Hi
I have suffered from HA type worries in the past, but this is definitely the worst I've had.
I'll try to summarise as much as possible. I'm 28/m.
It started around 6 weeks ago, I was at work sat down and received some worrying news (at the time) which led to a mild panic attack, with narrowing vision, lightheaded ness and a racing pulse which took a few minutes to pass. It concerned me as this is not really anything I had experienced before but thought it would include it here, it may not be relevant.
A few days after this, I woke up and experience a few vertigo type sensations of the room moving around - that was the first and last of the vertigo - but almost at the same type a whole other range of symptoms presented themselves:
- Feels like I'm walking on a trampoline, or have 'marshmallow feet' - this is mostly mild but ever present since and made worse if looking right or left whilst walking.
- Sinus(?) type pain in the left side of nose radiating to teeth - mostly at the back of outside but also at the front teeth / palate which doesn't seem like a sinus area. At the moment the pressure is around the left canine. The pressure is mostly mild.
- I had some mild congestion, but nothing major prior to this, or since. I don't really get allergies although increasingly and out of nowhere the last few months I've been having a big reaction to alcohol with sneezing and a severe running nose
- Back of head feels like it has a strong pulse, especially at night
- Tingling scalp - maybe even twitching type sensations.
- I've noticed at night sometimes there's a faint flickering of light in my eyes which lasts 1-3 seconds
I initially was given a bunch of nasal sprays and antihistamines for suspected allergies, including Nasonex. I thought initially it helped my nose pressure but I'm not sure if that was a placebo effect.
Last week I was prescribed antibiotics for a suspected dry sinus infection, I'm 4 out of 10 days into the antibiotics and have not really noticed much difference. I will head back to the doctors next week, where I assume they will have to run / order some more extensive tests.
I'm really worried about all of this, and it's taking up 99% of my mental thoughts. I'm supposed to be moving city in the next few weeks for a new job opportunity which I'm increasingly concerned is going to have to be put on hold.
