Well, the tests positively identified the original cause of my vertigo as an inner ear weakness, probably caused by a relatively mild virus I had a bit earlier that apparently went to my ear. I don't think a psych condition could be involved in that.
It probably is true that people who are very sensitive to the signals from their body would have a tendency to be more aware of inner ear differences, and they may also be more likely to have psychiatric conditions.
But I doubt the correlation is precise. Or at least in my case I know it's not all in my head.
The ENT told me my brain would retrain itself to the new normal in balance inputs from my inner ears, and so it did. I guess it just lost some of its training in the stress of that week. I dunno.
