Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Spinning sensation: Glad you saw an ENT and that he/she said you are ok medically. Yes, anxiety can produce these symptoms. Continue to have your doctor monitor you and please see a mental health professional who can teach you some anxiety management skills. Peace and good health.
