Hello, in December I started feeling like my head is not going well, not typical dizziness but that feeling that a part of my head is trembling from the inside all the day, and heavy eyes , barely i can focus , neck pain and sometimes headache. I went to my neurologist and he said that’s migraine. I took zinacen and felt well for 2 months until i stopped the med . The dizziness came back on daily basis all the day. I am so depressed. Could it really be migraine? Do u have smilar symptoms?
Sorry to hear Sally.
I have dizziness and headaches/migraine every day. My consultant gave me amitriptyline as he felt it was VM but when this issue first started in Sep 23 I didn’t have any headache/migraines. So I think they are a symptom rather than the cause of the dizziness. I have asked to see a Neurologist, still awaiting my appointment. Will see what they say, depending how long the wait goes I may go private.
Yes, it could (and probably is) migraine. Make another appointment with your neurologist. There are many meds that can be prescribed, but it’s a trial-and-error process to see what works. Some of us take meds for awhile then are able to quit, some take them only as needed, and others (like me) take them every day. There are also other treatments that may be appropriate including vestibular therapy. Make that appointment ASAP.
The jury is still out for me. Some things about my presentation suggested something else but there has been loads of “migraine” flags too, like the way I can get uncomfortable in mixed lighting (artificial and natural light at same time) and for a while got strange forehead discomfort which was like a kind of brain rumble (so weird!). Then there were the scintillating scotomas which are definitely migraine. Chicken and egg. The main game here is symptom control so consider all conservative options!
