Since i lost my hearing 100% 3 years ago my balance went too, due to my health problems.
For the past 3 years i've had terrible anxiety. This is not characteristic of me.
I looked up Labyrinthitis (balance center in ears) anxiety and there is a connection. The reason is because when the balance is gone the person must use his vision for balance.
This makes a person in such a situation take in loads of visual information. The articles state that the Anxiety will get worse when in a crowd or wide open spaces, because it becomes more difficult to get spacial cues for balance. In turn it causes anxiety.
For a while i thought i had anxiety due to Agoraphobia only. Now doctors are telling me its from the Labyrinthitis.
Has anyone had this? How did you help it?
