Vertigo and Anxiety Both Eliminated in One Blow Over half of people suffering vertigo also experience anxiety or panic attacks, and researchers started to wonder if one leads to the other. In a new study published in the International Journal of Research Science and Management, a team of scientists used a simple method to eliminate one condition, and the other disappeared with it. According to one of the studies cited in the literature review of the new paper, around 45 percent of people with vertigo have anxiety disorder, while 15 percent tend to have panic disorder. The concern exists that these problems may become worse and even permanent if the vertigo is not treated quickly.
