Persistent Symptoms

I have been experiencing symptoms for that last month that come and go.  They include:
slight blurry vision with light sensitivity
yellow discharge noted from my eyes in the morning, especially the right eye
left neck stiffness, especially in the morning
occasional headache, mostly occipital
vertigo with occasional pulling and pushing motion
sensation of head bobbing and shaking even when sitting
occasional head heaviness
occasional facial fullness
occasional inner ear fullness with warm burning/tingling sensation extending to the sides of my face
frequent sneezing and nasal congestion
Chills-once only

I went to the doctor(Belgian) about two-three weeks ago and had about half these symptoms then.  Some of
the symptoms I originally had have become minimal, but unfortunately I have new ones now.  I am
fustrated.  I am normally an active person doing two to three things at a time.  My mornings are the
worst.  The physician prescribed betahistine and said it was something going on with the inner ear.  
Well, I figured that much out, but now I have these other symptoms.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I moved to Belgium in June and in August I started noticing these symptoms.  I am from Ohio
originally.  

These symptoms get worse with anxiety.  I never had this before in my life.
My stress level had been really intense for the last 3-4 months.  

Miserable Patient

You commented on my post back in September.  I wanted to tell you that you were correct about the problem stemming from my neck/spine.  The anxiety is secondary to the problems I am having.  I have a C4C5 bulging disc with possible diagnosis of Chiari Malformation noted on my cervical MRI.  I am not seeing a chiro; seeing a spine specialist and NS next month.

Hello~It sounds to me like most of the symptoms are anxiety related, being under stress can cause all kinds of weird feelings. If there is one in your area, I would see a chiropractor, he/she can help with lots of the symptoms you listed as they could be stemming from a pinched nerve in your neck or spine.
