How Can This Be Anxiety????

My doctor is telling me that I have anxiety, and ok I get that, but the dizziness I am experiencing is almost debilitating.  I cannot hardly walk and forget walking in an open space!!  I feel like I need to always hold onto something to balance myself.  Open spaces like I said are the worst and I feel like I have to hurry to find anything to hang onto!!  Has anyone else ever experienced this?  I will say I don't have it as bad (but still there) when I am at home, but work is awful and I haven't been able to go to school because of it.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would get on some good meds quick and get some therapy. What may help with the dizziness is just slowing down and taking deep breaths.

Dizziness is a common symptom of anxiety. If I were you though, I would see an ear, nose throat specialist to rule out a sinus or ear infection and also to be checked for vertigo.
