Dizziness, spaced out feeling, head pain, sinus pressure and feeling shaky

For the past 4 years I have been experiencing horrible symptoms. It seemed that the whole thing started as a sinus infection but then I went for a CT scan of sinuses and they were clear. I have been having symptoms of dizziness, head pain, shakiness and a spaced out kind of foggy feeling like i am watching my life from the outside - all day every day. There are some times for a couple of hours during the day that the symptoms may lift and give me a few moments to live- but not much. I have been to about 30 doctors- including ENT's allergists, neurologists, chiropracters, opthamologists. psychologists, dentists and everything else u can think of. All CT scans, MRI of brain and blood work keep coming back clean and ok. Nothing I try seems to work. There was a period of time about 3 and a half years ago that the symptoms lifted for about 4 months and then it returned full force. Some of the weird parts are that the shakiness seems to be seasonal - coming in spring and lasting thru summer and its miserable like a tingling pins and needles sensation thru out my body. I have also been getting what some doctors seem to diagnose as recurring sinus infections- like 10 a year- i take anti biotics and i feel slightly better until the next infection but i still have the other symtoms while I am on the medication.  I have hay fever and allergies to mold dust...Every doctor tried diagnosing something different- like migraines or TMJ or some sort of other odd thing. I've tried tons of medications. I dont usually have all the symptoms at once...they kind of take turns.  One doctor suggested moving to Arizona as it may be a sinus issue but the ENT's say I have no sinus isue- just regular allergies and the allergists say that they have never seen symptoms like these for allergies. I tried psychologists even though the ony reason I am stressed out is cuz I can never live....before this sickness I was the happiest person around- and even psychologists turned me away as normal.  Is there anyone out there that may know something that can help me - please??......I can not go on like this anymore

Here is my suggestion, if you have a chronic issue as concerning as you have described (this is no way to live) ... go see a Functional medicine doctor.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a cop-out in my opinion ... yes, you are always tired ... but WHY? is the better question.  There is ALWAYS a why.  I won't even go into the plethora of symptoms that I was experiencing, but I sounded VERY much like you.  In my case it turned out that I was exposed to mold for many years.  My body was in a high inflamation cycle (CIRS).  I thought I may be dying, it was horrible.  I was shunted around the ENT's, cardiologists, internal med, GI docs, you name it .. everyone had a test, and I passed every one.  But I was feeling horrible ... I felt like I wasn't in my own body, like I was part of a dream sequence.  Functional med. docs are the only ones that could finally put the pieced together.  Do not give up on your health, it will effect every experience in your life.  Here is how you can find a functional med. doc: https://www.functionalmedicine.org/practitioner_search.aspx?id=117

Anyone still looking for an answer, I have all those symptoms too. Look up "Chronic Fatigue syndrome". It is on many sites and the Center for Disease Control has a great site. Hard to diagnose, but all of you who have been through a million tests with no answer. Read about Chronic Fatigue syndrome. Could be your answer. Good luck to you all, I so can relate. My Doc is trying to treat me now. I have a big problem with my blood pressure dropping when I stand. Not many Docs think to check that and I think that's causes alot of the symptoms. Worth checking.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION, ATTENTION please do not disregard this, read thoroughly and give it a try.

I have ALL absolutely exact symptoms that have been described here

It is a very simple but often missed and misdiagnosed thing: Inner Ear Fluid Buildup, often caused by common cold or flue or ear infection, symptoms may appear long after the cold or flue is gone, during exercising, sauna, getting hot etc.

Causes brain pressure, vertigo, fogginess, feeling of fainting, causes panic, panic in turn cause excess adrenaline, elevated heart rate etc...

My simple solution was iodine. Iodine MUST be diluted before applied directly into the ear. Put 2 drops of regular over the counter 2.5% iodine into a teaspoon of warm FILTERED water, use a dropper to put 2 drops of diluted iodine solution into one ear, wait 5 minutes or until u start to feel a burning sensation in the ear, turn over, let it drain, the burning sensation will continue for the next 10-30 minutes. Repeat with other ear.

Do twice daily, morning/evening you may start feeling relief within the hour.

Iodine is very good for you in moderate amounts, it is cancer fighting agent.

There must be millions of us out there, suffering needlessly! I want to thank the person that wrote about the candida and clenching teeth connection.

I saw over 60 doctors, yes I did! I had every single test many three or four times  Hundreds of test, 3 head CT. I even had  exploratory surgery, , biopsy, dental cavitation surgery. ozone and hydrogen peroxide IV'S and UV spiral!  The Lyme Literate doctor checked me for Lyme through IGenex twice it was negative, I was sooooo happy, but I what was causing my:
Dizziness,
Losing balance
Stiff neck,
Clenching my teeth
Flu like feeling,
Blurred vision,
Brain Fog
Forgetful,
Heart Palpitations,
Heat intolerant
Wheezing
Weakness
Skin tingling stinging burning sensation
Sound sensitivity, and light sensitive
Pressure in my head
I felt like my brain was gone, it was like was watching a dream within  a dream state, talking and listening  was  draining sometime It was like my brain switch was off .it was crazy! I could hardly go anywhere I would get  car sick especially if someone drove around the corners to fast .  Finally a  doctor that is total genius with three different types of doctorates, diagnosed me with Mycotoxins illness, is also known as biotoxin illness, which is black mold exposure. .  My husband tore open the wall in the bathroom  and guess what we had   odorless black mold in our pretty new house five years old house The black mold breathes out toxic byproducts and it is pretty scary stuff!!. If you are a Vet you might have been sprayed with a more potent version of this stuff  when you were at war. Please look up the pioneer, Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker he has trained doctors all over the world that can help ! I was put on purest form of Cholestyramine, Springgreen 77 which is a  clay,  zeolites, charcoal and couple other things.  Plus I got a mouth guard, got regular massage  and got on the   SCD diet  We moved and was told by my doctor to never, ever return to our house, once your sensitized you cannot return to even a remediated mold house.    I took the medicine for about 18 mths. I still  had  heart palpitations, reoccurring yeast infection I believe it was from all the antibiotics I took when doctor were trying to figure out what was wrong with me, which causes fungal/ candida overgrowth my doctor put me on antifungal that he sees the most success with which is Diflucan I took it for 30 days.  I needed a .long term treatment for fungal/candida overgrowth. So, I got with my ND and I'm  alternating medicine, GSE, Caprylic acid, Allimax , Berberine, Pau' arco, and oregano oil 1-2 drops in water all day. And probiotics 2-3x a day. On top all of this , the mold exposure caused sinus issues, the 5th ENT doctor, showed me my x-ray of a seriously blocked sinus which was causing  major infection, this was all caused from breathing in toxic  mold byproduct which has inflamed my sinuses for so long that now I need surgery. The ENT was a professor at the medical university so I knew I was in good hands Surgery was successful !
I'm lucky to be writing this today because my doctor believes if I had stayed in the mold house I would of eventually had a heart attack from breathing in the mycotoxins and it byproducts .  I  thank God everyday for my life! If your still looking for a cure for this I want  everyone to know that I believe  there is  a cure for every illness, Do not give up and keep looking there is an answer out there.
