Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cirrhosis patients are more prone for metabolic abnormalities like uremia (raised blood urea).
And uremia can cause dizziness.
So better to first get done blood report for urea levels.
If urea is elevated then you should start treatment for this.
If urea is normal then possibility of anxiety is more.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
You may also need anxiolytic drugs too
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
