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

Did you look at the link I posted? I have an appointment in April to see if this is what i'm experiencing. I've been experiencing these symptoms for around a decade. Worth checking out for sure

I feel the same way. Spaced out, dizzy, stomac issues and severe sinus pains. It all started one day. It's terrible and nothing seems to help. I'm desperately in need of some help.

I have also had similar issues, trying to figure out what is wrong with me.  I have blurred vision, and lots of "floaters" in the eye.  I constantly feel pressure in my head, and soreness at the back of my head.  I have dizzy spells on a regular basis.  I also can't get to sleep at night without taking a sleeping pill.  My Dr. prescribed me with a sleeping pill to get me to sleep, but I was only sleeping for approx. 5 hours a night.  So, she has now added a anti-depressant to help me sleep longer.  Works great for sleeping, but hasn't helped with the head pressure, blurred vision & pain in the back of my head.  I feel like I'm going crazy and just want to feel normal again.  I've had these symptoms since the beginning of November 2012.  Going to the Dr. on Monday to try and figure out what is going on!!!

I tripped on a bike at work and in trying to save myself jarred my back slightly. At the time I only had mild pain in my back back nothing else. As the days went on I started having pains in my left arm around the bicep area. Some times it felt like a cramp that would not let go and left my arm feeling heavy and weak. After 3 weeks on holidays I had no problem, but my first day back at work where I had to lift a heavy item the pain has returned. I don't have any worse pain at night but the pain comes on quite severly and suddenly even when I am at rest. Anyone else suffer these symptoms?
