Been like a week now and ive been to hospital 3 times.

covid test x 2 = negative.
blood tests fine. Heart testing-fine. Even did a scan of my brain yesterday and said no abnormalities.

I get really hot in my forehead and other areas it feels like its burning and also feel dizzy and cant really function all day. Barely can make my food or do anything.
Anyone have something similar before?
if this turns out to be something I have to live with.. im not going to.
scared for my life honestly srs

Last 20 years or so off and on. Lot more the last few. Don't know what's causing it. When the lights are out, like when I first wake up, it gets a lot worse. Feel like puking. If I turn around too fast, same thing. Though I'm ok if I play basketball.

Have you been evaluated for BPPV?

Not specifically. Have had a ct scan done after I hit a tree at about 25mph with my atv about 10 years ago. Been to the doctors quite a few times. I have more symptoms than just dizziness tho. Stuffed up, eye pain, and a non dizzy sick feeling (like gonna puke but not dizzy). They've had a lot of theories from autoimmune to HIV, taken a bunch of blood tests... but they haven't been helpful much.

Any chance it could be related to anxiety? At one time when I was under a lot of stress I would get dizzy sometimes which would sort of make me panic. It became a thing where I would get anxious over getting dizzy and dizzy over getting anxious. It just kind of went away once I chilled the fukk out.

the last thing I have to do is go to some "ears, nose and throat specialist" I was referred to.
who i will talk to over the phone on thursday. since theres a stupid process for making an appointment now.
things online say vertigo, meneires disease etc.. but I dont have ear pain, ringing, nausea or vomiting feeling. so Idk..
i just get really hot on and off , where the dizziness gets worse. but its been a week straight now.
Right when I wake up I seem pretty normal but after about an hour, it kicks in and does until I sleep.
One of the 2 er doctors says it could be a viral thing. Hopefully it is just some weird virus attacking my nervous system and will go away soon.
dont want my work to fire me or somethin for missin more days
makes you appreciate your health so much more.. if i do get better il be so happy
nothing worse than when doctors cant even help you and the hospital isnt helpful. a different lvl of panic

I have experiencd panic attacks and other types of anxious feelings in the past but never this.. and 24/7 for a week straight.
unless its a new manifestation of anxiety.. idk

Some of the theories that I've had, though never been able to prove or disprove:

-elevated mercury levels (I had 8.2ug/dl in a urine test, which is significantly higher than normal)
-ate a high salt diet for many years. Which may be more damaging than I ever imagined and could explain everythinghttps://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.c...s-study-shows/
-closest disease that I've found seems to be cystic fibrosis. Mainly because my mucus is really thick and salty tasting. Tho my skin isn't salty so that kind of goes against it.
-have done a fair amount of soldering with 60/40 leaded solder and didn't mitigate fumes. Lead I read can lead to lymph system diseases.

My GF shadowed a Neurologist last year prior to COVID, and the #1 thing he deals with is "unknown dizziness". The thing that fixes it a lot of getting ears properly cleaned. May not help either of you, but since Nick's is a recent happening, I would look into it.

I hope things get better for you.

If I were you I would spin in circles for a good 30-60 seconds then fall into bed hopefully. Maybe you can trick what's wrong into pissing off.

Good luck, bro.

One of my uncles randomly passed out once and it turned out he had a brain tumor. He's totally fine now but that chits dangerous.

Check blood pressure?

Theres a lot of weird ideas ive had.. like maybe the drinkin water near me isnt good or maybe I was takin too much supps (i stoppd takin weeks ago just incase)
or stuff like heavy metals etc.. Im not even sure what they tested for when they took my blood twice in the past few weeks.. i feel like the test only the most basic sht.
something to think about. maybe the ear,nose and throat specialist will find something if thats a problem.
i also was thinkin wisdom teeth could cause it? I dont feel pain but maybe they are doing something? (shrug)
they checkd everything, including an actual brain scan so that doesnt seem to be a possibility atm. or at least not something they can see

Please don't consider what I think you're alluding to.

I don't think I've seen you post any really negative things and I'd miss you if you left us.

The world is dark enough right now and the only thing that makes it better is lights in the darkness.

Sounds trite or cliche but I don't like to see people hurt themselves.

Strange coming from someone that drinks his face off daily but oh well. I do what I can.

You got vertigo brah? See a doc

Could be meniere's disease. My dad has it. You're gonna have to be on disability if you have it

check
your adrenals
hormones and
electrolyte levels

SRS

Had couple of nasty vertigo episodes, was hospitalised first time for a day

it went away the next day, i was bit dizzy for a couple days after but nothing like first day.

First time I attributed it to EXTREME stress and lack of sleep

second...no fkin reason...doctors had few theories and one of them was pinched nerve in the back but he said it was impossible to prove

another good theory was teeth infection (upper teeth) could spread to ear.


