Pressure in head, neck, dizziness, etc.

[scheshire]

I had had this foggy feeling, slight dizziness, pressure in my frontal sinuses. I have had a CT of the brain, shows normal. I had a CT of the sinuses and it showed cists in my frontal sinuses. I went to an ENT and he stated that they are normal and nothing needed to be done for them. I also am experiencing pressure in my neck. I had an X-Ray of my neck done and they stated that they noticed spasms but that was it. So now, I am going to Neurologist next week to see what he can find. I have had chronic allergies all my life but nothing like this, I have never felt like this in my life. Sometimes I feel like I am going to pass out. This is crazy, I am 30 years old and should be living my life to the fullest with my family but I can’t because of this. I wish I could find out what is wrong so I could move on in my life. Any suggestions?

i was recently dx with lyme disease. i have recurrent sinus infections, vertigo, numbness and pressure through neck and head, tingly hands and feet, brain fog, floating head feeling, list goes on. insane symptoms.

i am doing long term antibiotics. *****, caught it late, cuz there was no rash, so docs were baffled.

hope you can all get tested, although even testing is very inaccurate for lyme. horrible disease, with little research.

best of luck to all

I have been suffering from these symptoms for years. It affects every aspect of life. As I write now I am super dizzy. I have dizziness, facial pressure, strange headaches, the headaches shift sides, ears crackle. My md has given me pain killer for years and they relieve the symptoms are there everyday. it drives me insane and gives me depression. I finally read about chronic sinusitis and identified with all symptoms. I went to the ent and he said I have sinusitis on one side and that surgery would relieve the facial pressure, but to talk about the crackling ears and headaches to my md. And I have and all he gives me are pain killers. I don't know what to do. I am desperate. It makes me want to die feeling like this everyday and nobody understands. I am getting a second opinion from a renowned ent and alos going to an ear specialist. My last resource will be a neurologist, since mu symptoms also co inside with neuralgia. And yes, I've tried antibiotics, saline flushes, flounase and nothing. Desperate in Miami.

I just had a spinal tap and yeah, I too have pressure in my ears and mostly stays and gets me down.  I can hear yet I had gotten dehydrated after the spinal tap 3 days alter that landed me in the hospital and this all came on the never ending ear pressure it appears. Also, as I have all year round allergies my nose is always clogged and I think that too has brought it on.  Not happy and no answers it appears as well before this I did see 3 ents.  SO out of work and no real Life as of yet besides problems

Hello Daniel, I feel your pain, but i want to tell you that you cant let these symptoms get you down. I have these same symptoms for over 20 years  and no diagnosis. I was about 29 when my symptoms started and I am 53 years ol now, I went to ENT, CT scan done and no tumor. I suffer from  seasonal allergy and not sure if its related. I feel like i get intermittent hearing loss but when i did hearing test it is normal. I have pain in the left ear, neck and shoulder, dizziness and fogginess and somtimes feel like I am going to pass out.  I am now thinking that  for me it may be psycological, because if I  get a little depressed and dont keep busy my  symptoms worsen. I am going to see a neuroligist and see if they may have a solution to the problem. Warm compress and Flonase seem to help me somtimes when my left nostril feels clogged.  Exersise and keep busyalso help.

All of you guys symptoms sound like the same I have experienced now for over a year. Went to ENT and he told me OTC nasal spray was my problem. Prescribed Flonase, but my neck problems were still there. Finally searched more, and found out clogged Eustachian Tubes will cause the middle ear to get clogged and infected. Try squeezing nose closed and blowing until you feel your ears get completely stopped up. Then swallow and unstop them. You should feel the need to cough up the congestion. Try using saline to flush it out, but you may need steroids and steroid nasal spray to get fully over it. Hope this helps you guys out, as I have went through misery too long.
