Have you thought about seeing an audiologist to check your inner ear? It might be a smart move. I actually lost my sister right when my own dizziness started, but I didn't realize there was a connection at the time. It took doctors nearly nine months to figure out what was actually wrong with me. When they're stumped, they just hand out tranquilizers. I refused to take them because I have a little one to look after, and I need to stay sharp.
Also, the weather changes really mess with my balance, and I have to stay out of the sun because it makes me feel completely wiped out. Best,
I haven't made it to the audiologist yet, but it's on my list. I'm going to try this homeopathic treatment first; maybe it'll do the trick. Honestly, hospitals and doctors just frustrate me so much. I'm staying far away from those psychiatric meds too—they're intense, and I have a two-year-old son to care for... which makes everything even harder. I was totally incapacitated for a month after my mom passed away, so the idea of going to neurology alone for all those tests sounds exhausting.
I just finished my final acupuncture session and I'm officially moving on to homeopathy!! What can I even say... I'm absolutely desperate... I would try anything at this point just to get my head straight. I realize how radical that sounds... but how do you actually fight this stuff?? Nature, massage therapy... I've tried everything under the sun and nothing works. The thing is, I know the exact day, location, and time when this first hit me.
Even after running countless searches, I still haven't received a single official diagnosis... so it's just me, bouncing from one specialist to another on my own!
Have you noticed any actual difference since starting those calming pills? Did your psychiatrist prescribe them for you? I’ve personally realized my symptoms take a dive whenever the seasons shift. For instance, today feels like total 😢
I tried taking Persene, but I didn't notice any actual improvement, so I just stopped. Sleep isn't really an issue, except for those occasional nights where I wake up feeling dizzy and short of breath, though that doesn't happen too often. What's really bothering me now is this pressure and slight ache at the base of my skull. Good grief... what kind of tests did you end up doing? The doctors over at Mayo Clinic told me everything was fine, so what am I even supposed to do now?
Please let me know how that psychiatric treatment is working out for you. I’m thinking about checking out a balance specialist for my inner ear... and if that turns out okay, then I'll look into seeing a psychiatrist. This sensation in my head is just soul-crushing; sometimes I just spend the whole day crying because I feel so hopeless, and I feel like nobody wants to listen to me vent anymore.
Hi there. Here is my situation... My mother passed away suddenly three months ago due to a brain hemorrhage. Just two days after her passing, I attended a memorial service held at her workplace. During that service, I felt incredibly ill, and ever since that moment, I have been battling these health issues: dizziness, a constant sensation of being seasick, head pressure, fatigue, and clogged ears. This has been happening CONTINUOUSLY, day and night, for three full months now. Occasionally, along with these symptoms, I experience tinnitus and shortness of breath. I waited for three weeks thinking it was just shock, but when things didn't improve, I went to see a neurologist. They ran a CT scan, EKG, EEG, Doppler, and even imaging for my lungs, cervical spine, and an eye exam—everything came back normal. I also had my thyroid checked, and that was fine too. The problem is that this dizziness and vertigo NEVER stop, and it is making it extremely difficult to function in my daily life. I have even tried acupuncture, but it hasn't helped at all. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences? It is truly difficult, and I am terrified I might lose my mind!! Thank you!
