a heavy/drowsy head). Sometimes it feels like the ground is not solid.
Those of you who have experienced the type of dizziness I've described, was it all day/everyday or just when you panic ? Does it ever seem to go away or subside ? Also, is there anyone out there who had this symptom then had it disappear after their anxiety was under control or their stress relieved ?

My mom also has been suffering for over 6 years with these same symptoms.  She has overcome 2 forms of cancer within this process, but still has the dizziness.  She has been to specialist, every ENT doctor, and even the Mayo Clinic!  No cure!  I was reading through all the posts with some hope.  I will try some of your recommendations.

Hi, I also suffer from dizziness 24 hours a day since I was 18 and now I'm 33yrs old. I have seen over 40 doctor's and they all say you just suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. We don't see anything wrong with your inner ear imbalance. I explain to every doctor that have done every test that you can think off that I started getting anxiety and panic attacks a year after I my dizziness, so they just put me on Xanax, Ziprasidone, Divalproex, Risperdal and another " CRAZY " medication cause they basically told me in a nice way that I'm just CRAZY. REALLY! Also they decided to put me in a CRAZY home for 3 week's. Wow! These doctor's if they hear you tell them that you feel a certain way and there wrong they just give you whatever medication that has nothing to do with what you are feeling. Well I have gotten used to the 24 hours dizziness going on 16 years now. I just realize this ain't ever going away and I have to deal with it. I can't drive, I can't go to the store's, I can't be around people nor can't work. I have to be on this stupid disability checks for the rest of my life. I'll pray for everyone that they don't have to suffer the nightmare that I have and still suffering this dizziness condition that no doctor can't explain. God bless everyone.

hi - i saw your comment on this thread - I am 17 and have the exact same thing. dizzy every day- feeling constantly off-balance, swaying when sitting in a chair - and always pretty anxious. my doctor doesn't want to push my meds up at all - I am on 75mg of Zoloft and i started on 50 but the increase hasn't helped much. I don't know what to do and I am sick and tired of living like this. I am jealous of people who can do normal things like sit in the cafeteria on the bench and not feel like they are going to fall or faint every 6 seconds.

As you stated everything is fine and no caused found after taking testes like MRI, Blood test Etc. I would suggest try changing you lifestyle activities, eating habits, quit if you smoke / drink. regular exercise and yoga is a must for fast stress relieve.

Go for a complete blood checkup like Urine, stool, Cholesterol, LDVL level ( if there are any changes in the reading will get it know the problem ) If the potassium level is less there are possible changes for frequent giddiness ( Potassium level controls the never ).

If you are comfortable consult homeopathic or a family physician and explain and spend some time finding the root cause ( if there was any problem it would have shown in the MRI scan report ). Hence there is no problem internally, i would advise try change in food habits and lifestyle.
