Dizzy/Off Balance Feelings and Headaches

[cw75]

For the past two weeks I have been feeling dizzy and off balance intermittently throughout the day. It goes away when I am laying down and doesn't seem to cause any actual balance issues. It feels like I have delayed focus when turning my head and just a real spacey feeling sometimes when walking into a room with people. For the past few days I have also felt some pain around my ears, eyes, temples and base of skull/neck. It hasn't gotten better and I am worried it is something more serious like a brain tumor. I did get in a motorcycle accident 1.5 years ago and first thing that hit was my chin (in a helmet thankfully) so it feels the same as when I did after that accident so not sure if it is related to that injury and stress? I had a CT Scan after the accident and nothing was found....no mass or brain injury. That has helped me a little but since these symptoms have lingered for 2 weeks I am starting to worry.....Darn HA!

I've had very similar symptoms (luckily no motorcycle accident for me) before. Being dizzy and off balance is a quite common symptom among people with anxiety, from what I've seen and experienced myself.

I was at my wit's end, just like you. I've had MRI scans, did a Balance Test, my circulation to my head was checked, and more. I've seen a Neurologist, ENTs, and more. Nothing could ever be found. It's weird, because it'll be out of nowhere sometimes that I will have a bunch of dizziness over the course of days or weeks. I distinctly remember last year on the 4th of July going to the hospital because I was SO dizzy that I could often times not walk without having to hold onto something like a railing. I'd never fall, but the uncomfortable sensation was there, that's for sure.

As for pain in the ears, eyes, temples and base of the skull region... well, I am not a doctor by any means, but I've felt many of these (minus the eyes). A lot of tension seems to resonate in the temple area and the base of the skull. Seeing a massage therapist to help release those areas helped me a bit.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I just saw a good massage therapist last week and will continue to go each week until this has subsided. I think it may be a combination of the muscle tension in the jaw/neck and anxiety about it all. Doing my best to not focus on it which seems to always make it much worse and last longer.

I've had the same pain areas, and eye issues too, and massage helps clear it all up.
