Driving is killing me!

I am a 34 year old female. About a year ago, while I was driving, I noticed a sensation, as if I were going to fall while entering a curve. The symptoms seemed to get worse, to the point of panic attacks. My primary Dr. gave me a prescription of Meclizine, that seemed to help a little, and some sort of of anti-depressant (which I never took). At that time he diagnosed me with vertigo. He them referred me to a EENT, who then sent me for allergy tests, motion balance test and a ct scan. All was normal with the exception of the motion balance test. The Dr. said that my eyes were not in sinc with my mind. I was then referred to a neurologist for further testing, which I cancelled the appt.

Now, a year later, I am still having a hard time driving. I find myself driving like and old lady, the driver that everyone hates. I feel myself swaying and I noticed that I tilt my head. Sometimes during the day I feel some pressure on my brain, as if someone is massaging it or even a feeling like I have chills inside my head.

Please help me, or at least, I suppose, tell me why I should continuely go from Dr. to Dr. and get no help at all.

Sincerely,
Deb

I have no good excuse other than I started getting the bills in the mail from my insurance. Apparently they were not getting the referrals that is required by my insurance. And working 80 hours a week, 20 of which is my comute, didn't help. I suppose, I just didn't want to deal with it. I then decided to live with, what I call, my head condition.
