Dizzy....but not dizzy....

[Nat79]

Hi there. I have been feeling constantly dizzy for about 4 months now....well when I say dizzy its more a feeling of my brain floating in my head, a feeling of lightheadedness which sometimes makes me feel quite 'spaced out' and like im drunk/drugged (when I havent drunk alcohol or taken any drugs!). Sometimes my eyes feel like they are really fighting to focus, dont get me wrong my vision is fine, it just feels like everything is more of an effort. Sometimes the dizziness is not too bad, and sometimes it gets much worse but there doesnt seem to be any triggers to it.

I have had an MRI which came back normal. My Neurologist has now written me off and is referring me back to my doctor so as he can refer me to a Neurootologist.

I would like to know if anyone has had any similar symptoms and also suggestions of things it could be would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Yes im still having problems, its been constant since it started 6 months ago.
What symptoms do you have? And what tests have they done on you?
I am currently waiting for a referral to come through for a Neurology Hospital but they keep losing my referral which is winding me up and making me stressed which isnt helping!

Hi Nat,

Are you still having your problems? They sound a lot like mine and I have gone to an assortment of doctors and for many tests.
Do you ever get a feeling of pressure in your head and cheeks too?

Well I live near a small electricity sub station and had read about living/working near these can cause dizziness if the emf is too high....so it was to rule that out.

I have weakness which seems to come on very suddenly, especially when im tired. I do not have jerky muscle movements.

alright what is the elecrto magnatic field this is to rule out what???

and do u have other symptoms,,like tremor,,,weakness or jerky muscles movments??

Well I have had the normal blood tests which came back normal. I was referred to a Neurologist who did an MRI of my head only, this showed nothing abnormal. Now I am waiting to be referred to a Neuro-otologist. I have ruled out any carbon monoxide poisoning, I have an electro magnetic field reader which showed the levels in my flat were normal....so I am trying to rule out things I can as the doctors here take far to long to do anything! Oh and I am also in the process of having a food allergy test done to see if cutting out any foods im intolerant to might help!
