Multiple symptoms

[adalderman]

I am a 29 year old female and since Sunday night I have been experiencing what I believe is a migraine (I have had them since I was 18). The only thing this time it is much worse than I usually have. I am off balance when I get up, constant dizziness in my head, intense pressure in both my ears and pain behind my eyes as well as the migraine. My main reason for concern is that my mother was just diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer and it all started when she hit her head and was misdiagnosed with Vertigo. After many tests they discovered that it had moved to her brain and throughout other areas in the body, so I was wondering if anybody else is having these issues or should I be worried enough that I get checked for Cancer.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
More than cancer, you should check for a pinched cervical spinal nerve. This can cause headache, dizziness and even vomiting. Anemia, postural hypotension, TMJ and temporal arteritis too should be looked for.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!

You need to get this checked out.  I am wondering if you have sinusitus too.  This is extremely painful.

You should always get headaches checked out,but it do sound like tension headaches to me,brought on much worse because you are natrually worried with regards to your mothers condition,just ask your doctor for tests so that you know either way,when i had tests and they came back normal all my headaches stopped.

Wow. That does not sound good.  I know that some of the symptoms could be migraines.  My daughter is 12 and her migraines cause those symptoms.  I wonder if you are getting something that you are allergic to in your food or environment.  If you are concerned about cancer...seek your doctor for help or peace of mind.  I know that migraines are not fun.  I would suggest reading about them. My daughter takes Maxalt and it has great information on women's migraines.  Check it out.
