Brief Answer:
Panic attacks have to be treated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The episodes that you are describing of
dizziness could be due to
vertigo and yes you are right in suggesting that presence of panic disorder worsens the experience of vertigo.
But the other possibility is that your dizziness could be a manifestion of panic disorder per se. The fact that they occur more commonly when there are people around than when alone goes more in favour of panic attacks as vertigo generally has nothing to do with people around.
You should get treated for panic disorders.
Paroxetine is one drug which I frequently use for my patients in the dose of 12.5 mg at night and this helps them a lot for anxiety. Other drug options are
venlafaxine,
clonazepam,
propranolol etc. You may discuss these options with your treating
psychiatrist.
If it does not respind to panic treatment then you may need to take treatement for vertigo. Vertin and dizitac are good drugs for vertigo.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
