Hang in there Linda!
That's great that you are in recovery.Just remember that this too will eventually pass.It's really hard not knowing what is wrong which produces anxiety,then other worries about working,driving etc. pop up and add even more fuel to the fire.Try to take it easy.If it's possible try to find an ENT doctor and make an appointment.Dizziness can have many causes and unfortunately anxiety makes it worse.Good luck!
