Hi everyone, I've been posting about my vertigo/dizziness and wanted to hopefully get some help/advice...I'm really sad/scared and could use some advice.....Like my previous pasts I've had vertigo for 9 days now, I saw my doctor and they did blood work and it was compltely normal, I have an ENT appt this Wednesday.
Girls at work suggested I get my eyes checked so I did on Friday, the eye doc said I have perfect vision and my eyes looked good but once he dialted them he said he was a little concerned about my ocular nerves. He said they looked a little differently then they should and there was some pressure on the nerves, so he referred me to a Neurologist to get an MRI/Cat Scan but they can not see me until next Thursday....on my referral he wrote: Rule Out Papilledema....to say the least I goggled this and am now scared to death....first of all, Papilledema is mainly caused from brain tumors and now I'm so paranoid I can barely make it thru the day. Today is the first day my vertigo is actually in check/calm and now my nerves are so shot that I feel so nauscious. The doctor said he didnt want to scare me but wanted to be precautionary and just make sure nothing serious was causing this.
Does anyone have any advice/opinion/help. I am so discouraged/nervous that what I thought was just an inner ear infection is now something more serious....it could be nothing or it could be something....HELP! :(
