Feels like im walking on a boat

[lovemyjays]

Hello everyone. For the past few weeks since my daughter has been born, ive been experiencing a sensation of walking pn a boat. It started a few days after I came home from the hospital. I had this same problem after I had my son in june 2010 and it went away in the end of august and I never knew the cause. Does anyone know what can cause this? Its a horrible feeling and hard to function witj it. I also get pressure and tingling in my head pain behind my left eye and pain in my left ear also get really bad headaches. Im hoping it will go away sooner than afew months. If snyone has any advice I really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Well....usually the physician will do a physical exam and will ask you about your symptoms and when they began. It is important you are very precise about this.  Vestibular testing and/or other testing should be ordered as well.  The Neurologist or an ENT Specialist should be able to treat you IF this is an inner ear issue.  Let me warm you though, inner ear issues can be STUBBORN to treat.  Not 100% sure if this is one though.

Well....see the Neurologist and get the MRI done.  

I am thinking this COULD be Labyrinthitis.  

So sorry you have to wait and you still aren't really feeling better.

They gave me nausea meds which helped and meclizine for dizziness which isnt helping and torodol for the headache and its not helping either. The catscan was normal and the blood work was normal. He said I need to see a neuro and have an mri which my appt is for the 26th. So well see :/

Well....oh dear.  I feel for you.  

Get the CT scan done and go from there.  Did they give you something for the nausea and vomiting?  I hope so.  

Hang in there dear.  Keep me posted.
