been ill nearly 5 months now with what started as irregular heartbeat and generally not feeling well,a few days later the severe headache,neck and earache and vertigo started with a dislike of loud noises and bright light and loss of periods and tinitis a blood test showed an increase of white blood cells which i was told was a viral infection and id be fine in a few weeks but iv had a ct scan which was normal hormone test was normal hearing test which was normal but 5 months on i still have the same constant headache,earache and not so much vertigo but dizziness all day and a stiff and sore neck and still no period,after going back to my gp i was told am imagining my symptoms and am depressed i was totally gob smacked and speechless he said my symptoms dont fit into one box so i must be depressed i was horrified,no am not doing cartwheels because id probably fall over but just to dismiss me as being depressed is astounding and am still left with my symptoms and feel like i couldnt possiably go back to my gp as he thinks am some sort of hypochondriac.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The symptoms mentioned could be caused by cervical spondylosis. Some metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are known to simulate these symptoms. Please consult your primary care physician who will carry out blood tests and x rays to rule out these conditions. You seem to be very anxious and in pain, take OTC pain medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Try applying local analgesic creams.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
