always feel lightheaded and dizzy

Hi I'm 25 female and I have been told by my doctor that i have a panic disorder. I am always lightheaded and feeling dizzy. I feel like I could pass out at any second. This is ruining my life. Im scared to do anything alone. I cant go to a grocery store, mall, nothing. I am too scared that I'm going to pass out and I have tried to overcome it but I cant. As soon as I get into a place I get so dizzy and my vision is all messed up. I get so hot and sweaty and my heart races. I want my life back. I still dont believe that its just anxiety causing all of this. I feel like I have something else wrong that the doctors cant find even though i have had bloodwork, mri, ekg, and they were all normal. I started taking .25mg of xanax once a day. still dont feel any better yet. So if anybody has any help please give it to me. I feel like i have hit rock bottom

Isn't this the most insane crap!!!???? Mine started in 1981 after the birth of my second child! I got this crazy heavy feeling in my shoulders felt like I was being pushed down then the foggy head not dizzy but foggy is the best I can describe...then the panic...heart pounding...breathing blah blah blah...it has been coming and going for 35 years!! Symptoms change randomly....have different ones all the time but the light headed foggyness never changes and the ringing in my ears is insane! I am basically agoraphobic now don't drive or go anywhere by myself I'm afraid of meds part of my panic and anxiety that I will have side effects...ugh..but I did actually have two heart attacks!! So sometimes I don't know if it's anxiety or a real ailment! Really really hate this condition!!! I'm 59 and can't enjoy life!!

I wanted to know we're your side effects bad wen taking zoloft? I was also prescribed zoloft but haven't taken any yet . I'm getting anxiety just thinking about taking them. I had a bad reaction to celexa. Within an hour I couldn't breath and then broke out in hives all over my body. Now im terrified to take another pill.  My anxiety is crazy. I have good days then I get those really bad days where I'm dizzy or just scared. I appreciate if you can give me some hope. My email is ***@****