They don't know what causes it...


don't wish it on anyone srs.


OP I hope it goes away.

no improvement..
went to hospital for like 4th time in past 2 weeks and the doctor was basically kicking me out..

I had an issue with dizziness and this made me better. It sounds like nonsense but it fixed the problem within a couple of days (and I had the issue for months). Good luck, dizzycels.

What’s your water intake like? I’m no dr but the vast majority of us do not drink nearly enough water.

ya bro all the time

So vitals are normal
Been to the hospital 4 times and everything is normal.

Have you had your wisdom teeth removed? or are they still there?
The pressure of impacted wisdom teeth may press on nerve close to your ear and cause dizziness.

Sorry about the dizzy issues you are dealing with. Hope you feel better soon. I've had that problem, and saw a doctor for it. He wasn't much of a help for me, but believed some over the counter medication helpful for dizziness. I forget its name now, but it didn't work for me.

What cured my problem was I stopped eating chocolate. Eating to much chocolate can make me dizzy. A little bit of chocolate is fine. I've known another person that experienced dizzy spells. He found avoiding artificial sweeteners got rid of his dizzy issues.

Try Guaifenesin, sold as mucinex or mucus relief. Can sometimes thin lymph fluid. Maybe lymph system isn't flowing from your inner ear very well.

Its $0.88 at walmart for like 15 tablets and is very safe so won't cause any harm if it doesn't help.

saw this mentiond somewhere when i was searching recently.
doesnt hurt to try i suppose. nothing to lose. i really hope it does somethingthey are still there but i am not feeling any pain from them. is it still possible they are doing something?
idk.. can try i guess

today is weird. my legs are weak and basically had to lay down and close my eyes earlier for an hour cuz couldnt really do anything else

Sinus infection or any sinus issues?

Same bro, had it for a while. Comes and goes. Also been checked and chit comes out normal. Haven't gotten a ct scan or anything like that though.

It all started when I was under heavy stress and anxiety so maybe this trigger it?

not that i know of.can anxiety really do that? its almost been 2 straight weeks..
for me, it started randomly. I think i was feeling a bit of phlegm and trouble breathin before sleep this one morning and woke up and then was dizzy and brain fog, but its been stayin with me and now is worse this week
literally the worst time of my life by far. I feel like im dying and the doctors are basically shrugging at me. fukk

Nick, I had something similar for a long time. Maybe a little different. Every time I squatted or deadlifted I would get major equilibrium issues. When I would walk it would feel like I was in jello land. I never had vertigo but it felt like I was always on the verge. I usually had to force myself to nap for it to go away or get better. Sometimes when I would get sick the sinus pressure made this come back.

I thought I had Meniere's disease because I had quite a few symptoms and I found out my Grandmother has it.

I also thought things like high sodium, high blood pressure, neck issues (had problems with pinched nerves in the past), and even back issues. I cleaned out my ears, tried deep tissue massages, everything.

I finally found the issue by myself. I noticed I would have random low dull pains in my lower right abdomen from time to time. Thought it was my appendix, but it never got worse. Sometimes when I would have to poop I'd get a bit of a sharp pain near my butthole. I had tinnitus and would sometimes get pain/heavy feeling around my heart.

Look up Ileocecal Valve Syndrome. I had a lot of the major symptoms. Do you have any of these symptoms along with it?

Right side pelvic or shoulder pain
Flu symptoms
Nausea
Low back pain
Pain surrounding the heart
Tinnitus
Nausea
Bad breath
Dizziness
Facial pallor
Fainting
Headache
Bowel disturbances (constipation/diarrhea)
Dark circles under the eyes
Dizziness

If you do you can test it by lying down on your bed with your knees bent. Go two inches below your belly button, then two inches to your right. Feel around that area and if you find an almost circular muscle and it is very tender or you get a sharp pain when you push on it, you found your answer. You massage it out by doing pretty deep circular motions.

You also need to cut out caffeine for a while, any roughage like chips, seeds, popcorn, and stay away from spicy foods. I switched to a kind of beef and rice with cooked peppers for meals, small glasses of heated bone broth and chicken stock, and ate pretty bland for a bid. No chocolate. This along with the massages basically got rid of it within 2-4 weeks. I haven't had one episode since.

Also stretch your psoas muscles and hip flexors.

I had the pain by my lower right stomach and it got bad late last year so i actually went to er and they did say it was my appendix. their scan said it was swolen but not bursted but they offerd to take it out anyways.
i still do get weird pains in my stomach though but no diarrhea or anything for a while.
i think you have an interesting point here.. cuz my stomach hasnt felt good in the past.

you just solvd it on your own? or went to doctor for that?
i still get pain though so maybe theres something there.. eating a bodybuilding diet for a long time, bulking, cutting etc.. cant be good in reality for a normal person
