Dizzy/bppv?/sick flu like weakness/ faint felling etc

Really strange and nightmare health turn. all stated during trip to Cincinnati Ohio trip on may 12 I felt really bad and very weak like flu. So bad that took to wheelchair. But did hit back of head in soft spot on table as I was laying back on air mattress. Was fweling bad before though.Went to er on way back one nurse thought one ear was inflamed he had to dig around and looke good and he looked at tonsils said they were still to inlarged from the tonsillitis I had a month before thought body is still fighting it. But doc the actuly doc did not see me tell very end and said was just fatige tests show fine. Need more done but he would not do it.arge .Just wonding if that virus good have went to ear? Any way little bit better with rest
then all the vertigo and real bads nausa could not eat much for weeks lost 20ilbs.which told bppv no one would do eply had to wait a month to see ent.was given prednisone which put me in more daze and gave real cold bad shakes shot bloodpressure up 170 over 100 somthing and was then give after that that put me in complete brain fog/ weak couldn't thank which stoped after off it for a for few weeks but still don't feel right. so medicine may have prolonged this. Also noticed i was geting dizzy after using sinus rinse. Before trip .Was not as dizzy before and after doing them felt like i might have got water in ears so i shook my head alot. Wish i have never used the rinse.this was before trip. Now having still having a little balance issue but mainly truple with eyes thing i see move give bad feeling and they dont seem to want to focus and there alot blurrer then before all this started matter of fact eye doc first time seeing one said near sighted 20.50 but i know i could see clearer before all this. Also main thing still bothering me is eye thing even somtimes hurt and bothers eyes to look at phone. And can't focus and concentrate to whatch tv and light headed have wooshy swimy head fealing when moving at times.weak in daze feel like i going to faint some days and barly stay to myself like out of not conected to world.some Sorry for long story. Just want to get back to myself and well. Before all this went to Florida in 2016 did 3 theme parks one day no problems was well. Also have seen ent did vng thought bppv but it was a month in to symptoms so nysteagmes had stoped he though had slower moving fluid left side and a tiny nystagmus. So did eply sent home with to to do for left side. No ear pressure showed and no hearing loss becouse seen another ent to who done hearing test. But he almost is saying he don't think it's ears possable butsending me to nuraligist and vrt rehab.also all blood work they have done all the basics plus few others show good no high white blood count. Have had that many times due to er visits. Had ct said fine ultra  sound of abdominal and ct showed fine other than fatty lever. Only think I have been told is low vita d 13.4 and scored low on pulmonary stress test which showed low lung capicity 60 67 with inhaler but xray chest clear and test for copd says not predposed. Mid you did not have shot of breath before all mentioned I have spent days crying and so stressed out couse I can't do anything tell .also can't take any inhalers for side effects.all of them. Update recent spirometry came back nomal Any one have any ideas or advice just want life back.

now still swimy type headed light headed have trouble focusing eyes watching movement bothers me ever bad felling or almost some sort of disconnect hard to explain. vission has changed during all this as well. But eye doc says eyes fine just need glasses for nearsightedness 1.50 percription.  Cant wear caouse throughs more dizzyness and is just to much on top of everything.Eyes were fine or clearer before all this. Also heart rate is up some days when standing and moving can go all the way 136 to 140 pulse rate. Not always though last few days been down around 100 to 115 some time little lower?

HI I'm thinking that hyperthyroidism is cousing all my symptoms. TSH is 0.28 and the norm lab range for the lab is 0.50 to 4.00. It covers all symptoms. But a endro won't see me tell a dignosess. Is made. Actuly doc is checking adrenal stuff but I looked over latest blood work she has not seen.actuly in may my tsh was 0.89 has declined since. My mother grand mother and aunt all have had thyroid issues.

Actuly TSH was 0.59 in may now 0.28.
I see. You usually get a goiter with that. Do you have a swelling under your neck? Did your family? Did they have hypothyroid issues or hyperthyroid issues?

Did you look at the symptoms of hyperthyroid:

Have you also had weight loss?

It is starting to sound like that.

Hi, the nausea and vertigo is from the ear problem. You might want to get a CT scan of the brain to make sure there is nothing going on behind the ear just to rule that out. I had severe vertigo and mine was a migraine issue. So they did the CT to rule out the head issue and then I was tested migraine. You can can a neurologist that is good with migraines and see if that is causing your problem. They can at least check you out and if it is not neurological they can refer you to the right doctor. But, they may try some medication first to see if it stops the vertigo . It depends on if your test is positive for a migraine. But also if you hit your head you could have gotten a concussion. So you should also ask about that if you know you  may have done that. If it is a concussion it would cause eye problems, and a lot of your symptoms. It makes sense. It takes a long time for the symptoms to go away.

ThanKs the response. I have been to two differnt ent docs. They have run vng hearing test and cheacked with certain device if I have fluid in ear.ent said everything looks fine in ears don't thank it's ears.he sending me to nuraligist which is doing ans *** test and eeg. Also seeing a cardiologist he has done the tilt table dis not show anything. Now has me on heart monitor  2 weeks. Er has done a CT without contrest. But I'm thanking mri of head and neck.concussion thing possable have looked that up has symptoms. I hit head on back of headaround bone inbetween laying back on air mattriess it hurt but i did not see stars or anything. Was feeling weak bad beforw but maybe not like bext days after wood.Also heart rate has been all over the place can be upper 70 one minute to 80 90 100 just sit in standing it 100 to 115 somtimes all the way to 136 or 140.
Hi I think you are on the right track. I think it is possible you got a concussion so it is good you are getting those tests done just in case. Also, the EEG is good to look for arhythmias because the EKG only looks at a snapshot of the heart rhythm and so you can see a lot more over time. It is a high heart beat so I'm not sure see what the cardiologist says about that. Good to see the neuro. So all the things you are doing are good to try to figure out what is going on. Let me know what you find out.
