Yes apologies if I came across glib. Was just being succinct & factual. I certainly did not mean to offend you, or put you off.
You picked a fairly recent thread so all good.
Lawrence, you are most welcome here and the board members are very generous with their time as they know how tough these conditions are.
Yep, it’s hard for many who’ve never experienced it to understand.
Welcome,
Did the doctor ever test you to rule out the following :
Subclavian steal syndrome
Thoracic Outlet syndrome ( elongated C7 transverse process and the cervical rib )
Arteriovenous venous fistula of brain
Vertebral Artery Insufficiency
These are some vascular diseases that can also cause dizziness.
Some information is available for the cuseses of dizziness on my Facebook page albums and posts "Gracy Kalath "
Good luck!
The test they done so far im not sure about those. i know they ct brain for bloodvessel blockage and stuff mri the c4 and 5 in my neck . I had a spinal tap in qld looking for meningitis in the spinal fluid . so im thinking just generic . I really wanted them to testvmy hormone levels . But they never done bloods for thoose . I have moments not often . Where im off completely then im better . But i have continued moments where simple turns can be difficuilt and they give me this and that .helps this balance issue and also my nervousness . But docs here so easily prrscribe medincines i feel like a guinea pig .
Could you please check your radial pulse and see it gets weaker as you feel the symptoms. If so it could be vascular in nature. Mine does and sometimes I also feel hot & sweaty
Hi, can you elaborate more plz? My symptoms are the worst in narrow spaces and especially if it’s a quiet place (eg. toilets, corridors,…). I get bilateral temporal headache and ear fullness and pressure above my ears and trampoline walking sensation and gravititional pull (aka elevator drop) sensation.
