Chronic dizziness and facial pressure.

My dizziness just came on all of a sudden. One day I was fine, the next I wasn't. My head feels like it is floating ALL the time and I have major pressure in my eyes, across my brow and in my cheeks just under my eyes. I feel like junk 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I

I had the EXACT same thing going on with me for over a year. Extreme dizziness, even vomiting. I could faint on command. Because of this, the anxiety I felt was horrible. I finally found out I had acute sinuitis. Sometimes it comes back once in awhile but I make sure to take antibiotics for it. I would check that out.

I thought I was alone and wondering what all of you found out... I have suffered with these same things you all are describing for 18 months and I have had a CT done, MRI done, did lots of sprays and nothing.  I AM REALLY SICK OF FEELING NOT NORMAL and the doctors think I am nuts.

I have been having very similar symptoms - have been to the ER twice with dizziness, head pressure & chest pains, convinced I was having a heart attack only to have a normal EKG & chest x-ray.  First diagnosis was anxiety, second was bronchitis.  I've had full bloodwork which was totally clear (my doctor even said he wishes he had my labs) and a second EKG which was normal. Even had a stress test which came back normal, although my blood pressure does border on the high side. I don't know if I'm still having panic/anxiety attacks or what, but my head still feels heavy, particularly at the back of head, near the base of the neck.  I have momentary feelings of what almost feels like weightlessness or a sensation of falling backwards and feeling "detached" from myself.  It's also worse when I drink alcohol.  Sometimes the pressure is so intense that I'm popping my ears all day and I have to rub my jaw joints.
Anyone else ever have this or know what I'm describing?  I keep telling myself it's just stress/anxiety but my body isn't responding which makes me think there might really be something wrong.
Thanks!!

I feel the same way!!!! It started after I was diagnosed with a sinus infection 2 months ago and they gave me amoxicillin to clear it. It had only gotten worse so I went to the e.r. for a cat scan. They told me my sinuses look fine and now I have to go back for an mri! I am so scared that it is something entirely different now. I never had these problems before my sinus infection and I am thinking maybe they cannot see the fluid in my inner ear?
