So I've been dealing with this dizziness (lightheadedness) for about 6 months now and have had so many exams that it seems unreal. Have had every heart test under the sun and everything came back clear, brain MRI, clear. Only thing I suffer from is 2 deviated septums that I need surgery for. They want me to take the tilt table test to diagnose me with vertigo but at this point isn't it clear that I have an anxiety issue/ vertigo?

Hi Rick,

I am sorry you are still dealing with this bothersome symptom.

However, the good news is that you have received a clean bill of health.

I am sure the tilt table test is just for a definitve dx on your doctor's part.

Are you now working on a plan if action for anxiety management?

Well I've been wanting to see a therapist but my GP wants to do all these exams before I see one
I feel like I'm wasting time
And I fear the tilt test so not looking forward to it

Well, you don't have to consent.

Tell him you are refusing, and are requesting a therapy referral.

You are in charge...your doctor works for you! 😉
