Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Patients with vestibular dysfunction often complain of additional symptoms typical of panic disorder and/or hyperventilation. This study investigated whether autonomic and respiratory symptoms reported by patients with vestibular disorders were associated with objective changes in heart and respiration rate following head movements provoking dizziness. Subjective ratings of symptoms and anxiety and objective measures of heart and respiration rate were obtained from 29 patients and 16 healthy controls immediately before and after the subjects performed three standardised sets of vigorous head movements. Within-group analyses revealed greater increases in respiration rate following head movement among patients who complained of more somatic symptoms, both during the previous 2 months and following head movement.
