Is Elavil Sufficient To Cure Dizziness, Light Headedness, Pressure Sensation Around Sinuses While Suffering From Panic Attacks?

I have been suffering this terrible bouts of dizziness/light headedness since October last year and get head aches as well starting from the back of my head traveling to the forehead and the temple. I feel dizzy day in day out and cannot figure what is causing it. Then I get this heart palpitations when I am driving and feel like I am getting a panic attack because of the fear of having an accident while feeling dizzy. This happens occasionally though. I feel pressure around my sinuses but have been told I don't have sinus problems by the doctor despite the fact that I feel pressure and have clogged nostrils most of the time. I just want to know how to stop the dizziness and have seen a neurologist who has put me on Elavil. I don't seem to get much relief from this. Your advise will be very much appreciated. Thank you
