What Causes Frequent Anxiety Attacks With Light Headedness?

i have pretty bad anxiety. i was working out a couple years ago and go really lightheaded. i put it off. after then i started watching my diet. i also started self diagnosing myself. i went to the doctor for a physical and he said he heard a murmur. i have an ekg and echo done. the ekg was normal and the echo showed trivial mitral and tricuspid valve regurg. so ever since then i have been scared to death that my heart had something wrong with it.it also said my left ventrical had mild enlargement. the doc said it is a normal finding amoung people who workout. i am 28 and have been active in sports my whole life. i have never fainted. just this past january i started really getting anxious so i made an apt with a specialist cardiologist at st thomas hospital in nashville,tn. he reviewed all my tests. i had also have a stress test done and it was normal. but he wanted to do all my tests again. the stress test came back normal as was my ekg. he ordered the results from my previous echo and said the doc that evalutaed my echo over-exagerated the thickness of my left v. and said that is was normal. i have an inner ear problem and lately i have been having some weird fuzzy/lightheaded feelings. those feelings send me strait into a panic attack. the doc says my ears are impacted. could that be causing my symtoms. i dont smoke. i eat a very healthy diet. i drink in moderation. just looking for some help. i am 5 11 190 pounds.
