I have been feeling extremely lightheaded and dizzy recently and it has been making me extremely anxious and causing panic attacks. But I don't know if it is the dizziness that is causing the anxiety or the anxiety that is causing the dizziness. A few people in my family suffer from vertigo so I also don't know if I have that. But the doctor has said in the past they don't think I have vertigo. But anyway I was really complaining about these dizzy attacks I kept getting earlier on and my Gran who suffers from vertigo her self told me to take one of her stemetil tablets to see if that helps my dizziness. So I took one earlier on today and it has massively helped the lightheadedness and dizziness. I have hardly felt dizzy all day. I have also felt a lot less anxious today. I am just wondering if stemetil usually helps dizziness this quickly? and if it also helps anxiety and is used to treat anxiety?
Does stemetil help dizziness and anxiety?

Yes stemetil helps dizziness. As for your anxiety it very well can help if when you get dizzy your anxiety increases therefore no dizzy no anxiety.
Dang, I wondered about that but didn't know much background so generically said possible allergy. I work with a gal once that had vertigo, she seemed like she was surfing sometime but she was capable for a large part. Can't know what someone else's shpe feel like let alone walking a mile.
Rediscuss it with your primary, if they blow it off you go to a speacialist with a family history-you should not be rejected, your educated.
Go to the doc first, if you tried a med that worked for you maybe she knew without the fancy tests but leave it to a good doc and you shouldn't go wrong. All my-->
