question: Since the end of September, my life has been utter hell to say the least. One night at work it came on all of a sudden. I felt a sudden wave of lightheadedness and could hear my heart beat pounding in my ears. I could feel my heart beating out of control, and that calmed down only a minute after sitting down but the lightheadedness continued....I have been living in dizzy hell for the past 7 months now!! Have seen a neurologist, ENT, and cardiologist. Everything came back normal except for a month after the dizzy spells started my heart rate shot up 220 at rest. I was diagnosed with SVT but doctors cannot find the source of the dizziness. The only thing that has been able to stop the fainting feeling has been anti-anxiety medication, such as Ativan which I was prescribed short term after ER doctors suspected I was having a panic attack(really, I had used caffeine and have since banned that from my diet). I m skeptical if this is purely psychiatric as of right now but am not completely ruling it out. I had a major car wreck 2 years ago and my ENT did notice I had some spinal cord inflammation by pressing on the left side of my neck and my neck gives me daily pain. email address: YYYY@YYYY Sorry for the ramble, I just really would like an answer or some advice. Thank you, Alexandra
