Chronic dizziness and facial pressure.

[Nelli02]

My dizziness just came on all of a sudden. One day I was fine, the next I wasn't. My head feels like it is floating ALL the time and I have major pressure in my eyes, across my brow and in my cheeks just under my eyes. I feel like junk 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I

Hydrocodone is a narcotic pain drug and requires a written prescription from a narcotics licensed physician to obtain the drug. I experience the full blown panic attacks, and live with constant severe back pain. Diphenhydramine is a totally different class of drugs and is available OTC.

I have these same problems. One day I was standing in my kitchen and all of a sudden I got so dizzy that I almost fell over. The severe dizziness subsided within about a minute but since then (about 6 months ago) I have been left with a lingering problem. I am constantly mildly dizzy, not even so much dizzy a just disoriented. My eye sight seems strange, a little fuzzy, difficult to focus on one thing for more than a second. There is constant pressure in my face, especially behind and below my eyes. Sometimes when I move my head suddenly the severe dizziness comes back. Some days its just annoying, others its debilitating. The symptoms seem to increase when I am hungry and havent eaten in a few hours. I am trying to be positive, but its hard not to be depressed when you feel "weird" everyday. I guess its somewhat of a relief that there are others out there with the same problem. I have had MRI, CT Scans, Sinus Scans, Blood Tests this bizarre eye test where you have to wear these goggles with a camera and they spray hot and cold water into your ears. I have been told it could be vertigo, a sinus infection, and various other things. Does anyone think it could be caused by something in my house, like a gas leak or asbestos or something? Can anyone help me? Please?

I've been having similar symptoms for over two weeks now.  When I went to my physician he gave me anti-anxiety drugs which I've decided not to take until I find the cause of the dizziness (a side effect of the drugs is dizziness).  He did a blood test and everything came back normal, normal blood pressure as well.  
I sometimes have post-nasal drip that occasionally causes nausea/gagging.  My ears pop many times a day and it feels like there's mild pressure in them all the time.  There's no runny nose, barely any mucus at all besides the post-nasal.
The dizziness is most intense when I'm trying to focus my eyes on something (reading a book, computer screen, television).  This makes me think it's something neurological rather than sinus related.  I went to the eye doctor and other than my prescription changing half a point, he said I have two healthy eyes.
This dizziness and the fear of it being something serious is causing me much stress, seems like sometimes the stress and the dizziness are both relieved by a good cry.  This makes me think that it's something sinus related.
Nothing seems to match up and any relief seems to be temporary.  I'm glad to know I'm not the only person feeling this way.  Anymore information you have or suggestions would be much appreciated.  I just want to feel NORMAL again!

Thanks!

have you had any answers to your facial pressure?  My husband has been dealing with this, mainly on the left side of his face for 6 years.  The doctors think we are crazy and keep prescribing more and more pills.  

Any information would be so appreciated!

Finally I don't feel CRAZY and alone.  I had an upper left root canal 13 weeks ago.  When I got up out of the chair I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach.  It felt as though he installed an electric toothbrush in the back/top of my skull.  It got MUCH worse, I couldn't cope with life and felt as though I was on a boat that was constantly rocking which made me so sick to my stomach.  This has been 24/7 it's all day every day and has never gone away in over 3 months.   I want to ER had CT it was normal.  They said my left sinus looked a LITTLE blocked and sent me home with flonaise.  I then had an MRI, it was normal.  They said my sinuses and ears look normal.  I used flonaise and it helped a little.    I got zithramiacine 5 day packet and some afrin.  That helped a little for a few days then it came back again as bad as when it began.  I had an ENT VNG study that showed my right ear was only working at 46% billateral.  I have no idea what that means.  I just want my life back and I want to feel normal again.  I started an all liquid nutrition diet 2 weeks ago. I eat no sugar and take in NO caffeine.  I take B/12 sublingually 3 times a day.  I exercise regularly and I am VERY positive about my thoughts and not focusing on the illness but trying to read and keep my spirits up constantly.  
I've seen 3 dentists they all say it wasn't the root canal.  They all say my tooth is normal.  The ENT people say my sinuses are clear.   The ear specialist says my right ear isn't normal but I cannot understand what her point it.  At the end of the appointment she asked if I tried tylenol!  SERIOUSLY!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! She said clinical correlation is recommended with test results.  What does that mean?
I'm so sorry for what you are going through I do feel your pain.  
Tests done:  MRI, CT, ENT, VNG (abnormal unilateral weakness 46% to the right), Blood work up!
Meds tried and didn't work:  Flonaise, afrin, zithromiacin, B-12, sudafed night/daytime, tylenol, motrin, meclazine.
