Dizziness, spaced out feeling, head pain, sinus pressure and feeling shaky

For the past 4 years I have been experiencing horrible symptoms. It seemed that the whole thing started as a sinus infection but then I went for a CT scan of sinuses and they were clear. I have been having symptoms of dizziness, head pain, shakiness and a spaced out kind of foggy feeling like i am watching my life from the outside - all day every day. There are some times for a couple of hours during the day that the symptoms may lift and give me a few moments to live- but not much. I have been to about 30 doctors- including ENT's allergists, neurologists, chiropracters, opthamologists. psychologists, dentists and everything else u can think of. All CT scans, MRI of brain and blood work keep coming back clean and ok. Nothing I try seems to work. There was a period of time about 3 and a half years ago that the symptoms lifted for about 4 months and then it returned full force. Some of the weird parts are that the shakiness seems to be seasonal - coming in spring and lasting thru summer and its miserable like a tingling pins and needles sensation thru out my body. I have also been getting what some doctors seem to diagnose as recurring sinus infections- like 10 a year- i take anti biotics and i feel slightly better until the next infection but i still have the other symtoms while I am on the medication.  I have hay fever and allergies to mold dust...Every doctor tried diagnosing something different- like migraines or TMJ or some sort of other odd thing. I've tried tons of medications. I dont usually have all the symptoms at once...they kind of take turns.  One doctor suggested moving to Arizona as it may be a sinus issue but the ENT's say I have no sinus isue- just regular allergies and the allergists say that they have never seen symptoms like these for allergies. I tried psychologists even though the ony reason I am stressed out is cuz I can never live....before this sickness I was the happiest person around- and even psychologists turned me away as normal.  Is there anyone out there that may know something that can help me - please??......I can not go on like this anymore

Hello all I have had all of these symptoms, and I've spent two years seeing all kinds of doctors healers and therapists to find the cause. Finally I figured it out--there was mold in my home. In my basement and right under my bedroom. Mold is insidious and will destroy your life. You should invest in having an air quality expert come and test your home. Their readings will show if you have indoor mold. There is a lot of information at surviving mold.com. It is the website of dr shoemaker who is the expert on biotoxin illness resulting from indoor mold exposure. He is treating me now and I am getting better. Many health professionals know nothing about illness from mold exposure, and you will receive a phantom diagnosis of low testosterone or chronic fatigue or depression. These are all symptoms of biotoxin illness. I wish someone would've told me this two years ago. That's why I'm telling you all now. I can't stress it enough--don't waste time check your home air quality. I'm certain many of you will find its mold making ou sick. Good luck.

Hi I know that this post is from years ago but I just come across it today so maybe somebody will get to read this. All of these symptoms describe exactly how I've been feeling for the past ten months, I couldn't believe it! At first I put it down to dehydration, then GAD, then sinusitis; the list is endless I was beginning to think I'd never find help!
However, I've recently been looking into the symptoms of Aspartme poisoning and can not believe that I have overlooked it as a possibility for such a long time! Aspsrtme is an artificial sweetner which is found in a lot kf sugar free ir low sugar snacks and drinks. Aspartme poisoning affects us in the ways which have been described in this post: ringing in ears, brain fog, sinus congestion and the constant fatigue. Please look into this as a possibility and cut out aspartme from your diet! I started doing it two days ago and an already seeing an incredible improvement.

I have all the same problems as everyone is saying. I had a MRI done said possible cerebellar tonsillar ectopia long word yes but check it out. I go to chiropractor and he said around my ear is not lined up properly which could be cause of these feelings,but won't align it until I see the neurologist. He said once he can align the prob I will feel so much better. I hate the butterfly feeling in my gut and looking at things as if there distorted they off balance and concentration are awful to. I'm off work because of this. Sure is nice not being alone in this. When you have things like this happening to you it's like your alone. But get those things I mention check and the meds the docs give you do not help a bit.

My doctor said these symptoms are hormone related and also related to the menstrual cycle.  He said one of the side affects of Aleve is that it minimizes all of the hormone changes and therefore the symptoms decrease and disappear. It has worked for me. And if I forget to take the Aleve for a few days, the symptoms recur.  It seemed too easy to be true, but too simple not to try.  So I tried it and I am so glad I did.  Ausea was also one if my symptoms. I  was taking a medicine that is given to chemo patients for my nausea. But once I began the daily Aleve regimen, I no longer needed medicine for nausea either.
