Viral Labyrinthitis: It sounds like you may have a severe case of labyrinthitis -an infection of the middle ear. You're at risk from volume loss (dehydration) given the GI symptoms. I assume any head motion triggers the dizziness? If so, try to stay hydrated with a child's sippy-cup. Then you don't have to move your head at all to drink. I would have a low threshold to go to the ER- they can give you IV fluids/meds.

DIZZY: 1st have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. The most complete evaluation for medication for anxiety is with a Psychiatrist. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM.com sessions. Your anxiety could be heightened because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness to elevate your immune system.
